How We Got Here: The only adaptation to follow this route. We start off two weeks after the disaster with the detectives interviewing the survivors. Carrie. Sue not only revives her following total immersion in the bathtub, but also keeps her hidden long enough to drive her to Florida.

This has the two-fold effect of highlighting Carrie’s growing sexual awareness and confidence while also making her appear more and more vulnerable as the night progresses toward its disastrous ending. She boldly displayed her handiwork and adult body to her mother, but it’s notable how she hoiked the dress up and covered herself in a shawl once she left home. Her dirty-pillows display to her mother was an act of bravado, but when she gets around her contemporaries, she does her best to withdraw and not make such a show of herself.Carrie was raised isolated from society by her single mother after her father Ralph White left them for another woman.

Only in Florida: Where else would a girl with Psychic Powers who faked her death run and hide in? The one place where such a thing would pass for "normal." Justified in that Sue lampshades that Florida was as far as she could take Carrie before having to return. Modesty Towel: In the Shower Scene, Tina is in a towel as she's testing the water. This is because Katharine Isabelle refuses to do nudity.

Tropes:

Carrie killed 73 people at the night of the Prom. The school was rebuilt elsewhere in Chamberlain and the ruins of the former school are still there. Additionally that part of the town of Chamberlain is deserted. Finally the incident also became in time some kind of "Urban Legend" in the town. Carrie's father Ralph, had another daughter named Rachel Lang, who was also a carrier of telekinesis. In an alternate ending, we see Sue giving birth to the baby mentioned by Carrie. But instead of a baby, a blood-covered arm comes out (Carrie's?). Sue wakes up screaming revealing that the arm was her mother's. Cliffhanger Copout: Miss Desjardin is shown hanging from the vent for dear life, the chair underneath her having fallen over. Later she is being interviewed by the detective, with no explanation of how she escaped.
