They filmed on the State Street side of Cemetery Hill.
Kristin LopesHOST
After one shot, they waited until 2 in the morning for the moonlight to fall just right, as the grieving Father Louis Creed dug up the body of his young son.
Kristin LopesHOST
The film was released in April of 1989.
Kristin LopesHOST
Local tour guides also tell another story.
JohnGUEST
At that point, I'm 20, 20, 21 years old, not married, you know, not even through college at that point.
JohnGUEST
uh and i enjoyed it uh up to a point and then in chapter 35 put my glasses on it starts off Lewis Creed came to believe that the last really happy day of his life was March 24th 1984 and at that point I had put to put that book down and walk away because that was a year so before I I had actually started reading this book and that was a day that I I had been in a car accident with my best friend and he was killed.
JohnGUEST
And that made my blood run cold reading that.
JohnGUEST
I actually probably stepped away from that book for a week or two before I could go back and continue reading it.
19 MINS LATER
JoshHOST
And honestly, I think it's the first horror book that I've ever read.
JoshHOST
and i was surprised by how gripped i was and how interested i was in the story um and in this type of genre and part of the thing that like really gripped me is kind of what you're talking about john like you could see where the story was going but like you just like don't want it to go there But you can see that that is the inevitable.
JoshHOST
You can see those wheels turning that this is what Lewis is going to do.
JoshHOST
And yeah, I thought it was just really good storytelling.
AaronHOST
go.
AaronHOST
Lewis Creed moves his wife, Rachel, and their kids, Ellie and Gage, in a cat church to a house in Ludlow, Maine.
AaronHOST
Their elderly neighbor, Judd Crandall, warns Lewis about speeding trucks on the road that runs past their house.
AaronHOST
Judd takes the family on a walk in the woods behind their home down a path that leads to a pet cemetery.
AaronHOST
Later, their cat, Church, is run over on the highway while Lewis' family is out of town.
AaronHOST
Judd leads Lewis beyond the pet cemetery to an ancient burial ground once used by the Mi'kmaq Indians.
AaronHOST
Lewis buries the cat, and the next afternoon, Church returns home.
AaronHOST
But he's different, and he smells like the grave.
MikeHOST
It is, of course, 1989's Pet Sematary, directed by Mary Lambert.
MikeHOST
After a tragic accident, Lewis Creed learns that sometimes dead is better.
MikeHOST
Much like J.K. Simmons in Glorious, I think Pet Sematary works thanks in very large part to Fred Gwynn's portrayal of Judd Crandall.
MikeHOST
If you don't believe me, watch the remake.
speaker_1HOST
It's not the same animal that went into the ground.
speaker_0HOST
So this is where Lewis makes his first catastrophic decision.
speaker_1HOST
But it's a completely human decision, driven by a desire to spare his young daughter Ellie the agony of losing her cat.
speaker_0HOST
Right.
speaker_0HOST
They give the toddler a respectful burial.
speaker_1HOST
At a normal cemetery in Bangor.
speaker_0HOST
But the seeds of the supernatural have already been planted in Lewis's mind.
speaker_1HOST
He knows fundamentally that there is a mechanism to undo this.
JoeHOST
Legend of Timmy Baterman is literally just a section from Pet Sematary.
JoeHOST
It's the story Jud tells to Louis about the, um-
VivianHOST
You might say it is the untold chapter.
JoeHOST
Yeah.
JoeHOST
It's 'cause it's relevant for the adaptations.
JoeHOST
It's relevant for last week as well.
JoeHOST
It's the story Jud tells Louis-
GarenHOST
Ah
VanessaHOST
Ooh.
MattHOST
Jack Torrance, Paul Sheldon, Bill Denbrough, or Louis Creed?
VanessaHOST
Paul Sheldon.
MattHOST
Yeah, I was gonna say-
speaker_1HOST
We all know the setup for this one.
speaker_1HOST
Set in Maine, obviously, Dr. Louis Creed moves his family there.
speaker_1HOST
Their cat gets run over on the deadly highway out front.
speaker_2HOST
Right.
speaker_1HOST
The creepy neighbor, Jud Crandall, instructs Louis to bury the cat in a special secret cemetery deep in the woods.
speaker_1HOST
So Louis does it, and the cat comes back, but it's, it's wrong.
speaker_2HOST
Yeah, it's sluggish.
speaker_2HOST
It smells of the earth, and it carries this sinister, malicious aura.
speaker_2HOST
The setup is deceptively simple.
speaker_2HOST
We follow Dr. Louis Creed, his wife Rachel, and their two young children.
speaker_3HOST
The perfect family.
speaker_2HOST
They move to this idyllic rural home in Maine.
speaker_2HOST
They aren't the same.
speaker_3HOST
No, they are not what they used to be.
speaker_2HOST
I was trying to put myself in Louis Creed's shoes to understand the psychology of this book.
speaker_3HOST
It's a tough head space to be in.
SlavaHOST
Yeah, well, I'll give the full spoiler-free summary here, but a lot of it happens in part one, so here we go.
SlavaHOST
Dr. Louis Creed moves his wife Rachel and their two young children to Ludlow, Maine, where their new and idyllic rural home seems perfect.
SlavaHOST
The family quickly befriends their elderly neighbor, Jud Crandall, who introduces them to a pet sematary, spelled S-E-M-A-T-R-A-Y, in the woods behind their house.
SlavaHOST
It's a makeshift graveyard where local children have buried their deceased pets for generations.
