\n\tWith chaperones like these, it\u2019s a wonder the prom in Prime Video<\/a>\u2018s Carrie<\/a> didn\u2019t end in a higher body count.<\/p>\n

\n\tNow available to stream, the penultimate episode \u201cRomantic Literature\u201d of Mike Flanagan<\/a>\u2018s series adaptation of the Stephen King book ends with the iconic pig\u2019s blood splattering of Carrie White (Summer H. Howell).<\/p>\n

\n\tAs the camera cuts to the crowd, we see a gymnasium full of stunned faces, including those of Flanagan\u2019s fellow horror maestros Bryan Fuller<\/a> (Hannibal, Dust Bunny) and Don Mancini<\/a> (Chucky, Child\u2019s Play).<\/p>\n

\n\tLast week, Mancini congratulated Flanagan on his series adaptation of King\u2019s 1974 debut novel. \u201cCONGRATULATIONS TO @flanaganfilm AND TO CHUCKY\u2019S OLD PAL @summerhhowell ON YOUR BRILLIANT, HEARTRENDING NEW VERSION OF #carrie,\u201d he wrote on Instagram<\/a>. \u201cFans of De Palma\u2019s film (it\u2019s my official Favorite Horror Movie) will love it; the TV series is rewardingly, and thrillingly, different. Summer, Chucky is very proud of you!\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHowell, who takes over the title role in Flanagan\u2019s Carrie, previously made her onscreen debut as Alice Pierce in 2013\u2019s Curse of Chucky, reprising the role in Cult of Chucky (2017), both from writer\/director Mancini.<\/p>\n

\n\tFuller, whose cameo comes after he penned the 2002 NBC TV movie Carrie, shared a behind-the-scenes photo with Mancini from the series. \u201cA COUPLE OF KILLER QUEENS CHAPERONING CARRIE\u2019S PROM,\u201d he captioned the post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tFlanagan previously shared praise for Fuller\u2019s \u201cterrific\u201d version<\/a> of the Friday the 13th prequel series Crystal Lake, which has since been taken over by showrunner and EP Brad Caleb Kane, premiering Oct. 15 on Peacock.<\/p>\n
