  • "The Black Prom" is a slang term for the massive and horrific fire that occurred at Ewen High School in the small New England town of Chamberlain, Maine. It is an event in both the 1976 supernatural horror movie Carrie and the controversial 1974 horror novel by Stephen King. It was here Carrie White used her telekinetic powers to exact revenge on her tormentors, but ended up igniting a conflagration within the gymnasium where the senior prom took place. Not everyone was caught and killed in the aftermath--depending on either version of the story, some students survived (the film or the novel's).
