Legendary horror author StephenKing reacts to StrangerThings season 4 paying homage to Carrie while praising the Netflix show's latest entry.
Stephen King reacts to Stranger Things season 4 making a reference to Carrie. King is one of the most successful horror authors to ever live, with several of his novels and short stories being adapted into movies and TV shows. Carrie was not only King's first published novel, but it has also become one of his most well-known stories, revolving around a bullied high schooler named Carrie White, who has telekinetic powers.
With Carrie being one of King's most popular stories, it wasn't much of a surprise that Stranger Things paid homage to the novel. The beginning of Stranger Things season 4 shows Eleven struggling to adjust to moving to California with the Byers family. El is constantly bullied at school by Angela and her other classmates. This storyline culminates when Mike visits Eleven and Will in California, and the trio goes to Rink-O-Mania.
The new season of STRANGER THINGS is really cool--as good or better than the previous three. There's even a CARRIE riff. Is it the whole season or is it another one of those that's broken into 2 parts? IMHO that's kind of lame.Carrie is just one of the many references Stranger Things season 4 made to iconic horror films. Some are obvious, like the Evil Dead poster in Jonathan's room or the Freddy Krueger cardboard cut-out in Robin and Steve's Family Video store. The scene where Robin and Nancy visit Victor Creel is a clear reference to Silence of the Lambs, and the Duffer Bros.
Given King's impact on horror literature and film, it makes sense that Carrie influenced Stranger Things. King clearly has just as much respect for the Duffer Bros. as they do for him, with King previously calling Stranger Things season 2"balls to the wall entertainment." Stranger Things season 4's first seven episodes have already received a lot of praise, but it is likely an honor for the Duffer Bros. that King specifically loves the latest season.
