1976 opening day premiere of "Carrie" film advertisement...

Item # 728866 ·
LOS ANGELES TIMES, Nov. 14, 1976 (an original vintage newspaper leaf from the Calendar section)  This offering consists of four complete pages (two double-sided sheets on one single leaf), serving as a rare piece of cinematic ephemera, highlighted by an original vintage print advertisement announcing the opening day release of  "CARRIE" starring sissy Spacek on one of the pages. (see images).

In addition to the featured movie ad, which captures the era's distinct theatrical promotional graphics and classic key art, the surrounding pages provide a fascinating snapshot of late 20th-century entertainment and pop culture. Printed on authentic newsprint with genuine vintage toning, this original leaf is not a modern reprint, making it an ideal piece for custom framing, film history display, or inclusion in a dedicated cinema memorabilia collection.

Background: Directed by Brian De Palma and adapted from Stephen King’s debut novel, Carrie (1976) centers on Carrie White (Sissy Spacek in an Oscar-nominated performance), a sheltered, socially isolated teenager tormented by brutal high school bullies and abused by her fanatically religious mother, Margaret (Piper Laurie, also Oscar-nominated). Upon discovering she possesses formidable telekinetic abilities, Carrie finds a brief glimmer of hope when invited to the senior prom by a popular classmate, only for her peers to orchestrate a humiliating prank involving a bucket of pig's blood over her head. Triggering a total psychological breakdown, Carrie unleashes her powers in a harrowing climax, locking the gymnasium doors and executing a ruthless, telekinetic massacre via fire, electricity, and flying debris before returning home to face her lethal final confrontation with her mother.
