The Kill Counter: Stephen King’s Pet Sematary (Video)

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Ever wondered how many people lose their lives in any particular movie, be it action, horror, sci-fi, or even comedy? Well, we've got you covered with THE KILL COUNTER, our hit new series takes out all of the guesswork and counts out each and every death on (and sometimes off) screen.

Break out your calculator and try to keep up!

This weekend we will be hit with Kevin Kolsch and Dennis Widmyer's remake of Stephen King's PET SEMATARY starring Jason Clarke as Louis Creed and John Lithgow as Jud Crandall. And so we figured what better film to take on this week than Mary Lambert's original PET SEMATARY starring Dale Midkiff as Louis Creed, Denise Crosby as Rachel Creed, Brad Greenquist as Victor Pascow, and Fred Gwynne as Jud Crandall.

Doctor Louis Creed (Dale Midkiff) moves his family to Maine, where he meets a friendly local named Jud Crandall (Fred Gwynne). After the Creeds' cat is accidentally killed, Crandall advises Louis to bury it in the ground near the old pet cemetery. The cat returns to life, its personality changed for the worse. When Louis' son, Gage (Miko Hughes), dies tragically, Louis decides to bury the boy's body in the same ground despite the warnings of Crandall and Louis' visions of a deceased patient.
