I grew up down the street from his house which is called the Fairmount area of Bangor. I still live in the area today. As a kid I would see him on his daily walks by my house with a book in hand reading as he walked. As for what he used to hand out for Halloween I remember King Size Hershey bars. He was and still is a huge part of our community. The Park that you reference across the street from the IT storm drain most all sitting there was built with donations from him and his wife Tabitha. His boys grew up and attended the Bangor schools as well. He coached a lot of youth sport teams his sons played on. He was my brother’s coach on a few teams. He is a very down to earth guy and treated like any other local resident who calls Bangor their home. Hence why the gate stays open. The sculpture in his front yard shown around the 4min mark he just recently had done a little over a year ago. It was carved out of a big old dead ash tree by local chainsaw artist Josh Landry. You don't get much more Mainah than that! 😊 Anyways this was a nicely done video and your Lost Boys filming location brought me here. Love that movie! Now IT is so cool to see you represent my hometown. Cheers to you both!
I used to live a few miles from his house on Casey Key, Sarasota Florida, a long narrow house on the beach in a very secluded part of the Key, so never saw him around town, think he only came down in the winter for a few months at a time. Lucky that you got to see him around and about. Seems like Main is his home. Cant blame him for making Bangor Main his headquarters and home base.
Very cool, thanks for sharing. The same with Jeff Daniels when he returns to Chelsea Mi. Everyone just treats him as a neighbor. His dad owns the lumber co.
My parents had neighbors from Bangor. Don & Laura Harvey or Hervey. Their son had a trailer dealership. I love that Maine accent. Before moving to Florida, they lived near Stephen King. Sadly, we lost touch with them years ago.
the scenes of the 'pet semetary' were filmed behind my dads aunts house. Stephen King took her family out to dinner as a thank you for letting him user her back yard as a movie set for how ever long they had to use it. I grew up my entire life hearing this story from my family.
I grew up reading Steven King books and seeing the movies. I agree with you 100%, Pet Semetary was one of the scariest besides The Shining from when I was a kid. The death of Gage was even more heartbreaking in the book. If you haven't read the book by now, you should. It's better than the movie.
The books are ALWAYS better. Alot more details. Movies have a time limit. Books dont. I usually buy the books AFTER i see a movie and liked it. The movies will disappoint, every time, if i read the book first. 😅
@@gustavoacevedo3998that's not necessarily true. Blade Runner the book really wasn't that much compared to the movie, American Psycho, Godfather, Casino, Fight Club, Psycho, bridges of Madison county, Jurassic park, total recall, minority report
It's ok, the little kid is fine in real life, but yeah in the movie it's heart breaking and frustrating. You move to the house, trucks flying by all the time, the first thing I would have done is eighter move or at least put up a very strong stone/& brick and tall metal gatted fence all around the house with automatice closeing gates. Then if useing the property across the street the picnics would be WAY FAR DOWN FROM THE BUSY CRAZY TRUCK ROAD. Wouldn't you?!
The way Dr. Creed screams in agony and cries out, "NOOOOOOO!!!!!! NOOOOOOO!!!" It made me feel like I actually was watching a father who just watched his son get killed. Now THAT is acting!
My b/f (at the time) and I literally walked out of the theater; we couldn't take it. It tore us both up... I was crying so hard I was hyperventilating. I finally got the nerve to watch it again in 2010, and handled it muuuuch better lol. It's a really good movie!
I've only seen Pet Sematary once in a theater, I passed out when Gage got killed and had to leave and never seen it again, I felt the light headedness when you played the dads scream. Many of his movies have had that effect on me, Cujo, The Shining. Reading his books only gives me freaky dreams which I'm told is a normal thing readers get from his books.
I'm actually in the middle of rereading Pet Semetary and yesterday took a 15 minute power snooze. Had a waking dream where Church was sitting beside me with his eerie green eyes, talking to me. Spooked the hell out of me well after I woke up.
I'm not gonna lie, I'm so beyond impressed with you both! You did some seriously hardcore traveling and hiking to all of those locations and I know because I've done them all myself. Everyone of those places is utterly amazing, and the experience itself is breathtaking physically and visually. Thank for both so much for doing this video! \m/
Fun fact - the cat “actor”, Church (Churchill), was actually my family’s cat. A British Shorthair. My grandmother bred them and it was one of her favorites!
I used to work in that area years ago and ran into Stephen king a few times at the pharmacy in Bangor.He was friendly and wouldd talk to you if he was not in a hurry.His home is beautiful with that awesome fence and iron gates.Thanks for another great and informative video!!
This may be one of your best film location videos to date. The amount of details and the superb narrative, beginning and ending at SK's house. Outstanding piece of work kids. Grimm for Life!
