Even though many Stephen King stories have been adapted for film and television, Carrie remains a truly iconic and influential work. The story and the movie are packed with memorable scenes that still appear in modern media. What makes Carrie so effective is its ability to balance genuine horror with the relatable struggles of being a teenager – something many viewers connect with.

By balancing fear and curiosity, The Skeleton Key delivers a truly shocking twist ending. Despite not initially receiving rave reviews, it’s a film horror fans should definitely check out.
