Generally speaking, societies across the world agree that our beloved dead ideally belong in a certain, final resting place, and that place is out of sight. The idea of people who are dead--or who should be dead--remaining among us is a consistent source of horror. In this episode I talk about our fear of dead bodies that aren't at rest, either because they never were buried or, in the case of Timothy Baterman, from Pet Sematary, because they returned to us.
