Jun 05, 2021
Welcome to the guild cow where we

count

the victims in all our favorite horror movies. I'm James Agee, nice and today we're watching Pet Sematary released in

1989

and based on Stephen King's 1983 novel. I read Pet Sematary last year when I heard about the upcoming remake, it's really depressing, in fact it wasn't even published until five years after King wrote it, as he was very reluctant to publish such a dark story. I loved it, but this

1989

film adaptation not so much. I would think that with mr. King, would be as good as the memorably morose source material, but instead, the film simply flounders around like the undead beings it depicts, lurching from one plot point to another until we finally reach the certainly final sequence. great where the cemetery is located. about a doctor named Lewis Creed who has just moved his family into a loving domain.

His property includes a path to a pet cemetery where the family animals have been buried by generations of grieving children. A dead pet is one of the saddest things I can think of, but as I'll hear it many times throughout this movie at some point, oh yeah, I forgot to mention that Fred Gwynne Herman, the damn monster, plays the neighbor Louis's Judd Crandall is the best part of the movie, especially the way he does Judd's thick Maine accent, which was a big part of the character. In the book, how many victims will this movie put on the ground?

More Interesting Facts About,

pet sematary 1989 kill count...

Let's find out and get to the deaths. The film begins in the titular Pet Sematary, which has to be the most depressing place you can imagine, with just a bunch of dead kittens. and good guys, no thanks, especially since this one has a kid who sings seriously. Bravo, it's getting late, don't his kids have to go home to Danny Elfman? The pet cemetery is near this house that was recently sold to the Creed family. Lewis Creed is a doctor who just got a job at the University of Maine, he's played by Dale Midkiff, who begins this role with a Bill Lumbergh impersonation, yes, his wife Rachel was played by Denise Crosby, you know, by one of those star tracks and together they have an amazing relationship. his daughter Ellie and an adorable two year old boy called gage ho and a cute gray kitten called Church, can you say Church gage, good boy, ha ha, what a happy family.

Ellie has an accident on a child's highest swing and, while her parents are tending to her, she gets scraped. Gage, the knee-up baby, gets a little too friendly with trucks on the road, in fact, this precocious shit-ass walks right into the road and might have been crushed if it weren't for Jud Crandall, the family's new neighbor. Preet, they thanked him for picking up the baby and I asked him about a lollipop they discovered on his property. Yes, that's a good story. Good ride. I'll tell you that later that night, Louis goes to Judd's house to share a beer and watch the trucks go by.

