Intriguing Facts About Iconic Celebrities We’re Only Learning Now, Decades Later

Without a doubt, one of the most recognizable horror movies ever is “Carrie.” But did you know that to get ready for Carrie, Sissy Spacek slept three nights while covered in pig blood? The sight of the prom queen drenched in pig’s blood is unmistakable even to people who haven’t watched the movie. 

Sissy Spacek’s portrayal of the title character, Carrie, is a big reason why “Carrie” is so memorable. The film’s most famous scene is perhaps the one when newly crowned prom queen Carrie White is covered in pig’s blood. It took days to finish, and to maintain continuity, Sissy Spacek slept in the “bloody” clothes until the scene was captured on film rather than reapplying the fake blood.
