Hopefully this link won't have to change at all - it's Pet Sematary! The original 1989 movie, in anticipation of the new one coming out in April. It's an all right movie with a pretty bad lead actor but I'm really happy with this script - check out the extended fun fact regarding the make-up artists near the end! I love stuff like that.
Thanks for your support, patrons!!
I know this movie is dated, but it will forever hold a place for me as the movie that got me into scary movies. I was about 7 years old and my mom would let me watch anything I wanted as long as I understood that if it scared me, I had to deal with that on my own. She isn't super into horror, but had already let me watch The Exorcist and The Omen per her suggestion to let me see the classics, so I wanted to check this one out. Rented from our local Blockbuster (different times), I watched this movie with joy until the scene where Gage cuts Fred's achilles tendon.
I. Was. Mortified.
I jumped into and out of bed for 3 years after that, convinced something terrible was going to happen to me. And it was in those moments that I realized how amazing it was that something could affect me that much. After that, I was all in on horror and it's why I support stuff like what you do to keep that alive.
Also, while my mother isn't a huge horror nut, she absolutely loves PS2 for Clancy Brown's batshit performance and we watch it together fairly regularly.

Oooooookay, this has got to be my favorite Kill Count, by default, for a few reasons. While I loved the film as a kid, it's lost some shine for me in more recent viewings, but I still have a special place for it in my heart. This also happens to be the first video in which I've gotten a shout-out, which is sweet. Most importantly, however, is that the movie in which I received my shout-out was one that was shot on-location in THE CITY WHERE I WAS BORN. Absolutely crazy. Ellsworth, Maine was where I was born and where I still work. The Creed house is actually in Hancock, which is about five minutes north of Ellsworth. It's also the house that is just down the road from where I spent half of my honeymoon, down on beautiful Hancock Point by the ocean. I drive by that house on a weekly basis for work. Just to put some real emphasis on what I'm saying, I recall my older brother, who was then a toddler, actually tried out for the role of Gage Creed but turned out to be slightly too young for the role. Just crazy.

Like, really? You’re gonna riff on the acting in a Stephan King movie but you liked the first Unfriended? Girl.

This made my day so much better. Love when a new video goes up. I've actually never read this but I may need to check the book out now.

I just re-read the novel (literally finished it on Sunday). Man, I haven't read it in twenty years since I was 13 and it is a superb horror novel. It made me really wanna watch the movie again (also, the very bad sequel). In about five weeks there's a new blu-ray coming out. This Kill Count will make the wait less excruciating. Thank you, James!

I’ve never seen this all the way through due to how boring I found it, but I’m definitely intrigued by the new one. Love me some John Lithgow
