Midnights at the Baxter presents 'Carrie' [Movies]
Being the story of a shy teenage girl who gets pushed too far...

Last week we discussed the impact the works of William Shakespeare has made on the world of cinema. Now we turn our attention to a more modern (though definitely less influential) great source of stories: Stephen King.
