"Sometimes dead is better."
Classic Monsters of the Movies scribes, Nige Burton and Jamie Jones, along with special-guest contributor, actor Brad (Lost Souls) Greenquist, tackle a "latter day," horror classic, based on a Stephen King bestseller.
As such, Pet Sematary 1989, directed by Mary (The Attic/Urban Legends: Bloody Mary) Lambert and adapted by King, no less, gains a prolific, encyclopedic analysis, which celebrates the fable's "Monkey's Paw" creepiness.
That means the authors supply a plethora of production details, including bios on its apt cast: Dale (Flight of the Living Dead/2012: Doomsday) Midkiff as Louis Creed, Denise (Star Trek: The Next Generation/Walking Dead) Crosby as Rachel Creed, Fred (The Munsters/My Cousin Vinnie) Gwynne as Jud Crandall, the aforementioned Greenquist as the ominous Pascow, Andrew Hubatsek as the withering Zelda, Michael Lombard as the change-of-heart Irwin Goldman, Blaze and Beau Burdhal as Ellie and Miko Hughes as Gage, the relentless, zombie child, among other skilled performers.
The talented Lambert gets respectful exposure, as well, in addition to producer Richard Rubinstein (known for helming so many outstanding, George A. Romero's entries), cinematographer Pete (Graveyard Shift/Friday the 13th Part 2) Stein and composer Eliot (Batman Forever/Batman & Robin/Interview with the Vampire 1994) Goldenthal and then of course, there's the incomparable and bellicose King.
This "Exclusive Deluxe Collector's Edition" brims with rare photos, inside-scoop trivia and unforgettable quotes, printed on top-stock paper, initiated by artist Peter Panayis' awesome, high-gloss, character-collage cover.
Classic Monsters of the Movies: Pet Sematary's special edition is one to cherish, even as it chills the soul. One may unearth it at
