In the actual novel, Carrie alone goes on a rampage that kills 458 people (although, readers can debate at length whose fault the whole thing is). However, in Mike Flanagan&#8217;s version of Carrie, a new character called Emaline West pops up at the prom in the ending. That final episode gets very messy (literally) and a bit hard to follow. Thankfully, Mike Flanagan has clarified precisely which deaths are on Carrie, and which parts of the ending are Emaline&#8217;s responsibility.<\/p>\n<h2>In the TV show, Carrie is responsible for three people&#8217;s endings<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10269\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10269\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-10269\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/10\/claudias-canva-chaos-vii-2026-10-15T120551.971-2-1024x538.png\" alt=\"Carrie at the prom (before everything falls apart)(Image via Prime Video)\" width=\"640\" height=\"336\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/10\/claudias-canva-chaos-vii-2026-10-15T120551.971-2-1024x538.png 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/10\/claudias-canva-chaos-vii-2026-10-15T120551.971-2-768x403.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/10\/claudias-canva-chaos-vii-2026-10-15T120551.971-2.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10269\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Carrie at the prom (before everything falls apart)<br \/>(Image via Prime Video)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Mike Flanagan told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/carrie-season-1-finale-emaline-prom\/\">Polygon<\/a>: &#8220;It&#8217;s important to me that there were certain things <a href=\"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/2026\/10\/12\/carries-prime-video-period-scene-backlash-but-stephen-king-has-an-explanation\/\">Carrie White<\/a> needed to be 100 per cent solely responsible for.
