Looks like we’re set for a spooky Halloween as the trailer, below, arrives for the prequel to Pet Sematary (2019), called Pet Sematary: Bloodlines, the movie takes the spooky action back to 1969.
However, just before you click away, the movie stars David Duchovny as Jud Crandall, played by John Lithgow in the 2019 movie – interestingly, Jud was played by Herman Munster himself, Fred Gwynne in the 1989 [far superior] movie.
Honestly, if not for Duchovny, I likely wouldn’t be terribly interested in this, despite being a life-long King fan, but this certainly has piqued my interest now, I have to say.
Edgar Wright to co-write and direct Stephen King’s The Running Man

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
