00:00
I wrote a book called Pet Sematary.
00:02
When I finished the book, I actually put it in a drawer
00:04
because I didn't think anybody would want to read anything like that, but they did.
00:08
I first read the Pet Sematary script when I was an executive at Embassy Pictures.
00:12
I left Embassy in 1985 to become an executive at Paramount,
00:16
and I tried to get Pet Sematary made,
00:18
but the prevailing opinion in those years was that the time for Stephen King movies had come and gone.
00:23
Ready, and go.
00:25
He doesn't just write a scary monster in the closet story.
00:29
It's always a psychological aspect to it.
00:32
It was one of those films that you find with a group of friends, and you all immediately love it.
00:36
It was a woman directing a horror film.
00:38
It made my career as a film director. It's still my most successful film.
00:47
I went in on the callback with her,
00:49
and because of child labor laws at the time, I think that probably helped.
00:53
Meeko Hughes was in a really important part of this film.
00:56
Paramount was not happy. They wanted twins.
00:58
Shoot it. Shoot it. Schedule it.
01:01
I didn't find, actually, that working with the child very difficult at all.
01:05
The cats were another story altogether.
01:07
I've always loved Fred Gwynn. He was an amazing actor.
01:10
What? He'd like to play this?
01:13
It was Fred Gwynn.
01:14
He's the one that sets the whole story in motion.
01:17
When I learned that he had written a book based on My Pet Sematary, it was really quite mind-boggling.
01:23
He can see something like that and get the beginnings of a story.
01:26
I knew this fictional character, and this was real flesh and blood.
01:30
All the people who died in this film you cared about.
01:32
Pet Sematary is really a timeless story.
01:34
The Zelda theme is my favorite. I mean, that scared it out of me.
01:38
Rachel.
01:40
Don't screw up a shot, Dale, because, you know, these people are going to be really angry with you if you do.
01:45
They said, don't worry, we're not going to burn the other house down.
01:47
They assured me that nothing would go wrong.
01:50
Dale actually got a second-degree burn.
01:52
It felt like the fire was right in my face.
01:55
He lunges me, he bites it, pulls it off.
01:57
Fred's going, oh, oh, oh.
01:59
And Meeko freaked out.
02:00
I really wanted to pull it off in this very claustrophobic.
02:06
I think I enjoy watching Pet Sematary the most.
02:09
It's the easiest to disconnect myself from it.
02:12
It took another year or so before I was able to watch it from the beginning to the end.
02:15
You have got to go to Midtown to see Pet Sematary.
02:18
She said there was a whole crowd of kids who went, jump, bitch!
02:22
It's such a specific moment in time that I hardly remember,
02:25
and yet it seems to have affected a generation of people
02:29
that it's just amazing to me that it can be so powerful.
02:36
Well, at least something could come of it.
02:38
This place.
02:40
Couldn't plant nothing for corpses here anyway, I guess.
