Hmmmm.  Something is weird with my computer.  I read Iggy's quote 
from Brian *before* Brian posted it.  (At least on my screen.)
The end of "Carrie" was unique in its day because it was the first 
movie that I recall in which the story seemed to be wrapped up and 
the "villian" dispatched (in this case, Carrie, a scary/sympathetic 
type of villian, *dead*) and then the final scene was a blow-you-away 
shocker. <eeeeeeeeeeeeekkk!> 
Now, of course, the *final twist* is standard fare in a horror movie 
and I doubt that the audience would clear out without it occurring.

Elle (high fiving Brian and Cindy for their taste in horror flicks, 
and low fiving Cindy (under the desk) for having "Carrie" nightmares 
*all night long* like, errrr, someone else she knows)
