Today in Horror History, Pet Sematary made its theatrical debut. The first ever film to be adapted to a screenplay by Stephen King himself, it follows a Maine family and the terror lurking in their very own back yard. Filmed in the very same location the novel is set in, Pet Semetary (1989) was inspired by an incident whilst living in Orington, Maine when King’s daughter’s cat had been killed on the highway. Standing the test of time, Church the cat and the horrors that his owners face, has become a staple of the horror genre.
“The soil of a man's heart is stonier, Louis. A man grows what he can, and he tends it. 'Cause what you buy, is what you own. And what you own... always comes home to you.” –Jud Crandall