I was pregnant with my son when I first watched Pet Semetary in '89. I even thought about naming him Gage but my husband wasn't fond of it lol. I also remember being so emotional watching it! I can't believe how much everything looks the same all these decades later! What a great video!
Yes, I know a young man who is called Gage. He said that his mother loved the movie and named him for the little boy in the movie. Also met a young lady who was named Cicely for Cicely Tyson.
I used to live in Mass and it’s beautiful in Maine, just gorgeous up there. The clean and crisp air, the foliage, the atmosphere, just magical. Really cool you two!
I remember seeing "Pet Cemetery " it terrified me, Stephen King is the best writer ever in my lifetime.. can anyone ever replace him, I highly doubt it, he's one of a kind... thank you both for all the video's and traveling you've done for all of us.. now go enjoy your Holiday's with Friends and Family...
The death scene of the baby scarred me for life. I remember the theater I was at, the payphone I used to call my mom to pick me and my friend up, and the look of my dog's eyes when I opened the car door. I think I was 12...? horrific!!!
Why am I just now finding your channel. This is great and I have been binge watching your videos all day. I love how you show images from the movie and match them with the scenes from your location. You guys are great!
one of the scariest movies I watched growing up. the gloomy skies created a perfect ambience for this video. also the nature in Maine looks exactly like in my country Sweden. 👍
Hi guys, I just found out a dear friend passed from Covid, I'm in shock, very very sad. I'm trying to get it together.I am a huge King fan I read Pet Semetary I just gave an old copy to my son. I love it so much my cat is literally named" Church" !!!! Thank you guys for wiping away a few of my tears if only for a minute. Stay safe!🤗
i was still in high school when this movie came out--my sister is a few years older and had married and had a toddler about the same age as Gage...this scene had us completely hysterical crying in the theatre. Still the most horrible, just utterly devastating deaths in cinematic history imo--literally all the scary, gory, awful things ever on screen, pale by comparison. King's most powerful work ever🖤
I love that his wife Tabitha said, she was the one to get the bats out of the attic, because he was afraid too! The fact that he admits he's afraid of things makes him even more relatable as a human and a writer! ❤
I grew up in Stephen King Country (Augusta, Maine) and a teacher at my high school was a production assistant for Pet Sematary, he used to wear his crew shirt all the time. And as many times as I've hiked the Bubbles I never realized that's what was in the film.
This is one of my favorite videos you have made. The atmosphere, the scenery, the feeling of autumn. I could seriously feel, and smell fall. Keep the amazing videos coming!
I absolutely LOVE Stephen King! All of the places you two have visited in New England are on my bucket list, and just add Bangor, Maine to that! Pet Sematary is one of the classic scary movies I watched as a kid and I STILL love today. Stephen King books turned into movies have always been my favorites. Dolores Claiborne was another favorite. I could go on and on.
I did all these locations too last year in October but you guys missed the opportunity to see the Red Peterbilt semi that hit Gage. It is still around in fact about 2 hours north of Bangor in a town called Princeton, it is on the property of a tow yard and I drove up there to see it and even climbed inside of it as it was unlocked and it has a plaque on the dashboard reading “This Perterbilt was custom made for Stephen King’s Pet Sematary” … it was very cool to see!! Great video guys I loved seeing these locations again through your video.
So happy you have both come to where I was born and still live today, 56 years later. It was such a pleasure watching this and several of your other videos. Maine is such a unique and beautiful place. Stephen King was actually a high school English teacher at my high school, Hampden Academy. Hampden is one of the towns next to Bangor. He wrote Carrie when he was a teacher at Hampden. He didn't think the story was up to par, and initially threw it in the trash. His wife, Tabitha, found the manuscript and read it. She urged him to submit the story to a publisher and the rest is history. The Kings are major philanthropists in our community. I live about 5 miles from his house, and love to see all the tourists gathering around to admire his beautiful home. Keep up the good work, and come back to Bangor soon!
I've spied Stephen Kings house as a passerby!! I use to live in Maine I had no idea though that the filming location of the actual Pet Sematary was actually in Ellsworth Maine!!. I'm pretty sure I went by that large grave yard in Ellsworth several times as a kiddo. This is definitely a cool video thanks for sharing this!!
I saw Pet Sematary for the first time at my 8th birthday party- The book is one of my dad's favorites and was always on the shelf so he was excited for me to see the movie... probably less excited to have four 8 year old girls screaming and pairing up to use the bathroom for the rest of the night out of pure terror 🤭😂
As a child growing up there were 3 films that terrified me. The exorcist which my mother wanted to see when I was 9, and till this day is horrifying still to me. Carrie was another one that gave me nightmares. And the movie burnt offerings, Am a big fan of these movies still to this day. Totally love your videos and the grimmcollective, keep up the great work. Have you done one on burnt offerings at the Dunsmuir house.
