In many ways, Carrie is just as sad as it is scary. The film's most iconic scene finds Sissy Spacek's titular telekinetic teen wreaking havoc on her prom after her classmates drop pig blood on her. It's one of horror's greatest sequences in large part because it shows a young woman coming into her power, but also because it's technically brilliant. However, the best scare in the film happens in the final moments, when Carrie's classmate Nancy (and the audience) is treated to the jump scare to end all jump scares.
