80's Movie Weekend

As we get closer to Halloween, The Excellent 80's brings you a horror classic from 1989 by the master of horror literature - Stephen King. His books were generally too scary for me, but I read some of them anyway. The movies normally didn't do the books justice, but they got close, and they generated some income. From 1989, here is the spooky "Pet Sematary"... the trailer... Pet Sematary Theatrical release poster Directed by Mary Lambert Produced by Richard P.