The novel upset me for weeks after I read it ..Gage was absolutely horrifying and his death scene in the 1989 movie was disturbing. Thank you for bringing us to the site..sooo much appreciated. ❤️
As a lifelong fan of SK, Pet Semetary being my favourite novel (not just from SK but of everything I've ever read) I loved this video. I was a teenager when I first read it (I'm 49 now), and the description of Gage's death has stayed with me to this day, horrifying details there's no way you could put into a film even now. Thanks for a fantastic video, I may need to go read it again now
I live in Bangor and I've seen Pet Sematary quite a few times. Usually my favorite time to watch the movie was around Halloween. I only discovered this video several months after the fact and I've always wondered where the filming locations in Maine were from the movie. I knew Mount Hope Cemetery was one location, but I've always wondered about the others like the Micmac burial ground. Thanks for revealing the exact location of those places. It inspires me to possibly go out and visit them this summer when I have the time.
Wonderful job, friends! Truly enjoyable and I felt as though I was there with you both! Thank you for taking me, and all of us, on this journey that many of us will never get to realize. God bless, safe travels, and keep up the great work! Happy 2022 to you both and best wishes! Take care and thanks again. Really fun to travel with you guys.
I found your channel last month and have been watching several of your videos. Your knowledgeable collection of camera angles, film history, and behind-the-scenes information ties everything together. Your narration throughout the video is spot-on, as is your editing. Thank you for taking the time to visit these locations and share them with all of us. You two really do a fantastic job.
I tell my boyfriend how amazing this channel is . U guys are creating such a wonderful fan base and I’m glad to see your channel grow . When are you guys doing another live stream while watching a movie . I want to get in on that with my boyfriend . I bless you guys beyond belief . You both are the Best . This video not only shows your dedication but creativity , personality and sensitivity and love the comic relief . Peace !
I was a junior in high school when I saw this movie in the theater after reading book 2 years earlier. Thank you for taking me down memory lane! I love your videos, keep up the great work. x
The "climbing roots" location is not where you were at. It is on a foot trail called Deer Brook Trail approximately 50 yards above and west of the Deer Brook Bridge carriage road. The tree with the notch in it in the film is still there, and the roots are still there on each side of the trail. You'll KNOW it when you see it. It really hasn't changed much, I wish I could post my pics here 🙂. Easy access for film crew from the carriage road. Hope this helps future seekers.
Holy Moly!!! I can’t stop watching your videos!!! You’re so thorough in your descriptions, and putting screen shots and photos in your videos is epic. It really feels like I’m there. Michael and Jennifer, thank you for all you do to bring us these incredible videos Beautiful Souls. They’re SPOOKTACULAR!!! ‘Happy Halloween!!!’ ♥️🤟🏽💀
Wow!! Another amazing video, thank you so much for taking all of us with you!! I was so hoping Steven was going to come walking out of his house and invite you two in!! Love you two!!! 🎃
Thanks sooo much for doing this! I didn't read the book but the movie is one of my absolute favorites. I will NEVER forget watching the scene where Gage dies. I was in a theater and there was this collective gasp. It gets to me every time I watch it. I actually named one of my cats Church after this lol. What a beautiful and interesting cemetery btw.
This was the very first movie to ever scare me as a kid! And I have to say, rewatching this movie as an adult with children of my own now, it just hits sooo different! Its way darker and scarier than I ever thought as a child! I completely agree with him, this is the scariest thing he's ever written, and its because it is so realistic and every parents absolute worst nightmare!
Loved this video. By the way, I just watched that cemetery scene again and I think that cross you guys found was a prop from the movie. Sooo cool! I loved it.
Native Mainer here from midcoast Maine, this is a very special tour of the movie. Thank you for bringing this to us. It’s hard to imagine how far away each filming location was. Many if not all his movies were partially filmed in Maine. I was able to see one location from the movie Thinner, that was pretty great.
Pet Semetary one of the best horrors from my list of favourites. I was a teen when it came out and yes, Pascow used to freak me out…. This video was amazing!! Thanks so much 🖤you are so lucky to have experienced this!
This was excellent! Stephen King is 1 of my fav authors. Both “It” and “Pet Cemetary” were better in written form than in movie form. Both of you have GOT to read Pet Cemetary especially. Love your videos!!
Absolutely stunning! This is one of the best vlogs you have ever done! It is so wild to see the spots that inspired his works and The Pet Semetary filming locations. I don't always get a chance to watch, but when I do, I always enjoy it so much. Thank You!
This is probably my favorite video from your channel. Beautifully done, you lined the scenes up perfectly. Really enjoyed this video. What an amazing journey. Well done!
