Horror Movie Podcast Ep. 172: Pet Sematary (1989) vs. Pet Sematary (2019) with Screenwriter Matt Greenberg
Hug your daughter, we’re back from the place where the dead walk to try again, praying things go better this time. We’re putting the paws of one of Joel’s all time favorite films to the fire in Episode 172 of HORROR MOVIE PODCAST to test the theory that the soil in a man’s heart is stonier, hoping we won’t have to bury our own when a battle to the death erupts, because we’re all so Dead Serious About Horror Movies. During this loaded VERSUS episode of Horror Movie Podcast, Wolfman Josh, Dr. Shock and Gillman Joel bring you in-depth reviews of Pet Sematary (1989) versus Pet Sematary (2019). If you haven’t soured on us by then, we’ll also bring you a Collector’s Crypt review of the new—Mary Lambert approved—Pet Sematary 4K BluRay. And we’re extremely lucky to be joined by a very special guest for this episode, one of the writers of the new Pet Sematary, friend of the show Matt Greenberg (1408, Halloween H20)!
