In this episode of the show our Stephen Kingtober concludes officially with a discussion about the 1989 Pet Sematary. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about how Pet Sematary was a book that King refused to publish and a movie that many studios refused to finance. We talk about the personal angle in the story struggling to make its way into the film, Stephen King as a brand and how the movie captures the scenery of rural Maine. We also discuss the ins and outs of casting very young children in horror movies, taking narrative shortcuts for no other reason than to save film stock and how a potentially great story can be undermined by wooden acting.
