The Foo Fighters put a lot of effort into their contribution to the viral phenomenon by recreating the iconic prom scene from the 1976 horror film _Carrie_. In the movie, Carrie gets drenched with pig’s blood — luckily, the Foo Fighters used ice water instead. Grohl nominates a few others to complete the challenge: Stephen King (who wrote the book upon which the film is based), John Travolta (who was in the movie) and Jack Black (for unknown reasons.) But it’s going to be pretty hard for anyone to top this. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3145571/als-ice-bucket-challenge-foo-fighters-video/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3145571/als-ice-bucket-challenge-foo-fighters-video/"},"headline":"The Foo Fighters Spoof Carrie for Their Ice Bucket Challenge Video","datePublished":"2014-08-19T21:34:42.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:12:35.006Z","description":"Ever wanted to see Dave Grohl in a prom dress?
