Customers Freak Out as Viral Video Unleashes 'Carrie' in a Coffee Shop

It's scary enough watching Carrie wreak havoc with her telekinetic powers on a movie screen. Imagine what it would be like to see it while you were ordering a latte.
For some unsuspecting patrons of a New York City coffee shop, a scary confrontation straight out of a Stephen King novel (and its two movie adaptations) happened right before their eyes. But creating supernatural occurrences in real life takes a lot of planning and effort. Watch the video of the prank inspired by the upcoming new version of "Carrie," then read on to find out how the creative team made it happen (without dumping pig blood on anybody).
The video was the creation of Thinkmodo, the New York-based viral video marketing company. The company previously grabbed headlines with their video that showed a man "hacking" the video screens in Times Square (actually a promotion for the Bradley Cooper movie "Limitless"). And they flew remote control airplanes that looked like flying people over the Hudson River for the superhero flick "Chronicle." But to create a stunt for "Carrie," it took an army of technicians, actors, stunt performers, and one very amenable coffee shop.
