Exactly and agreed.

Since we never see Tommy exit the school that's on fire, I'd say yes to him dying in the film which is brutally tragic and unfair since he was basically a nice guy.
You've seen Guy Standeven in something because the man was in everything.

I know right did he really die but I'm pretty sure he did cause I read the book and Stephen King said he did so ya he probably did

For her role in 'Carrie' She was so convincing as a fanatic nut!

Everyone who knows about Stephen King knows that he threw the manuscript in the trash, and his wife fished it out. It was never thrown "in a fireplace and burned."

I thought he threw it in a garbage can and she pulled it out.

So very true! Watching Carrie now! Great movie for Halloween!

Interestingly enough, negative comments aside and he may deserve them, but Woody Allen does this as well and it is pretty remarkable. Few men should ever write a story about a woman from the woman's POV.but the great ones seem to do it with ease.

My husband just told me, and I never knew this, but when Stephen King wrote the manuscript for Carrie, he actually threw it in the fireplace,thinking it wasn't good, and his wife retrieved it from the fireplace before it was burned, and she read it, and turned out that the manuscript was sold, the following year started his career!
Really? I never knew that. I'm not much of a scary movie fan but I have always liked this one and the book is great. I've always been impressed with how a man could get into a female mind and seem to understand all the emotions that come with being a teenager. Thank the Lord his wife got it before it burned! Doesn't the saying go behind a great man is a great woman? Way to go Mrs. King!

Aww..that's soo sad! I liked his character.

Yesalong with everyone else.
Remember that, at the end of the film, Sue's mother was on the phone with Betty and said that she would not let Sue go to the funerals. "With Tommy and all the others gone, it's best we just go away for a while."

you didn't notice that was the OP?
Oh God. Fortune

on my eiderdown once more.

Who and what are you talking about?? They're talking about the MAN, Tommy, that took Carrie to the prom, and he was a good guy. Get with the program.

So glad with the way her character died!She definitely deserved it considering how she treaTed Carrie.
