Let's talk about the blood-soaked, prom queen of our dreams who — spoiler alert! — burns the whole ass gymnasium down cinematic masterpiece from 1976, Carrie.

One of my favourite things about the origin story of this movie is that after Stephen King scoured the deepest, darkest, recesses of his mind to conjure up the most horrific scenario that he could —a teenage girl has her period for the first time in a public school shower, leading all of her classmates to laugh at her and pelt her with tampons! Horrors! 

This episode explores the film’s portrayal of interconnected themes of religious trauma and abuse, shame, and the monstrous feminine. 

Mental Health is Horrifying is hosted by Candis Green, owner of Many Moons Therapy.
