Line 42:
{{quote| '''The principal:''' We're really sorry about this incident, Cassie... <br />
'''Carrie:''' IT'S ''CARRIE!'' }}
* [[No Periods, Period]]: Averted in the first five minutes. She gets her first period at age 17 -- and she is under the impression that she is bleeding to death.
* [[Ordinary High School Student]]
* [[Person of Mass Destruction]]: She burns down her high school and kills scores of people during her rampage. In the book and the remake, she also destroys most of the town.
Line 51:
* [[Puberty Superpower]]: Semi-averted. She had latent powers since birth, but only managed to gain control over them at adolescence.
* [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]
* {{spoiler|[[Self
* [[Shrinking Violet]]
* {{spoiler|[[Spared By the Adaptation]]}}: In the remake.
Line 76:
* [[Hollywood Heart Attack]]: In the book and in the '02 version, {{spoiler|Carrie kills her by psychically squeezing her heart until it stops beating}}.
* [[Knight Templar]]
* [[Knocking On Heathens' Door]]: In the original, she is seen doing this at Mrs. Snell's house.
* [[Large Ham]]: Piper Laurie's performance in the '76 version. Laurie felt that her performance was so over-the-top that the film ''had'' to be a comedy... before she saw the finished product, of course.
* [[My Beloved Smother]]
* [[Religious Stereotype]]: She is every stereotype of Christian fundamentalists rolled into one and mixed liberally with raving insanity.
* [[
** In the '76 film she not only wears black, ''she wears a cape.''
* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: Everything she does in the story, from [[Knocking On Heathens' Door|visiting people's doors]] to {{spoiler|attempting murder}}, is because she believes she's helping people in desperate need of saving. Her intentions are good, but her actions are reprehensible.