Yes, that is a main road. Then they talked about the road and how that path leads to a pet cemetery and honestly, it's almost painful to see the yawning chasm and agency here. That damn path consumes many animals, dogs and cats, especially when girls have a cat. Winston. Churchill comm Church for short, oh sorry, what were you saying about Churchill mate? I fell asleep trying to listen to you, yeah. Dale Midkiff seems like a nice enough guy, but his performance that says Lewis Creed sinks this movie for me doesn't help. who is in so many scenes alongside Fred Gwynne being the best the next day as promised Judd takes the Creed down the road to the pet cemetery Rachel immediately hates the place because she has some hang-ups about death, I mean who doesn't? but John believes that children have to learn about death somehow, oh yes, he even buried his own dog here in the cool cemetery in 1924.
Judd, but what's with that drop of the dead there or should I say drop of undead dun-dun-dun? The trip to the cemetery scares Ellie. about Church's death, so I hope this guy can convince his daughter that Church will be okay. Church will be fun. Yes, no one buys it with that sales technique. No wonder she ends up crying about it. What the hell, even if Ellie goes to sleep? with Church lying right next to her, that's the cutest thing I've ever seen Lucy, why don't you do that at bedtime so Church can be less of a wild cat?
The Creeds intend to castrate him even though Ellie is against it, apparently she learned that kind of language from Missy the Creed's housekeeper, who has every reason to curse since she has a bad case of stomach cancer. However, she rejects Louis' offer to take a look at her and he leaves for his first day of work after kissing his wife. and adorable song, bye, wow, that's a sign, honey, shame about the moose, first day on the job is a disaster since they brought this teenager named Victor Pascal into their office with half his damn head still there in Sidewalk.
He had this child. he's deader than a plate of possums. I mean, Louis even makes the movie. I close things up and look, you can see the fucking type of him Ryan shit, yeah, one hundred percent definitely a death, don't worry, I wasn't wrong. Victor just appeared from beyond the grave very quickly to tell Lulu. that the floor of a man's heart is Stonier, whatever that means and he's not done ghosting yet because later that night Lewis gets a wake-up call at midnight, we have places to go Willis, bad win, follow the ghost guy in shorts to the trail where they're setting up a really nice smoke machine and great job there Jimmy when they get to the pet cemetery Victor instructs Louis to never go further than where the dead walk, yeah, and that blue area in the back we color coded so you can see it better Lewis falls to the ground while Victor floats away with a warning, the barrier wasn't for raus and then Lewis wakes up, I bet he's thinking it was all just a dream, eh, yeah, maybe if dreams left your feet dirty, idiot, yeah.
You grab that hair and there's a slight confusion, it's finally Thanksgiving season and Lewis stays home while Rachel takes the kids to her parents' house without him because apparently her in-laws don't like him very much. . I can see why, although the first thing this guy does is What he does when he's single is dress like an Adam Sandler SNL character. He gets a call from Judd to come because his cat may have been hit by a truck. Oh man, I hope that's not the case. That would be a very emotional moment. for anyone, yes that's for sure, or I guess it's an everyday thing, in fact I'll spare you the shot of Lewis removing his dead cat from the frozen ground because no one likes to see a dead cat, least of all Elleni, who Lewis knows what it's going to be. a disaster when he finds out that Jug feels bad just thinking about how sad he'll be, so he says maybe it doesn't matter why he takes Lewis to the pet cemetery and says they're heading to the blue zone, whoa, oh, right over there.
That land, damn it, there, uh, Lewis is reluctant because of Ami's warning in his dreams, but follows John anyway because, come on, who wouldn't want to spend as much time as possible with Fred Gwynne during their long trip through the forest? They hear a great old man. terrifying growl from the monster, but the judge dismisses it as just a madman, that's all that growl is probably a nod to the Wendigo, the being who cursed these graveyards in the book. Hopefully, whoever is leaving will have a bigger role in the remake that comes out. John takes Lewis away. to what he says is a Mi'kmaq Indian cemetery and while the whole Indian cemetery concept has some problems be sure to check out our podcast on the subject with special guest joey cliff at least this place looks cool I guess it is production.
I had to do it using bulldozers on top of a mountain, so it's no wonder they invested in these sweet aerial shots. Lewis is told you have to bury yours, so while Judd sits and smokes an entire pack of cigarettes, Lewis spends the entire night digging in the rocky ground. until he can finally plant his bag of cash, don't forget to water it now, when you're done, the judge tells Lewis not to tell his wife or his daughter what they did that night, they have to keep this a secret only among the boys. there, hearts of man, the floor of the earth, noises, Stonier, whoa, that's what that dead boy said the other day, makes that like a letter or something.
Lewis calls her daughter and Dale Midkiff tries to convince us that he is trying to convince her that everything is okay. Yuck, kiss! your own cat, maybe next time we'll make that baby act a little, although wow, he's cute, no wonder baby actor Miko Hughes became the child of a new nightmare five years later, in fact, while Child characters are often played by twins. Ellie Creed, for example, is played by a couple. Director Mary Lambert insisted on casting Miko even though he didn't have one because she knew he would be the best three-year-old actor they could hope for the next day.
Church shows up and scares Lewis into a Three Stooges routine, lousy cat, why should he do it. Upon closer inspection of this adorable kitten, actor Lewis notices how bad Church smells and sees that he chewed on the bag to get out, he too discovers that new church. Lewis is happy with Judd and asks why his dead cat has come back to him, so Judd flashes back to when he was a little boy and had buried his dog alone in the dirt. Mi'kmaq lands. so that the dog would come back growling and I, the grave that Lewis saw in the usual pet cemetery was when Judd buried the place for the second time and where he fortunately he remained buried immediately.
Lewis asked the most obvious question: Has anyone ever buried a person there in a pit? Sorry Judd, I was just apologizing to everyone who apparently finds Dale Midkiff super attractive, which is a surprisingly large number of people because I skip the chubby little guy scene and get to him picking up his family at the airport. Right there on the floor, about that kind of meeting there were only 4 presidents and AG's Ellie tells Lewis that she had to dream about Church being murdered and buried in the pet cemetery, but Lewis turns his daughter on and tells her no, that shit ain't real, oh.
Yes, Lewis, they want Church to smell like garbage from his ass. Yeah, I hate jumps to a smell for kids in case you forgot this was a

