Everyone's favorite Mortimer Snerd is turning 50 this week! On April 5, 1974, a little novel named Carrie by an unknown author named Stephen King was unleashed on an unsuspecting public. Fifty years later, the book has been adapted multiple times, is still in print, has been translated into multiple languages, and has seared itself into the public consciousness, helping turn Stephen King into a household name in the process. This video is all about Carrie - new thoughts after a recent reread of the novel, and my previous anecdotes shared in a video from 2023.
