3. Mom: Margaret White
Carrie (Piper Laurie)
Her deal: Oh my goodness, what a seriously disturbed woman Margaret is. Psychotically religious, she has raised her daughter, Carrie, in near isolation. And since Carrie doesn't know a whole lot about the world, it causes her all kinds of grief at school. But what Margaret and the rest don't know is that Carrie has telekinetic powers--and you really don't want to get her angry.
Her parenting skills (or lack thereof):. Besides the fact she's a total lunatic, Margaret won't tell Carrie anything about her impending womanhood and when pressed, locks Carrie in a small, scary closet so she can "repent." That's helpful.
Her motherly moment: Hmmm, let's see...trying to give her daughter back to God by stabbing her several times? Yeah, that can't be good.