I currently live about a mile from Stephen Kings house, but years ago when Stephen King lived in Orrington, my home town where I grew up, there was an actual pet cemetery behind the church on the center drive road and behind Stephen Kings house in Orrington which was the inspiration to the movie Pet Cemetery.
This video gave me so many emotions from goosebumps to sadness to being in awe truly an amazing video as always I so love you guys and that you do what you do and I also absolutely love your intro lol
I love your enthusiasm in this video! Really cool to see the filming locations of such an iconic movie. This was a super scary movie I saw as an 80’s kid and it has stood the test of time. Thanks for all the work bringing us this video. One of my favorites of you guys for sure!
You guys are such a blessing. I love and appreciate what you guys do and this video specifically really takes the cake for me. I love Stephen King and Pet Sematary is the scariest novel I have ever read and the film was terrifying. I cannot believe how beautiful it is up there. (Btw I didn't know you were from the Burgh, my husband and I are too. Mount Lebanon and Bethel Park specifically) which is cool . Thank you guys for this 🖤😭 You and Jessica are the best.
I loved this video. So much information, you both go way and BEYOND! From George’s head stone for IT, carries headstone 🪦 for the movie for Carrie, the storm drain that inspired the scene for it, I love his house! His gate, STEPEN KING IS EVERYTHING! THANK YOU AGAIN!
Love your Work! Love your passion and how you narrate your deliverance! You both stay well, safe and will be excited to catch you both on the next one, love watching from New Zealand with LOve!
Pet Sematary was the first book I read that truly scared me. I was in my teens reading late at night because I couldn’t put it down, and I read a line that scared me so bad that I threw the book and stupidly closed my eyes. I think Pet Sematary is still my favorite Stephen King book.
Just curious if you'd be willing to repeat the line on here that scared you so bad, the only reason I ask, is that there is a line from the book that STILL scares the shit of me today at 37 years old, anytime my mind is unfortunate enough at night to remember it. Just curious if it was the same one.
The wife and I just had our son and we are house hunting. I’ve passed up many beautiful homes on county roads because of this movie. All I can imagine is my son running into the road and bam!!!
My daughter works for publix in Venice FL. She is a butcher and mgr of the meat dept. Steven and his wife comes into her store when they are down for the winter. She cuts their meat and says they are the nicest ppl. He has signed several of his books for her.
This was my favorite movie as a child I’d watch it over and over again. I was more scared of Zelda than I was gage lol. Such a great video how cool to be able to be there. Amazing!
I love Stephen King. This is an awesome video. Christine is my favorite story. But in the Pet Sematary book, Gage was decapitated when the truck hit him and his hat filled up with blood. When Louis disinterred Gage his head was unstable. So there are discrepancies between his novels and the movies. The books give a deeper character analysis, though. Thank you for uploading this video.
Wowwwww…. Dang, thank u for sharing that Deanna! I never read the book, but that’s so interesting to hear about the differences and how much more gruesome that scene was in the novel.. wow. I’ll have to read it sometime for sure. Thank you! 🖤
Gage is *not* decapitated by the truck, or at all, in the book. The part of the novel in which Louis digs up Gage’s body, there is mold on Gage’s head. Louis, initially, thinks his head is missing, as it is basically camouflaged.
That scenery is stunningly beautiful🥰 Thank you very much for taking your time to show the scenery around the filming locations. It gives your videos and you guys in general some extra love and appreciation for what you do. I know there are other youtubers who also make videos about filming locations but you guys are truly dedicated though.
Thank you for sharing Stephen King's home! I'm thrilled to see it. I would have loved if he came out to see you! Excellent editing! I forgot Fred Gwynn (Herman Munster) was in the movie. My all time favorite movie/book is The Stand. The scariest was Salems' Lot and It (the original).
You are a master of storytelling on the shooting locations for the movie. And it’s great to learn how Stephen King used local sites as inspiration for his stories. Great to see Stephen King’s home and beautiful Bangor Maine. I do think King would like what you’ve done here! Respecting the work of a great writer in your storytelling and images from the film is classy, I must say. It was eerie to see some of these shooting locales. I have not seen the movie but perhaps I will brave it now! Great video!
This. Is. Amazing. The ambiance is perfection. I am from St. Louis, but always tell my husband, if we ever leave here, it's off to Maine. This right here is why.
I once lived near the filming location for Pet Semetary 2, Arabia Mountain and grew up a mile from Stone Mountain both are the same granite rock formation miles apart from one another, and both were originally used as rock quarries, but are now both parks. The "etching" marks in the granite are where sticks of dynamite were inserted to explode and separate large sections of granite blocks used later for early buildings and structures all across the world. I Love all your videos! You do an incredibly interesting, respectful and cinematic presentation in all your projects and your time and skills are appreciated because your end product is quality entertainment which serves to edify and educate. Thanks for all you do.