kill

. Cal, let me remind you with a real Missy, the housekeeper, who can no longer bear the pain of her stomach cancer. she so she hangs herself in her basement, yeah, she came completely out of nowhere, probably because this character was written to replace Judd's wife, which is another spoonful of sadness in the book. Oh, and speaking of the book, here's the guy who wrote it, mr. Stephen, the king king, who appeared as a minister at Missy's funeral, let me have an idea for the teacher, oh yes, ma'am.
The death inspires Ellie to ask her father what she thinks happens after you die. I think we continue, yes, of course. Rachel, on the other hand, still has a hard time dealing with death and tells Louis why in a flashback story to when she was young. Her sister Zelda had spinal meningitis and was kept in the back of Rachael's house as a dirty secret. Zelda's physical deformity scares Rachel to death, and to make matters worse, Rachel was the only one home when Zelda choked to death on some of Denise's food. Crosby provides an excellent dramatic voiceover for this scene, in fact it is the best performance in the film given by anyone other than Fred Gwynne or the baby.
They'll say you hated her Rachel and that was true and I'll see that you wanted her to go. dead and that was true too, she gets a little hysterical after reliving that trauma, but Lewis knows it's nothing that can't be fixed with a little Valium and a hard push. Some time later, the Creeds and Judd are enjoying a pleasant afternoon flying a kite. to the highest moments, I love the expansive nature you see in this film, in fact, unlike other Stephen King adaptations up to this point, Pet Sematary was actually filmed in Maine at King's insistence in the small town of Ellsworth, about half an hour from Bangor, where King Unfortunately for Creed, this idyllic existence in Maine is about to be invaded by a truck headed toward his house, driven by a guy who's too busy playing the Ramones like to pay close attention to the road, so it would be great if the cribs could keep an eye on the little ones instead of being distracted by Ellie and her sailor mouth.
Unfortunately, few things are more entertaining than a toddler swearing so parents aren't watching. As he chases the kite string closer and closer to the road, John finally realizes what's happening and what follows is legitimately one of the most tense and difficult scenes to watch, especiallyafter Louis' trip and you know he's not going to make it because he doesn't get involved with Creed, the only kid who ever rivaled Andy. Barclay and his tenderness are overwhelmed by some serious shit that is intense and Garner is Dale Midkiff's most impressive performance as he screams no and becomes distraught. There's a lot about this movie that doesn't impress me, but damn, that moment is powerful.
The funeral. It's also quite painful to watch as Louis's father-in-law punches him in the face and his flight causes the coffin to fall and expose a bit of the baby's dead arm, buddy, I'm holding on, that penis just hit me at home, it's Ellie complains. that God should bring Gage back. Jug tells him it doesn't work that way, but he already knows what Louis must be thinking. You know it simply by logic. It's not like he can read anything in Louis' blank space. We are sure not. the one who died and came back, yes, Lewis is already considering another visit to the mcmac cemetery even though the last time he did it didn't turn out so great, that cat is not Ron Jud moves his finger and Lewis for even entertaining the idea and admits that he lied when he said that no one had buried a person up there before another flashback, this time telling the story of Timmy Bannerman, who was murdered on his way home from WWE father Bill Bannerman burying his Purple Heart winning son on the Mi'kmaq lands and before youI know Timmy was up and eating legs and making a real Romero with all the ladies in town and he came looking for you, main girl, because Timmy was a red face and a abomination.
Judd and his friends ended up going to Bannerman's house to be a real group of Al Furman burned down the building in an attempt to

kill

the zombie, but since Timmy still hadn't finished hugging his father, Bill ended up dying in the fire. of the house too. I'm

