Fun Trivia
Stephen King's first published novel has been called a modern classical of the supernatural (Michael Berry, at common sense media). It was made into a film in 1976 by Brian de Palma, with Sissy Spacek in the title role, and again in 2013. Then there was a 1988 Broadway musical (with a 2012 revival) and a 1999 film sequel, as well as a 2002 made-for-television film. These quizzes are about the original book.

Carrie Trivia Questions
1. What was the first event that showed Carrie's strange talent?

From Quiz Carrie

Answer: Falling rocks

Carrie's mother yells at Carrie after she talks to the girl that lives in the house next door, so Carrie, without realizing it, makes the rocks come. Later on, Carrie tells her mother that she will make it happen again if she does not get her way.

2. What is the name of Carrie's senior school?

From Quiz "Carrie" by Stephen King (The Book)

Answer: Ewen High School

This is where Carrie went through the torments that teenage girls inflict on each other. One of the wrong answers is where I went through mine! Another wrong answer may be familiar to British players - Fenn Street was the setting for a British comedy series called 'Please, Sir'.

From Quiz Do You Remember "Carrie" ?

Answer: Margaret White

Margaret White was played by Piper Laurie in the big screen version of Carrie. She was nominated for an Academy Award (best supporting actress), as was Sissy Spacek (best actress) in the title role of Carrie. Nominations unheard of for a horror film!

Answer: Margaret saw the classmate smoking a cigarette

Peculiar woman. One (well I did) wonders what Carrie would have become in a more normal household?

8. What is the first thing Margaret White says as soon as she comes in through the door and sees Carrie, after Carrie arrived home following the locker room incident? ?

From Quiz The Master of Horror, Stephen King's ~ Carrie

From Quiz The Master of Horror, Stephen King's ~ Carrie

Answer: Sue Snell

17. Who asks Carrie to the Spring Ball?

From Quiz Carrie

Answer: Tommy

Chris Hargensen, angry with the disciplinary actions set against her, confides in her boyfriend, Billy Nolan, that she wants to crash prom. She tells the same thing to Sue, but doesn't get the response she hopes for because Sue has remorse for her actions. Sue, understanding what she did was wrong, aims to rise above it and make it up to Carrie in some way. Her solution ends up being to have her boyfriend, Tommy, ask Carrie to Spring Ball so she can feel included (as she says, it's an opportunity to make her a part of things). He does ask her in class and, although she thinks it's a trick at first, she accepts his invitation. Carrie takes it upon herself to buy the fabric to make her own prom dress, opting to buy fancier material than normal for the occasion. During dinner that night, however, when she tells her mother the news, she once again gets criticized and attacked. This does, however, give Carrie the chance to exhibit her growing power.

From Quiz Carrie

Sue feels very bad after the shower incident and still thinks about it, even days after the event took place.

From Quiz "Carrie" by Stephen King (The Book)

Answer: Brigham

Margaret didn't marry Ralph until she was thirty. Her mother remarried to a man named Harold Alison, but they had 'lived in sin', which didn't please Margaret! Miss Desjardin and Donna Thibodeau are Carrie's gym mistress and a classmate, respectively.

20. Sue Snell asks her boyfriend to ask Carrie to the prom. What is her boyfriend's name?

From Quiz Stephen King's "Carrie"

24. What was Tommy Ross's middle name?

From Quiz "Carrie" by Stephen King (The Book)

Answer: Everett

If you skipped the 'learned thesis' bits because they were boring, you might have missed this bit. The thesis also discusses the Kennedy assassination, hence the 'Harvey' and 'Fitzgerald' wrong answers. Winston is a popular middle name in the UK like Jefferson seems to be in the US.

25. Although Miss Desjardin wanted the punishment for the girls' treatment of Carrie in the shower to be three days' suspension and refusal of their prom tickets, it instead turned out to be...?

27. Where did Carrie go to high school?

From Quiz Do You Remember "Carrie" ?

Answer: Ewen High School

Were you fooled? Owen is actually Stephen King's son's name, and Overlook is the name of a hotel in another one of King's novels..."The Shining".

28. What was the name of the hangout where the kids from the high school frequented?

From Quiz Carrie

Answer: Kelly Fruit Company

After the tragedy in Chamberlin, since most of the kids he knew had died, the owner decided not to rebuild and take his insurance money and retire to Florida.

From Quiz Carrie

Answer: Her mother

It's the end of May when Carrie tries her dress on for the first time, right before the prom, and when she does, her mother walks in on her and suggests that she burn the dress so that they may repent. Carrie refuses, forcing her mother out. When the time finally comes, Carrie prepares for the big event while her mother prays loudly elsewhere in the house. Tommy arrives at her door to find her there, ready to go, and tells her that she looks beautiful. Their arrival at the dance only boosts Carrie's self-esteem; she exhibits wit and beauty and her classmates are surprised to find out she's made her own gown. Chris and Billy, meanwhile, commit to their plan and leave their hotel room with the intent to enact revenge (pig blood for a pig, according to Billy). The day before prom, Billy rigged the whole thing. All it would take is a single tug of a rope.

30. Who asks Carrie to the prom?
