Carrie

We've been talking about Carrie the Musical for quite some time here on Dread Central, and with its premiere date of January 31st creeping up on us, the MCC Theater has dropped some eye candy and more!

Great news coming in for those of you out there sitting around and saying to yourselves, "Man, you know what we need? Another remake of Stephen King's Carrie!" Another telling is on its way, and we've got the skinny on whether or not they're all gonna laugh at you right here.

"So many pretty parts and no pretty wholes." That basically sums up the motivation behind the title character of Lucky McKee's 2002 breakout film, May. And there was no bigger reason that the film and director found success than the unforgettable star of the film, and the newest Doctor Gash's Tip of the Scalpel honoree, Angela Bettis.

With performances beginning on January 31, 2012, it was inevitable that word would start trickling out regarding the final casting lineup for Carrie, the newly reworked and re-imagined production of the short-lived 1988 Broadway musical being performed at the Lucille Lortel Theatre. Today we bring you the full cast and crew for director Stafford Arima's Carrie, which opens officially on March 1st.

They're all gonna sing with you! They're all gonna sing with you! They're all gonna sing with you! And they will too if they know what's good for them. That's right, kids! Carrie: The Musical is returning to the New York stage and we've got all the info for you!

And here we go again. Carrie the Musical is returning to the New York stage, this time Off Broadway at the MCC Theater with preview performances set to begin on January 31, 2012. Director Stafford Arima has overhauled the 1988 version with its original creators, with the book (then and now) by Lawrence D. Cohen, music by Michael Gore, and lyrics by Dean Pitchford.

When MGM announced that they would be remaking the Stephen King classic Carrie, again, the door to bad ideas literally flew open. While we pray the movie succeeds, we just know it's going to be put in the hands of the teen-friendly Prom Night film crew or someone of the like. (Please. Someone prove us wrong.) But the disturbing ideas do not end there ...

It was just yesterday that MGM announced it was looking to resurrect Stephen King's Carrie in remake form, and today the man himself adds his two cents to the situation. Read on for the details.

"THEY'RE ALL GONNA LAUGH AT YOU!!!" I've had that sentence ringing in my head since the very first time I saw the first screen version of Stephen King's Carrie. Looks like MGM is ready to jump-start that psycho-kinetic laughter once more.

With featured roles in Brian De Palma’s Carrie, John Carpenter’s Halloween, Allan Arkush's Rock 'n' Roll High School (featuring The Ramones), and Rob Zombie’s The Devil's Rejects, P.J. Soles has appeared in some of the most iconic cult/horror films of all time.
