Cat in graveyard in Pet Sematary
The Big Picture Pet Sematary turns 35 years old today. Though it received a lukewarm reception from critics upon its release in 1989, it was a box office hit, grossing $57.5 million against an $11.5 million budget. It has since become a horror classic and, in typical horror fashion, spurred a franchise that includes a 1992 sequel, a 2019 remake, and a 2023 prequel to the remake.
Release Date April 21, 1989 Director Mary Lambert Cast Dale Midkiff , Denise Crosby , Fred Gwynne , Brad Greenquist , Miko Hughes Runtime 103 Minutes Writers Stephen King A Writers Strike Helped Put 'Pet Sematary' Into Production Let’s face it — nobody wants a writers’ strike. We learned that firsthand just last summer when we went through a long and brutal one.
Though encouraged to shoot the movie somewhere cheaper, King, who is very involved in his community of Bangor, Maine, stipulated that it had to be filmed in the state. As a result, Maine became something of a character in the film, both due to its gorgeous scenery and its people. The movie put out an enormous casting call, with over 500 locals appearing as background characters or in small supporting roles, like Young Jud and Young Rachel .
'Pet Sematary' Has a Female Director — And a Male Zelda Female directors are still, unfortunately, underrepresented today, and the gap was even more egregious three and a half decades ago — especially in a genre like horror. Lambert no doubt blazed a trail and opened doors. Lambert’s background was an interesting one, as she began in the visual arts. Because of that, she brought painting and poetry references to her work.