count

ing Bill, but not Timmy, since I never met the human Timmy before he died off-screen, so his murder didn't really happen in this movie, it did and as far as Undead Timmy goes, I'm not going to count zombies at all because, in any case, that is a dangerous precedent. a lot of problems were caused by bringing back the dead, sometimes yes, you could say that again, Judd, sometimes that's better.
I didn't mean literally, but sometimes it's okay, we have a guy. Rachael decides to take Ellie to her parents' house in Chicago while Lois stays behind to tie up loose ends regarding gays. However, Ellie doesn't want to leave her father alone because she has been receiving warnings in dreams from someone about the tax limit. Cow. How's that for Penny Arcade's new bovine mascot? It's a really sad moment for Lewis as he watches his family get on the plane, right, that's sadness, yeah, maybe zoom in real close and see if we can find some emotion there, something, still, nothing, don't forget it in Chicago.
Ellie keeps getting dream visits from Pasco telling her that Lewis is going to do something bad, he relays the warning of his zombie dream to Rachel through a bunch of snotty tears, but Rachel just can't understand what the hell the scowl means, she laughs. Pascal, was Pascal saying haha, his phone, a friend's lifeline was a dead guy? That's ironic, don't you think? Recognizing Pascal's name, she tries to call Luis and when she cannot reach him, her mother tries to calm her scruples. Yeah, you know how guys are when the wife's away, it's time to eat meat.
She calls Judd. she interrupting their reunion dinner and asked her to keep an eye on Luis, which she accepts. Hey, it's not like it's a hard task for the guy, it just means relocating his beer drinking and his cigarette smoking to the front porch during all this Luis has broken up. he enters the cemetery and has already dug up Gage's coffin after cradling the corpse for ammo, he heads home to bury the kids who slipped away from work easily since the old man ended up sleeping on the job, oh yeah, Luis carries Gage over the deadfall and enters. the blues Oh, he's very active tonight with sounds of roaring and manic laughter, what's that damn Arkham place?
It also has a lot of fog and falling trees, so maybe don't go camping in the Blue Zone. Hey, do you know what we do? Keep hearing all these evil roars, could we maybe take a look at the beans that make them? Oh shit, it doesn't matter, buddy, they can still be just noises, Bobby, meanwhile, Rachael's been having nightmares about his sister Zelda and starring in her own sitcom called my. friend the ghost because suddenly VĂ­ctor Paz's cow is a comic relief spirit, man. I'm already sick of these damn ghosts on this damn plane. Victor's comedy is shit throughout this entire third act as he delays closing a gate for Rachel's transfer flight and even helps her rent a car, what the fuck will I say, however, his makeup is very good and I even have Fun fact about that.
You see, the makeup effects in this movie were done primarily by two people, Lance Anderson, who had worked on Stan Winston. Studios and helped with the effects and his son David Leroy Anderson, who would win Academy Awards alongside Rick Baker for doing makeup effects on Men in Black and the Nutty Professor David also designed most of the monsters and the cabin in the woods. . and some notable television horror creations such as Twisty, the clown from American Horror Story and the red devil from Scream Queens. I'm not done with this fun fact yet because Lance and David founded the makeup and design company, an FX studio that he now runs.
Just wait for it, David and his wife Heather Langenkamp Anderson, aka Nancy from A Nightmare on Elm Street, he, all of you, Nancy Thompson helped create all those nightmare monsters and a cabin in the woods, so it's kind of crazy that Miko Hughes will end up here. playing Heather Sun in new nightmares because she would have married David right after he did all the makeup in this movie poor guy is the goddamn godfather okay let's get back to this movie as opposed to passing on the cows benevolent spiritual guide is the The very graveyard whose powers caused Rachael to get a flat tire on her way home is trying to stop you, do you hear me? is trying to stop you yeah the graveyard has its own powers or maybe it's the curse of the Wendigos I don't know man it's a Stephen King story keep going magical realism rachel gets out of this jam by hitchhiking in the same kind of truck that killed her baby, you sure don't want to wait for the next trip, Lady Lewis measures the berries on the Mi'kmaq grounds and returns home where he Collapses into bed without even taking off his dirty shoes.
His little plants sprout immediately and he walks home with his muddy shoes. Her trusty zombie calf, but aside from her, Paige goes into her father's medical kit and pulls out a scalpel, a perfect weapon. for him, since it is like a butcher knife, but the baby sighs. John wakes up from his beer nap and follows some muddy baby footprints to his house, where he is tormented by baby giggles and threats from toddlers. The jug goes upstairs and, while Church distracts him, the accomplice cat Gage arrives. he comes out from under the bed and cuts the Achilles tendon akimbo.
