Various TV shows and films have been made based on Stephen King’s novels over the years, and those who have an Amazon Prime subscription have recently been introduced with Mike Flanagan as the second. carry series. Unsurprisingly, the show ended on the infamous prom massacre, where Summer H. Howell’s title character uses her telekinetic powers to kill her classmates. This scene is a nightmare, but there were actual dance parties happening while it was being filmed.
Carry’A new book to screen adaptation of the prom scene was offered in the season finale, with Flanagan once again showing his ability to scare and impress audiences. As you can see in the video above, CinemaBlend spoke to the cast of the film, where Billy Nolan actor Arthur Conti shared the lighter side of shooting the show’s bloodiest sequence. In his words:
I loved prom because it was the only time when all the actors were there at the same time. So we were all hanging out and our camaraderie was very strong in those days, I think. And it was night too. You go a little crazy when shooting at night.
As scary as it was to see Carrey kill his classmates in the last episode of the Amazon series, it looks like the cast had some fun on set. That is because they were all ultimately in the same place at the same time. Add in the babble that can come with night shooting, and one can only imagine how much mischief and laughter was caused when the epic prom sequence was captured on film.
carry It includes a new background story and plenty of surprising plot twists for even the most hardcore fan. Still, we all knew it was a buildup to the prom, and the title character was using her telekinetic powers to kill both harassers and innocent classmates. While the sequence itself was only a few minutes long, it actually took over two weeks to film.
Later in the same interview, Conti and Tommy actor Joel Ouellette was asked if the cast let loose with some dance parties on set, and both laughed and responded by saying:
- Joel Ollet: Maybe we have become a little weak.
- Arthur Conti: There is a video of that.
- Joel Ollet: We always find ourselves dancing. Even before this.
- Arthur Conti: We’re always dancing, me and him.
This sounds like a great way to relax, and will likely feature some more B-roll footage of the prom before Carrey is crowned and ultimately drenched in a bucket of pig’s blood. As much as the actors had to scream in pain and terror, it was equally nice to know that they had so much fun too. Maybe I won’t have nightmares about that sequence after all.
carry It’s streaming in its entirety on Amazon as part of 2026 tv schedule. The season finale introduced a lot of narrative threads that could be fleshed out for Season 2, so hopefully Mike Flanagan gets that opportunity.
