In this episode, hosts Katherine Troyer and Anthony Tresca discuss the 2019 film Pet Sematary.
Episode Highlights: Katherine discusses the importance of the home in American horror, Anthony compares the film's three acts to a less-than-appetizing sandwich, and we talk about the dangers of trying to create a film based on a checklist of "good" horror.
A Dose of Scholarship: For some lovely scholarship on the role of the home in horror, we suggest looking at Cynthia J. Miller and A. Bowdoin Van Riper's edited collection Horror Comes Home. For a nice tour of the "house in horror movies," check out Cleaver Patterson's Don't Go Upstairs!.
