Episode Four Extra - Pet Sematary 1989/2019 w/Dr Linda Sheppard

The Constant Reader Podcast - The Canon of Stephen King

We continue our look at all things Pet Sematary with an interview with author, academic and festival organiser Dr Linda Sheppard. Wooden acting, cheesy visual FX and blundered writing aside, there's a lot to enjoy about these two films, as we find out. We look at how the shift from Gage to Ellie in the 2019 version puts a very different spin on the tale, as well as the benefits of shooting on location rather than sets.

We mention SImon Pritchard's art, which can be found here http://www.artbeat64.com/ and is well worth checking out.