I read this book back in 1988. I was at college, right before Christmas brea. Scared the crap outta me. I came home, and my grandma passed. Anyway, this book scared me so bad, it's the reason I'm going to be creamated.
This is a awesome video. I have a story to tell right after this movie came out I had a cat that got caught in my dad‘s fan shroud out of his truck and it what he thought at the time had killed the cat he took it down the road so my mom would not see it and put it in the woods and buried it with some leaves, three days later that cat came back home. It had lots of maggots falling out of it. We carried it to the vet to see if it was able to be saved, but he said there was too much damage tissue and too many maggots down in its nasal passages, freak me the hell out.

Is there pictures
Yeah pictures show us I’ll send you my email.
The pet cemetery scene? 🤔
Stephen King is a he not a her
Stephen king didn’t direct the film.
This episode was so incredibly top notch. I want to watch this over and over again.
You remind me of JIM CARRY
After the first movie, the test are down hill from there.

I was thinking the same about Gage’s death scene. That was a heart wrenching scene for me, especially as a 14 year old, and it still makes me cry.
Dr. Creed's wailing cry, still shreds my heart like a blender.💔
It's ok, the little kid is fine in real life, but yeah in the movie it's heart breaking and frustrating. You move to the house, trucks flying by all the time, the first thing I would have done is eighter move or at least put up a very strong stone/& brick and tall metal gatted fence all around the house with automatice closeing gates.

Thanks for the bedtime story, Remo Williams. I think it'll work great
Don't you just love how Stephen King always gets so sort of Cameo in the movies for his books.
Fun fact - the cat “actor”, Church (Churchill), was actually my family’s cat.
A British Shorthair. My grandmother bred them and it was one of her favorites!
That's awesome! I was wondering how long he lived till?
WOW!
Awesome!!!
I thought they used like 7 different cats for the movie?
Very interesting and I love all Kings books and movies, thank you for sharing.
Wow! That house still looks EXACTLY the same as it did way back in 1989!
I agree Gage's death in the movie totally freaked me out and broke my heart.
I used to work in that area years ago and ran into Stephen king a few times at the pharmacy in Bangor.He was friendly and wouldd talk to you if he was not in a hurry.His home is beautiful with that awesome fence and iron gates.Thanks for another great and informative video!!

@@tracycraft2971 That's awesome!
If my daughter would have been a boy Gage is the name I had picked out lol
Yes that scene was heartbreaking a real tuffy!!
Yes, I know a young man who is called Gage. He said that his mother loved the movie and named him for the little boy in the movie.
Also met a young lady who was named Cicely for Cicely Tyson.

I first read Pet Sematary in 1984 . . . then I sent the book to my thirteen year old sister, Sue. She's still pissed about it. Good Times.
Hearing Rachel scream get the baby!!! Get the baby!! And the flash backs of pictures, is what got me!!!

Keep the amazing videos coming!
I absolutely LOVE Stephen King! All of the places you two have visited in New England are on my bucket list, and just add Bangor, Maine to that! Pet Sematary is one of the classic scary movies I watched as a kid and I STILL love today. Stephen King books turned into movies have always been my favorites. Dolores Claiborne was another favorite. I could go on and on.
I feel you I just watch Pet Cemetary for the 8 millionth time the other day. I can't get enough of his books and movies!
If you need any Info or have any Questions about Stephen King...just ask me.
Needful things was pretty decent to
@@zerocool411 definately
Dolores Claiborne movie is a million times better than Pet Sematary movie
I did all these locations too last year in October but you guys missed the opportunity to see the Red Peterbilt semi that hit Gage. It is still around in fact about 2 hours north of Bangor in a town called Princeton, it is on the property of a tow yard and I drove up there to see it and even climbed inside of it as it was unlocked and it has a plaque on the dashboard reading “This Perterbilt was custom made for Stephen King’s Pet Sematary” … it was very cool to see!! Great video guys I loved seeing these locations again through your video.
You guys are absolutely killing it. Thank you so much for sharing all your adventures.
Arent they tho?
So happy you have both come to where I was born and still live today, 56 years later. It was such a pleasure watching this and several of your other videos. Maine is such a unique and beautiful place. Stephen King was actually a high school English teacher at my high school, Hampden Academy. Hampden is one of the towns next to Bangor. He wrote Carrie when he was a teacher at Hampden. He didn't think the story was up to par, and initially threw it in the trash. His wife, Tabitha, found the manuscript and read it. She urged him to submit the story to a publisher and the rest is history. The Kings are major philanthropists in our community. I live about 5 miles from his house, and love to see all the tourists gathering around to admire his beautiful home. Keep up the good work, and come back to Bangor soon!
