   CARRIE (1976) vs. Mike Flanagan’s CARRIE (2026) | Which Is Better?

   Is the original Carrie still the queen of horror, or has Mike Flanagan created a new version that deserves the crown? 🔥 This week on the Couch of the Dead, we're going head-to-head with two versions of one of the most iconic horror stories ever told! We're comparing the legendary 1976 horror classic Carrie, starring Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie, with Mike Flanagan's new Carrie adaptation on Prime Video. Based on the iconic story by Stephen King, Carrie has terrified audiences for decades. But how does the original hold up against a modern reimagining with more time to explore its characters and their backstories? We're breaking down the characters, comparing their motivations, debating which version gets them right, and putting the two adaptations to the ultimate test. From Carrie White herself to the characters who make her world a living nightmare, we're deciding which version comes out on top. And, of course, we couldn't compare Carrie without discussing two of the most iconic sequences in horror history: the prom scene and what follows. 🔥 IN THIS EPISODE: Carrie (1976) vs. Mike Flanagan's Carrie (2026) Stephen King's iconic horror story and its adaptations Sissy Spacek vs. the new Carrie White Comparing Margaret White, Sue Snell, Chris Hargensen, Tommy Ross, and Billy Nolan Which adaptation delivers the strongest character development? How the new series updates the story for modern audiences The original movie's legacy vs. a new interpretation The ultimate showdown: Which Carrie deserves the crown?