Oh damn that's some hostile shit, suddenly this movie gets super gory when angry baby Gage comes down on John with a scalpel and rips his mouth open. He says hello, and then follows the old man. Collapses to the floor Gage sinks his baby teeth into the neck of the jug and turns a little blushing Ripping out the judge's throat to seal the deal on this twisted slaughter That zombie baby is ruthless Yes, Rachel comes home and luckily Pascal He says he doesn't have permission to go anywhere. Also, he stays in the truck and disappears. Goodbye, we won't miss you, friend, instead of going home.
Rachel is lured to Judd's house by Gages. Baby giggles, but once she's inside, it's a different noise she hears Zelda moan, whom she finds crouched down. the corner of a room threatens to twist Rachel's back and leave her paralyzed, don't worry, Rachel Zelda isn't actually there, it's just haha, oh stop getting involved, who dressed this kid like a thrift store ? The Mad Hatter is actually dressed as a portrait of Rachel and her family. At home I assume that the evil spirit did that to better emotionally manipulate the poor woman. Oh, and look, the portraits have a little cabinet that looks like a church.
That is cute. Gage says he has a gift for Mom and approaches her at top cobbler speed and because we hear a stab. and Rachel shout: I'm going to tell her right now murdered by her own little undead son. Lewis wakes up in a mess the next morning. Wow, how did he not gouge out his eye and grab the evidence that Gage had come back and ransacked Lewis' house? bad man, he gets a call from his undead son and honestly, it's super disturbing. Louis heads wide-eyed and angry to Judds' house, where he gains the trust of the church with the state only to grab this poor acting cat by the throat and by the stick. in the butt with a little poison, huh, oh man, this cat actor's death makes me feel bad and Louis' taunts are doing nothing to help me lie down and play dead with a neat zombie.
Louis heads to the house, which is all a Suddenly covered in mold for some reason, it's pretty fucking fucked up for you, but if you think this is random and crazy, just wait for Pet Sematary. You haven't seen anything yet. The mold spell only ends after Lewis picks up Rachel, Cinderella, and the house. Back to normal, Louis prepares to make his son sick, goes upstairs and finds Judd with the really fucked up face of a real man when this movie gets so hard and then walks into the hallway where he freaks out at the hanging body of his wife, how? a baby gets a grown woman in the attic like that oh maybe because now it's scary baby doll oh the doll fell down and now he's turned back to human again to doll back to human scary doll that's funny gauge cuts and stabs that Lewis with the scalpel before his father manages to throw him to the ground because like you know he's still a baby when gage goes to get him again Lewis just grabs the kid and hits him in the neck with his goodnight juice ah, poor gay , Oh my God.
God, look at those big teary eyes, that kid is the cutest little killer. I bet that kid just hit his head. Gage dies once again and Louis takes a metal can of gasoline to all of Jud's house, lights it and burns it. even the doll he once called his son for this house fire, they actually built a two-story facade on top of a real house that they fireproofed and then they just burned the shell, very good, Louis doesn't abandon the body of his wife. burn and not even Victor and his fingertip shorts can convince the grieving widower to stop his crazy plan to walk among ghosts or bury his wife in Mi'kmaq grounds, what do you have to say about That's Victor, what a shame, Louis? he takes Rachel down the road and buries her off screen and that night she comes out of her grave while Fred Gwynne Mary is a nice little summary poem Rose what she can and the tension she does what you buy what you owe her Rachel arrives home all bloody and dirty, but Lewis doesn't care, he got brave with that, no buddy, look at the pot, the movie ends with Rachel grabbing a knife and killing Lewis with it, although we can't see it since the movie cuts to black before it happens, but it screams, so I think it's safe to count how many people were better off dead.
Let's take Lucy and figure out the numbers. Up to eight people died in Pet Sematary, not including cats, zombies, or zombie cats. The victims included three women, four adult men and a baby, but you know, there's not an extra bit for that, with the 103-minute running time leaving us with one death on average every twelve point eight eight minutes. I will receive the golden chainsaw for being clueless. kill to judge obviously the effects here are just more exceptional work from the great Anderson family to marry Heather, you're in the wrong business if you don't love Bill Dahl.
The machete for the dumbest murder will go to Missy, who just couldn't hang up. There with the stomach crabs and that's it. Pet Sematary came out in 1989 and there is a remake reinterpretation of the book coming out in just a few weeks, on April 5th. There's also a massive, crazy sequel starring Clancy Brown that we'll see. next week, but until then I'm James, a JD, this has been the death count. Thank you very much for seeing this death count. I want to thank some sponsors like Judge Maddox Wilberg, Gabe the Shield, Avante Parchman and Joe Croft.
I also want to thank Lucy for being the best kitty. Thanks Lucy, I definitely also want to thank my assistant editors Brie and Zoran for all the work they do, and Clara who does my graphics on my YouTube network in May and then sent me this custom gold chainsaw trophy for reaching 2 . million subscribers seriously Kevin keith amelia brad michael everyone there thank you very much and everyone else be good people