Okay, Stephen King's house is officially my dream house! I couldn't imagine a more amazing place! 🕸
I would love to travel with u guys. I love to sightsee the same way, walking, relaxing soaking it in and finding information of the backstories.
There is only one true Pet Semetary movie and that’s the 1989 one 💪 Great video guys!
It was cheesy and made for tv lol
@@kingrama2727the reboot wasn't great either. The book is better than both
@@leob4403 true. But you can only fit so much of an 800 page book into 90 minutes
I've spied Stephen Kings house as a passerby!! I use to live in Maine I had no idea though that the filming location of the actual Pet Sematary was actually in Ellsworth Maine!!. I'm pretty sure I went by that large grave yard in Ellsworth several times as a kiddo. This is definitely a cool video thanks for sharing this!!
I saw Pet Sematary for the first time at my 8th birthday party-
The book is one of my dad's favorites and was always on the shelf so he was excited for me to see the movie... probably less excited to have four 8 year old girls screaming and pairing up to use the bathroom for the rest of the night out of pure terror 🤭😂
As a child growing up there were 3 films that terrified me. The exorcist which my mother wanted to see when I was 9, and till this day is horrifying still to me. Carrie was another one that gave me nightmares. And the movie burnt offerings, Am a big fan of these movies still to this day. Totally love your videos and the grimmcollective, keep up the great work. Have you done one on burnt offerings at the Dunsmuir house.
The novel upset me for weeks after I read it ..Gage was absolutely horrifying and his death scene in the 1989 movie was disturbing. Thank you for bringing us to the site..sooo much appreciated. ❤️
Its upsetting how he died though. His parents were careless.
As a lifelong fan of SK, Pet Semetary being my favourite novel (not just from SK but of everything I've ever read) I loved this video. I was a teenager when I first read it (I'm 49 now), and the description of Gage's death has stayed with me to this day, horrifying details there's no way you could put into a film even now. Thanks for a fantastic video, I may need to go read it again now
I live in Bangor and I've seen Pet Sematary quite a few times. Usually my favorite time to watch the movie was around Halloween. I only discovered this video several months after the fact and I've always wondered where the filming locations in Maine were from the movie. I knew Mount Hope Cemetery was one location, but I've always wondered about the others like the Micmac burial ground. Thanks for revealing the exact location of those places. It inspires me to possibly go out and visit them this summer when I have the time.
Wonderful job, friends! Truly enjoyable and I felt as though I was there with you both! Thank you for taking me, and all of us, on this journey that many of us will never get to realize. God bless, safe travels, and keep up the great work! Happy 2022 to you both and best wishes! Take care and thanks again. Really fun to travel with you guys.
I found your channel last month and have been watching several of your videos. Your knowledgeable collection of camera angles, film history, and behind-the-scenes information ties everything together. Your narration throughout the video is spot-on, as is your editing. Thank you for taking the time to visit these locations and share them with all of us. You two really do a fantastic job.
I tell my boyfriend how amazing this channel is . U guys are creating such a wonderful fan base and I’m glad to see your channel grow . When are you guys doing another live stream while watching a movie . I want to get in on that with my boyfriend . I bless you guys beyond belief . You both are the Best . This video not only shows your dedication but creativity , personality and sensitivity and love the comic relief . Peace !
Your filming location videos are fantastic! I appreciate the time and research that you put into these videos. Thanks for sharing!
I was a junior in high school when I saw this movie in the theater after reading book 2 years earlier. Thank you for taking me down memory lane! I love your videos, keep up the great work. x
The "climbing roots" location is not where you were at. It is on a foot trail called Deer Brook Trail approximately 50 yards above and west of the Deer Brook Bridge carriage road. The tree with the notch in it in the film is still there, and the roots are still there on each side of the trail. You'll KNOW it when you see it. It really hasn't changed much, I wish I could post my pics here 🙂. Easy access for film crew from the carriage road. Hope this helps future seekers.
Holy Moly!!! I can’t stop watching your videos!!! You’re so thorough in your descriptions, and putting screen shots and photos in your videos is epic. It really feels like I’m there. Michael and Jennifer, thank you for all you do to bring us these incredible videos Beautiful Souls. They’re SPOOKTACULAR!!! ‘Happy Halloween!!!’ ♥️🤟🏽💀
Wow!! Another amazing video, thank you so much for taking all of us with you!! I was so hoping Steven was going to come walking out of his house and invite you two in!!
Love you two!!! 🎃
Yeah,I think they should try to get an interview with him!
Thanks sooo much for doing this! I didn't read the book but the movie is one of my absolute favorites. I will NEVER forget watching the scene where Gage dies. I was in a theater and there was this collective gasp. It gets to me every time I watch it. I actually named one of my cats Church after this lol. What a beautiful and interesting cemetery btw.
