Stephen King's 'the Glass Floor'
Written by King aged 19 and inspired by the notion of
'what it would be like to stand in a room where the floor was a mirror'.
Revisiting the story in 1990, King described it as 'clumsy and badly written -the product of an uninformed storyteller's mind'

Carrie
Movie Rating. 10
The first, and still the best adaptation of a King Novel to this date.
Perfect casting across the board and directed by a master (Brian De Palma)
The Prom scene and final closing graveyard moment are still some of the most frightening and effective scenes in movie History.

The real Carrie White?
Carrie is based on 2 girls Stephen King went to school with:
Tina White: who was bullied by classmates for 'wearing the same clothes every day'
And
Sandra Irving: who was raised by a fanatically religious single mother and completely ignored and ostracized by her peers.

Carrie 1974
King's First Novel which was originally intended as a short story, but expanded organically as King wrote.
His initial first draft, he hated and threw away.
Only at his wife Tabitha's insistence -who literally took it out of the trash bin-did he return to it and begin writing again.
