My parents took me to see that movie in the theater! I was probably 7 or 8.

Maybe that’s why I am this way 🧐

Ahhh seeing Zelda as a kid…I will never recover. Love the 90s details here…the pizza rolls, C&C music factory, Christina Applegate. Thanks for sharing this 📼💜

Dammit Vince. Two sentences left in this. TWO. And you just had to mention the Achilles scene. This is why we can’t have nice things.

I recently watched the 1989 Pet Sematary and it still holds up as one of the better King adaptations. The book is one of my favorites, and it took on a new appreciation after I had kids and the real horror of losing a kid can be related to.

Fred Gwynn nailed the creepy neighbor and Zelda scared the hell out of me the first time I saw it!

But nothing was like skimming the Horror section of the video store with your friends, picking a movie, then heading to the basement (great description, by the way) and reveling in fright. There were worse ways to spend a weekend night!
