Biography[]
Film versions[]
The 1976 film version of Ralph was only mentioned by name during the movie. Carrie (Sissy Spacek) revealed at one point that "he ran away". Mrs. White (Piper Laurie) tried to convince her daughter that her husband was tempted by the devil and taken away. Carrie, on the other hand, saw the devil as another woman, whom Ralph ran away with.
23 years later, Ralph was mentioned again by a woman named Barbara Lang, the mother of Rachel Lang, the main heroine-turned villain of 1999 horror film The Rage: Carrie 2. Barbara said that Ralph was the father of Rachel. Rachel herself possessed similar demonic powers to Carrie, and was also considered an outsider and outcast, although Rachel was more independent and outspoken than Carrie herself. Meanwhile, a grown Sue Snell (Amy Irving), the sole survivor of the Bates High School Senior Prom Massacre, tried to inform Rachel that she and Carrie were somehow related, since Ralph was father to both girls.
