What could possibly be scary about a pet cemetery? Stephen King answers that question in spades with one of his scariest stories. He tells the tale of a family that moves into a small town in Maine and strange things start happening from day one. The two children are hurt in accidents and, soon after, the family cat is run over outside their new home. The cat is buried in the “pet sematary” in nearby woods where the town kids bury their dead animals. Now the paranormal story begins and soon all hell breaks loose.
