Venture among the horrors beyond the deadfall with the signed hardback Pet Sematary 1989 Ultimate Guide. This signed full colour movie hardback leads you through the mysteries and terrors of the modern classic horror movie which turned Stephen King’s harrowing novel into a late eighties icon of cinema. Under the care of director Mary Lambert, a gifted cast brought the tragic story of the Creed family to life, and then back to life once again; this signed Pet Sematary hardcover guide is an ideal way to rediscover one of the unsung heroes of the movie macabre. With the commitment to excellence that characterises the Ultimate Guide range, and behind-the-scenes reminiscences from star Brad Greenquist, it’s a journey into a very special kind of darkness, and a perfect addition to your horror movie hardback collection.
Tapping into one of the most basic fears of any family and then ramping things up beyond all imagining, 1989’s Pet Sematary quickly became a cult favourite with fans around the world, its unforgettable imagery and moments of all-out horror leaving an indelible mark on audiences thanks to performances from the likes of Fred Gwynne and Dale Midkiff, Denise Crosby and Miko Hughes, with Brad Greenquist as Victor Pascow, the most frightening guardian angel in history. Our signed Pet Sematary film guide hardback is a beautifully presented resource, providing a range of richly informative articles that explore the movie’s origins in King’s story, before following its twisting path to the screen and the powerful results.
Whether you’re new to this movie’s eerie world, or have already experienced its eldritch charms, the signed hardback Pet Sematary Ultimate Guide has so much to offer, and you won’t need to walk through Little God Swamp to find it all. Fans already know its heady mix of psychological terror and ghost story, with sinister notes of folk horror; newcomers have a treat in store for them, as this movie has plenty of nods to classic horror cinema too.
The first thing you’ll notice is the high production values: like all the hardback Ultimate Guides in the Classic Monsters collection, this signed casebound Pet Sematary guide is printed and finished to the highest standard at A4 size (210mm x 297mm) with an oversize image wrap cover featuring scuff-resistant lamination to ensure it stays pristine. The cover has Peter Panayis’ breathtaking artwork, which perfectly evokes the movie’s aura of ancient and unknowable terror; the inner pages, meanwhile, are printed on fine silk stock with a clean design that takes inspiration from the movie whilst remaining crisp and timeless, making for a reading experience that’s easy on the eyes.
And then there are the stills. This is a movie renowned for its wealth of striking images, and the signed Pet Sematary hardback Ultimate Guide is packed with beautifully restored stills that take you right back to the quiet community of Ludlow and those vast haunted forests around it. Each still is carefully restored to look its absolute best, making this signed Pet Sematary hardcover film guide a feast for the eyes as you join us in celebrating the movie. Our use of full colour print processes is one of our hallmarks of quality, infusing a richness and depth into every image: even black and white stills have a variety of tone that traditional newspaper-style printing simply doesn’t offer.
As eighties glamour shifted into gritty nineties angst, this story of an ordinary family plunged into a nightmare had a strange resonance which has never left us. The engaging, professionally-written articles in the signed hardcover Ultimate Guide to Pet Sematary are packed with information on the movie, with Greenquist’s first-hand experiences offering a rare insight into this very special motion picture.
In addition to the film itself, this signed Pet Sematary casebound movie guide is full of information about the cast and crew who told the macabre tale of the Creed family and their disastrous house move. You’ll learn about the storied lives and careers of stars Greenquist, Gwynne, Midkiff, Crosby and Hughes, as well as the Berdahl twins Blaze and Beau, whose combined portrayal of Ellie was a key part of the film’s character, and Andrew Hubatsek, whose performance as Zelda made us never want to get out of bed again. We also head away from the cameras, with biographies of writer Stephen King, director Mary Lambert, composer Elliot Goldenthal and cinematographer Peter Stein. It all adds up to an unmissable addition to your collection.
Those Orinco trucks are making such a racket as they drive past – won’t they ever slow down? There’ll be a terrible accident one of these days, mark my words. A walk out on the main road doesn’t seem such a good idea and Church still hasn’t come home to keep us company, so let’s find somewhere peaceful to read the signed Pet Sematary hardback Ultimate Guide. It’s usually quiet in the woods, although I’m not sure how far we should go past the old pet graveyard. That certainly doesn’t sound like a loon calling in those trees, and this ground seems pretty sour if you ask me…
