Pet Sematary (sometimes referred to as Stephen King's Pet Sematary) is a 1989 horror filmadaptation of the Stephen King novel of the same name. Directed by Mary Lambert, the film starsDale Midkiff as Louis Creed, Denise Crosby as Rachel Creed, Blaze Berdahl as Ellie Creed, Miko Hughes as Gage Creed, and Fred Gwynne as Jud Crandall. A man, Andrew Hubatsek, was chosen for Zelda's role. Stephen King wrote the screenplay himself, having become frustrated with how his novels were represented in film adaptations, and appears briefly in the film as a minister at a funeral.
Pet Sematary was filmed in King's home state of Maine, utilizing locations such as Mount Hope Cemetery (Bangor) and Ellsworth. There was also a sequel, Pet Sematary 2, which met with less financial and critical success. IMDB states a remake will be released in 2010.
