TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Stephen King once mentioned that the only novel he wrote that really scared him was "Pet Sematary."

The role of Zelda, Rachel's terminally ill sister, was played by a man. Director Mary Lambert wanted Zelda and her scenes to frighten the audience but did not believe that a 13-year old girl was scary so she cast Andrew Hubatsek in the role to make something be "off about Zelda."

In Stephen King's novel, Judd mentions that a dog went wild in a nearby town and killed several people. This is a reference to the events of Cujo (1983), another novel by King. It is common for characters in King's novels to mention the events of his other novels.

The film was shot on location in the same rural Maine area that Stephen King set the novel "Pet Sematary."

The original screenplay featured the "wendigo" (a Native American demon) that was mentioned in the novel, but it was ultimately cut from the film. Its presence is implied only twice: first, in the scene where Louis is walking through the woods at night and hears something large knock down a tree, and second, when Judd first takes Louis up to the Indian burial ground, there is some kind of loud crash deep in the forest followed by a long, almost feminine howl. Judd says that "it's only a loon," but it is clear that he does not entirely believe it himself.

Popular Dialogues

"Jud Crandall: Sometimes, dead is better."

"[Louis returns home after burying Rachel] Jud Crandall: [narrating] The soil of a man's heart is stonier, Louis. A man grows what he can, and he tends it. Because what you buy is what you own. And what you own... always comes home to you."
