Halloweentober Day 15: Pet Semetary

Here is both the original Church and Zowie from the 1990's films "Pet Semetery" by Stephen King! especially in the films ^^!

I think sometimes we need to remember a books context

[libraryspectre]

Reading Stephen King will have you googling minor characters from his other books to see if he's doing the crossover thing

[luxshine]

Of all Stephen King books, Pet sematary is probably the hardest one to read -or worse, reread- , not gonna lie. But in my trip in all #kingbooksanalysis, I had to get there and see what it says about the very unhealthy ways we have to deal with grief and how they affect us and those around us, and the reason why we follow them instead of the healthy ones.

Also, please, please, please remember to keep your cats INDOORS. I know it sounds weird, but the best way to keep our furry friends safe is by insuring they have a great life away from danger -and the local wildlife, which is also kept safe by this. If you have a yard, consider building a catio, so that your kitties have fresh air, a bit of extra room to roam, but stay away from cars, trucks, other cats, and general unpleasantries.

An Indoor cat is a happy cat, and pretty much all the horrors of this book wouldn't have happened if the Creeds remembered that.

What are your Top 5 favorite books?

Our utmost favorite books tends to shift around depending upon the wind, but as of this moment, in no particular order:

Wurthering Heights, by Emily Brontë.

Homo Deus, by Yuval Harari.

Les Fleur Du Mal, by Charles Baudelaire.

Do Androids dream of Electric Sheep, by Philip K. Dick.

The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness, by Michelle Alexander.

Not technically a book but honorable mention to The Last Days of Judas Iscariot, by Stephen Adly Guirgis.

The book in question was Gone.

Michael Grant (the author) liked the tweets.

saw this thread and really loved it but what i liked most is that it taught this kid that if a book isn’t for you, even if you really want to like it, it’s okay to stop reading it and come back to it another time when you are ready. there were so many books i slogged through as a kid because i felt like i had to prove that i could read them since i *loved* reading so i simply had to finish this book or i didn’t actually love to read. silly, really. the more kids who don’t ascribe to that thinking the better. really great of both the dad and the librarian for allowing the kid access to the stephen king book and allowing him make the decision on whether or not it was for him by himself.

Needful Things is my favorite Stephen King novel. I think it really perfected the “small town full of animosity towards each other driven insane by supernatural entity”.

The movie cut a lot of the tension and was just a tv movie with a tv budget it seems. Leland Gaunt was well cast though despite its flaws

The best movie adaptation is Misery. I like the book a lot, it’s definitely the most realistic and down to earth of King’s horror novels (despite popular belief, they are not all horror) but the movie just perfected the story and characters in my opinion.

Fairy Tale by Stephen King #2022Release #Fantasy #BookReview #AudiobookReview

I picked up a Stephen King book for the first time in about 20 years. The premise for the book compelled me to give it a listen. #FairyTale #2022Books #StephenKing #MasterofSuspense #BookReview #AudiobookReview #FantasyBook #September2022Books

Charlie Reade looks like a regular high school kid, great at baseball and football, a decent student. But he carries a heavy load. His mom was killed in a hit-and-run accident when he was ten, and grief drove his dad to drink. Charlie learned how to take care of himself—and his dad. Then, when Charlie is seventeen, he meets Howard Bowditch, a recluse with a big dog in a big house at the top of a…

There's a new DBD villian out so here are your periodical reminders because im already seeing people refer to the new enemy as both "wend!g0es" & "sk*nwalker" & getting them mixed up:

The DBD team has already said that the new enemy wouldnt have anything to do with Native American mythology

Wend!g0es & sk*walkers are from Native American mythology, they are NOT "cryptids" (Algonquian & Navajo respectively)

Therefore, the new enemy is neither of those things

The whole "monster that mimics human speech & humans calling for help" thing was completely made up about ice cannibals by Stephen King in Pet Semetary iirc. This is not an original or even popular part of the "lore" or definitions of ice cannibals. Ice cannibals don't and cannot speak, let alone mimic human speech.

A sk*walker is NOT a "monster that wears human skin", or an animal wearing human skin, or a monster that looks like a "weird looking" animal, it is a human who utilizes ANIMAL SKINS, and as far as I know, they also don't do the "mimicking humans to lure them in" thing, they don't have to because they can already talk and are human.

These two beings from our cultures are not the same thing and have been heavily appropriated & bastardized & amalgamated by both the media & by moniyaws online.

Leave our spirits alone and stop calling the new DBD enemy these things because it's not anything close to what these spirits actually are.

greetings, this is linnie's (@wellgoslowly) emo metalhead roommate aaron (resident george karim kinnie) here to drop some random lockwood&co headcanons that will likely only make sense to a niche audience. thank you and enjoy.

projection central here.

Lockwood

Barbie vs Oppenheimer: Barbie

A James Hetfield kinnie 100%

His favorite Sleep Token TMBTE song would def be The Apparition but he cries himself to sleep listening to Rain and thinking about Lucy

His favorite Ghost song from each album are Con Clavi Con Dio, Idolatrine, From the Pinnacle to the Pit, Dance Macabre, and Spillways. His favorite ghoul is Mountain and his favorite ghoulette is Aurora

Cried so hard he threw up when "So Much For Stardust" came out (average Fall Out Boy enjoyer)

AGGRESSIVE Metallica defender

Lucy

Barbie vs Oppenheimer: Oppenheimer

The definition of a Rob Trujillo kinnie

Her favorite Sleep Token TMBTE song is Rain for sure. She cries listening to Euclid. Vore is on her sleep playlist

Her favorite Ghost song from each album are Stand By Him, Per Aspera Ad Inferi, Cirice, Life Eternal, and Respite on the Spitalfields. Her favorite ghoul is Swiss and her favorite ghoulette is Cirrus

Recovering My Chemical Romance listener (still listens to them regularly)

Unironic Rob Zombie enjoyer

George

Barbie vs Oppenheimer: Insidious

Kirk Hammett kinnie. I mean look at him

His favorite Sleep Token TMBTE song is Take Me Back to Eden. Maybe a basic answer but it goes hard so he gets a pass

His favorite Ghost song from each album are Ritual, Jigolo Har Megiddo, Deus In Absentia, Witch Image, and Griftwood. His favorite ghoul is Sodo/Dewdrop and his favorite ghoulette is Cumulus

His favorite metal (as an umbrella term) bands are Ghost, Ice Nine Kills, Avatar, Metallica, Slipknot, Lorna Shore, Sleep Token, Avenged Sevenfold, Kiss, Judas Priest, and Type O Negative (because he thinks Peter Steele is hot)

Pretends to be a Megadeth/Dave Mustaine defender to piss off Lockwood (he likes both of them equally and thinks the feud is stupid)

Stephen King is his guilty pleasure - he loves Pet Semetary but cries each time he reads/watches it

please let me know if there's an audience for this lolol

One thing I love about Stephen King’s writing is he often gives the “jump” first and then fills you in. He’s told you what’s going to happen, but you have to know how.

I’m taking a second stab at Pet Semetary (spoilers for the first few chapters ahead) and the scariest things that happen are all put up front matter-of-faculty before there’s backtracking to fill the reader in:

“The nightmare really began when they brought the dying boy, Victor Pascow, into the infirmary around ten that morning.”

“It was around one o’clock that afternoon when Church came back like that cat in the nursery rhyme.”

These are two of the most dramatic moments of the exposition, and they’re placed right at the top of a section to make you excited instead of snuck in at the end of a section as a cliffhanger. I love it.