One of my favorite scary movies!!! I loved when you showed Stephen Kings house!! It is awesome!!!
This was the very first movie to ever scare me as a kid! And I have to say, rewatching this movie as an adult with children of my own now, it just hits sooo different! Its way darker and scarier than I ever thought as a child! I completely agree with him, this is the scariest thing he's ever written, and its because it is so realistic and every parents absolute worst nightmare!
Awesome video! Makes me already miss October and my favorite Holiday. You can have Christmas give me the candy and skulls!
Loved this video. By the way, I just watched that cemetery scene again and I think that cross you guys found was a prop from the movie. Sooo cool! I loved it.
I am a huge Stephen King fan love all of his work he is amazing.
Native Mainer here from midcoast Maine, this is a very special tour of the movie. Thank you for bringing this to us. It’s hard to imagine how far away each filming location was. Many if not all his movies were partially filmed in Maine. I was able to see one location from the movie Thinner, that was pretty great.
Pet Semetary one of the best horrors from my list of favourites. I was a teen when it came out and yes, Pascow used to freak me out…. This video was amazing!! Thanks so much 🖤you are so lucky to have experienced this!
My favorite book of Stephen King’s is “Gerald’s Game”. Talk about a nightmare!! Lol
Great job on the video you two! Another home run!!
15:31 it’s the gut wrenching scream that really gets to you
Omg! thanks for made this, my favorite movie in the all world. Hugs from Brazil🇧🇷 💕
Oi
Such a scary movie and the locations are amazing and beautiful. This series just keeps getting better. Thank you so much for sharing. Happy Halloween!
This was excellent! Stephen King is 1 of my fav authors. Both “It” and “Pet Cemetary” were better in written form than in movie form. Both of you have GOT to read Pet Cemetary especially. Love your videos!!
The name is Pet Sematary actually not Cemetery
Absolutely stunning! This is one of the best vlogs you have ever done! It is so wild to see the spots that inspired his works and The Pet Semetary filming locations. I don't always get a chance to watch, but when I do, I always enjoy it so much. Thank You!
Soooo cool! All the locations you visited and the way you both talked about were pretty enjoyable 👏
This is probably my favorite video from your channel. Beautifully done, you lined the scenes up perfectly. Really enjoyed this video. What an amazing journey. Well done!
I currently live about a mile from Stephen Kings house, but years ago when Stephen King lived in Orrington, my home town where I grew up, there was an actual pet cemetery behind the church on the center drive road and behind Stephen Kings house in Orrington which was the inspiration to the movie Pet Cemetery.
This video gave me so many emotions from goosebumps to sadness to being in awe truly an amazing video as always I so love you guys and that you do what you do and I also absolutely love your intro lol
I love your enthusiasm in this video! Really cool to see the filming locations of such an iconic movie. This was a super scary movie I saw as an 80’s kid and it has stood the test of time. Thanks for all the work bringing us this video. One of my favorites of you guys for sure!
You guys are such a blessing. I love and appreciate what you guys do and this video specifically really takes the cake for me. I love Stephen King and Pet Sematary is the scariest novel I have ever read and the film was terrifying. I cannot believe how beautiful it is up there. (Btw I didn't know you were from the Burgh, my husband and I are too. Mount Lebanon and Bethel Park specifically) which is cool .
Thank you guys for this 🖤😭 You and Jessica are the best.
I was raised on his books and movies. 🍿 Thank you for these amazing videos.
I loved this video. So much information, you both go way and BEYOND! From George’s head stone for IT, carries headstone 🪦 for the movie for Carrie, the storm drain that inspired the scene for it, I love his house! His gate, STEPEN KING IS EVERYTHING! THANK YOU AGAIN!
Love your Work! Love your passion and how you narrate your deliverance! You both stay well, safe and will be excited to catch you both on the next one, love watching from New Zealand with LOve!
It's a pleasure to watch your locations videos. Greetings from Brazil.
I just visited his house today, y’all inspired me❤
. I’m living here in Bar Harbor, Maine and drove down to Banjor.
Thanks and love y’all ❤❤❤
Pet Sematary was the first book I read that truly scared me. I was in my teens reading late at night because I couldn’t put it down, and I read a line that scared me so bad that I threw the book and stupidly closed my eyes. I think Pet Sematary is still my favorite Stephen King book.
Just curious if you'd be willing to repeat the line on here that scared you so bad, the only reason I ask, is that there is a line from the book that STILL scares the shit of me today at 37 years old, anytime my mind is unfortunate enough at night to remember it. Just curious if it was the same one.
The wife and I just had our son and we are house hunting. I’ve passed up many beautiful homes on county roads because of this movie. All I can imagine is my son running into the road and bam!!!
