My introduction to Carrie was with the 2002 TV movie version. They changed the ending and left it without much closure, because I'm pretty sure they intended to drag it out into a series. Alas, that never happened. This version was pretty good, and I believe they modernized it to take place in the 2000s. But nothing compares to Sissy Spacek. Although, I haven't seen the most recent movie adaptation yet. #SawTheMovieFirst #StephenKing17
#SawTheMovieFirst I've seen many of the films before reading the books but It was the very first one. I saw it as a kid, the second time it aired on television, and I loved it. After seeing it was based on a book I begged my parents to take me to Walden's bookstore to see if they had it, and they did. This film is how I discovered King. One of the reasons I'm so fond of it. #StephenKing17 @Josie @Gayan
#sawthemoviefirst and I still haven't gotten around to reading this. 😵 #stephenking17
#sawthemoviefirst So imagine my surprise when I realized that they had actually toned down the novel for the movie. Newsflash and spoiler alert: she didnt use a sledge hammer to break his legs. The books was much worse.

#stephenking17 Day 9 It seems like I used to see a lot of SK's movies before reading the books. I saw Silver Bullet as a kid but didn't read the novella until last year. #sawthemoviefirst
Haven't read the book, but I liked the movie and I hear a tv series is in the works! #stephenking17 #sawthemoviefirst
Saw this movie, and sadly it was so bad that the book is still in my #TBR. Someday, maybe. Thankfully, there's still a bunch I haven't read, and he's generous enough to keep providing me with more material! 😜#sawthemoviefirst #StephenKing17
I #sawthemoviefirst many, many years ago. I haven't read the book but really should. #stephenking17 #day9 @Gayan @Josie
#StephenKing17 #day9 #sawthemoviefirst Does someone read this before seeing The shawshank redemption, saw it a millon times in my childhood before learning that it was a book, the same story goes with Stand by me that is in the other part of this collection.

I only just read the book a few years ago and didn't expect it to be so different from the movie. I like both but it's hard to compare them; the movie is so iconic but I liked the characters better in the book. I also loved the topiary animals, I thought that was the scariest scene #sawthemoviefirst #stephenking17
