‘Pet Sematary’ Remake Gets 2019 Release Date

Published

Pet Sematary - Church

2017 has been a great year for Stephen King adaptations, thanks to films like the enormously successful box office hit IT and the critically acclaimed Netflix effort Gerald’s Game. The Mr. Mercedes TV show has also been mostly well-received.

2018 looks to be fairly quiet as far as screen adaptations of King’s work go, although Hulu is set to debut their new drama Castle Rock next year, which takes place within the established King multiverse. Starring in that series are King vets like Carrie’s Sissy Spacek, Silver Bullet’s Terry O’Quinn, and IT’s Bill Skarsgard.

2019 is likely to be the next big year for King adaptations though, with the highly anticipated sequel IT: Chapter 2 set to arrive in theaters on September 6th. Now, Variety reports that also hitting theaters in 2019 is Paramount’s remake of Pet Sematary, which will shamble its way into multiplexes on April 19th.

Directing the remake are Kevin Kolsch and Dennis Widmyer, the duo behind 2014 indie horror darling Starry Eyes. Details beyond that are still scarce, so it’s unclear just how much this new film will serve as a remake of Mary Lambert’s 1989 original, and how much it will instead go back and re-adapt King’s book.

For what it’s worth, King himself wrote the script for Lambert’s Pet Sematary adaptation, so it’s unlikely that new writing duo Jeff Buhler and David Kajganich will be able to get any closer to the novel than King did. Perhaps they’ll instead seek to change things up a bit by throwing some narrative curveballs at fans.

Personally, I’ll be satisfied as a King devotee as long as this Pet Sematary is rated R, and doesn’t shy away from realizing the more terrifying parts of the horror master’s harrowing story of unfortunate death and tainted rebirth.

Watch ‘The Burning’ At The Location Where It Was Filmed

Published

on

Fangoria is reporting that fans of the 1981 slasher The Burning will be able to have a screening of the film at the location where it was filmed. The movie is set at Camp Blackfoot which is actually the Stonehaven Nature Preserve in Ransomville, New York.

This ticketed event will take place on August 3. Guests will be able to take a tour of the grounds as well as enjoy some campfire snacks along with the screening of The Burning.

The Burning

The film came out in the early ’80s when teen slashers were being churned out in magnum force. Thanks to Sean S. Cunningham’s Friday the 13th, filmmakers wanted to get in on the low-budget, high-profit movie market and a casket load of these types of films were produced, some better than others.

The Burning is one of the good ones, mostly because of the special effects from Tom Savini who had just come off of his groundbreaking work on Dawn of the Dead and Friday the 13th. He declined to do the sequel because of its illogical premise and instead signed on to do this movie. Also, a young Jason Alexander who would later go on to play George in Seinfeld is a featured player.

Because of its practical gore, The Burning had to be heavily edited before it received an R-rating. The MPAA was under the thumb of protest groups and political bigwigs to censor violent films at the time because slashers were just so graphic and detailed in their gore.

Tickets are $50, and if you want a special t-shirt, that will cost you another $25, You can get all the information by visiting the On Set Cinema webpage.
