Funko, the renowned creator of collectible figures, continues to pay homage to legendary horror franchises, including beloved adaptations of Stephen King’s works. One of King’s most iconic characters, Carrie White from Brian De Palma’s “Carrie,” received her first Pop! figure last year. Now, Funko has unveiled a new variant of the Carrie figure that entices horror fans to dim the lights and experience her chilling wrath.
The new Carrie Pop! figure features a black light design, adding a captivating twist to the original Funko version. This rendition captures the unforgettable scene from the film where Carrie endures a humiliating experience at her prom. A group of school bullies dumps pig’s blood on her just moments after she is crowned prom queen. As horror enthusiasts are well aware, this triggers Carrie’s descent into madness, as she harnesses her telekinetic powers to exact revenge, leaving a trail of carnage. The image of a blood-soaked Carrie, her intense gaze penetrating one’s soul, remains one of the most spine-chilling moments in horror history and showcases the genre’s darker aspects.
Funko’s initial Pop! figure expertly portrayed the fear-inducing scene, with Carrie’s outstretched arm preparing to strike her victims. However, the new black light version stands as a masterpiece within this specific subseries. The transformation of the blood-red color to neon pink gives the figure a striking presence among other terrifying collectibles. The infusion of purple, yellow, and orange hues complements the overall color scheme, creating a harmonious blend. And that’s not all; when the lights go out, Carrie emits an eerie glow. This black light figure is priced at $14.99 and is exclusively available from Entertainment Earth.

While Stephen King’s works have seen numerous adaptations since 1976, some more successful than others, “Carrie” holds the distinction of being the first cinematic interpretation of the renowned horror author’s work. Long before audiences witnessed Jack Torrance’s descent into madness at The Overlook Hotel or Pennywise haunting Derry, Carrie White emerged as a force of nature unlike anything genre fans had seen before. De Palma’s raw and powerful direction, combined with Sissy Spacek’s brilliant performance as the lead, and the unsettling blend of coming-of-age themes and religious undertones, cemented the 1976 film as a horror classic and one of King’s finest adaptations. Subsequent versions of “Carrie” have been produced, including the underappreciated 2013 remake, but none have managed to capture the atmospheric nightmare fuel present in the original film.

Both the 1976 and 2013 versions of “Carrie” are available for streaming on Paramount+.
