Sad part is the girl was scared to lose her cat. loses entire family instead

When James was shocked that she slept with her cat tucked up together, I realized how lucky I am to do that with my cat everyday/night.

Gages death made me cry. He was such an innocent kid. Right before he died you could see the confused innocent look on his face like he had no idea what was about to happen.

This is considered one of King's most brutal books, and the inspiration actually came from when King and his family rented a cabin up in Maine next to a similarly 18 wheeler busy road. His daughter, Naomi, lost her beloved cat Smucky first. The youngest of the King children Owen, who would go on to write Sleeping Beauties, almost suffered the same fate as Gage if it weren't for King scooping him at the last minute. The event shook up King so much that he sat himself down and wrote down what would have happened if he didn't save his son on time. It got the seal of approval from his writer wife Tabitha and off it went to the publishing house.

Judd: Let's bury your cat in this evil place. Also Judd later: Yeah my undead dog was evil when it came back to life.

For those who are concerned about the cat actor's health in the film When the cat is killed a second time at the climax, the needle is rigged to look as if it is sticking into him, but it is not. The cat was sedated by a veterinarian. A representative of American Humane was present and the cat made a full recovery. Both the cat and dog are made to appear bloody at times. Harmless make-up was used to look like blood The cat is okay. You can breathe.

I think the fact the movie erased the detail that not all of the animals who came back went bad really made Judd and Louis seem a lot stupider than they were in the book

My biggest gripe with this movie is how over the top it is with every horror aspect of the story. In the book, all the creepy things about the micmac cemetery are initially very subtle. Like Church for example, he doesn't come back as an evil angry zombie cat, instead he's just much more "calm" than the usual, like he doesn't react a lot about anything, and walks in a funny wiggling way. Louis even says that he seems normal, but there's just something off. Same thing with Judd's dog, he says that during the time he was alive after the first burial, he was just a bit different, like his mind was somewhere else, or something.

Not gonna lie, that baby actor is better at acting than the guy who plays the dad.

“What happens when you bury a goldfish in the Pet Sematary ?” - my 10th grade world history teacher 2019

Lewis:*notices that Church and Gabe came back fucked up after being buried in the cemetery* also Lewis at the end of the film: ”ill fucking do it again”

Fun fact: If you look closely, in the background there's a poster with the word "Rabies" and a picture of cujo. And in one of the scenes with Judd he mentions about a St. Bernard with rabies, aka cujo.

1:plant your cats 2:water them 3:you have your catfruit

Nobody: Every kid in Stephan kings movies/novels: Ight ima head out

Fun fact: the crew for this movie has to find a cat specifically to hiss because the other 6 cats that played church were hired for other specific reasons.

can we all take a moment to appreciate how james can make any horror movie absoultly hilarious

Get that baby a leash, I use one on my basset hound and it stops him from going on to the highway

Birdbox: *Just drives over adults like speed bumps with a normal car* Pet Cematary: *huge semi truck drives in to a 3 year old and does a 360*

I remember my mom telling me about how my grandpa would watch all these old horror movies like the old Frankenstein and he wasn’t bothered (he still does through programs like Svengoolie), but to this day, Pet Cemetery is the only horror movie that actually personally scared him.