That's definitely a legit fear in the US. Traffic safety is lackluster unfortunately
The bumper sticker "Have you hugged your M.D. today" was the creepiest thing about this.
My daughter works for publix in Venice FL. She is a butcher and mgr of the meat dept. Steven and his wife comes into her store when they are down for the winter. She cuts their meat and says they are the nicest ppl. He has signed several of his books for her.
When Louis and his father in law fought and turned Gages coffin over is what got me
This was my favorite movie as a child I’d watch it over and over again. I was more scared of Zelda than I was gage lol. Such a great video how cool to be able to be there. Amazing!
The part in this movie when the kid has the scalpel and cuts the guy in his Achilles heel has imprinted in my brain and traumatizes me ever since 😳
Did you watch Hostel?
I was the postmaster of that city, he’s a great guy and always sent the office lots candy in Halloween
Thank you GrimLifeCollective! Currently I’m going through rough times, and your uploads bring me happiness. Please keep up the grand work
Stephen King, the only author to give me nightmares. Met him at a book signing, nice man. Great video, as usual. 💝
I love Stephen King. This is an awesome video. Christine is my favorite story. But in the Pet Sematary book, Gage was decapitated when the truck hit him and his hat filled up with blood. When Louis disinterred Gage his head was unstable. So there are discrepancies between his novels and the movies. The books give a deeper character analysis, though. Thank you for uploading this video.
Wowwwww…. Dang, thank u for sharing that Deanna! I never read the book, but that’s so interesting to hear about the differences and how much more gruesome that scene was in the novel.. wow. I’ll have to read it sometime for sure. Thank you! 🖤
Gage is *not* decapitated by the truck, or at all, in the book.
The part of the novel in which Louis digs up Gage’s body, there is mold on Gage’s head.
Louis, initially, thinks his head is missing, as it is basically camouflaged.
Pet Sematary is my favourite King book ..I became a ‘Constant Reader’ aged 14-and I’m 55 now 🤦🏻♀️
That scenery is stunningly beautiful🥰
Thank you very much for taking your time to show the scenery around the filming locations. It gives your videos and you guys in general some extra love and appreciation for what you do. I know there are other youtubers who also make videos about filming locations but you guys are truly dedicated though.
My mom was like 6 years old when this came out, we just watched it together. Now I'm watching this video. The Gage seen made me cry
Thank you for sharing Stephen King's home! I'm thrilled to see it. I would have loved if he came out to see you!
Excellent editing!
I forgot Fred Gwynn (Herman Munster) was in the movie.
My all time favorite movie/book is The Stand. The scariest was Salems' Lot and It (the original).
Woaaa there are so many inspirations of Stephen King’s novels in this city!
You are a master of storytelling on the shooting locations for the movie. And it’s great to learn how Stephen King used local sites as inspiration for his stories. Great to see Stephen King’s home and beautiful Bangor Maine. I do think King would like what you’ve done here! Respecting the work of a great writer in your storytelling and images from the film is classy, I must say. It was eerie to see some of these shooting locales. I have not seen the movie but perhaps I will brave it now! Great video!
This. Is. Amazing. The ambiance is perfection. I am from St. Louis, but always tell my husband, if we ever leave here, it's off to Maine. This right here is why.
Very good!!❤️ thank you!
I once lived near the filming location for Pet Semetary 2, Arabia Mountain and grew up a mile from Stone Mountain both are the same granite rock formation miles apart from one another, and both were originally used as rock quarries, but are now both parks. The "etching" marks in the granite are where sticks of dynamite were inserted to explode and separate large sections of granite blocks used later for early buildings and structures all across the world. I Love all your videos! You do an incredibly interesting, respectful and cinematic presentation in all your projects and your time and skills are appreciated because your end product is quality entertainment which serves to edify and educate. Thanks for all you do.
I read this book back in 1988. I was at college, right before Christmas brea. Scared the crap outta me. I came home, and my grandma passed. Anyway, this book scared me so bad, it's the reason I'm going to be creamated.
Very cool place! Love the red balloon!! I wanted to live in that house whenever I saw photos of it!! 🎈🎈🎈
Yep, this is exactly what I would expect Stephen King's house to look like!💯😱👻
I absolutely loved this spooktacular adventure 😀
This is a awesome video. I have a story to tell right after this movie came out I had a cat that got caught in my dad‘s fan shroud out of his truck and it what he thought at the time had killed the cat he took it down the road so my mom would not see it and put it in the woods and buried it with some leaves, three days later that cat came back home. It had lots of maggots falling out of it. We carried it to the vet to see if it was able to be saved, but he said there was too much damage tissue and too many maggots down in its nasal passages, freak me the hell out.
I've just been curled up on the bed with your videos all day. Thank you ❤️🦇
