''[[Pet Sematary]]'' is a 1983 horror novel by [[Stephen King]]. It was nominated for a World Fantasy Award for Best Novel in 1984. It was later made into a film popular enough to warrant a 1992 sequel which is arguably [[Sequelitis|mediocre.]]
Louis Creed, a doctor from Chicago, moves to a house near the small town of Ludlow, Maine with his wife Rachel, their two young children, Ellie and Gage, and Ellie's cat, Winston Churchill ("Church"). Their neighbor, an elderly man named Jud Crandall, warns Louis and Rachel about the highway that runs past their house; it is used by trucks from a nearby chemical plant that often pass by at high speeds. A few weeks after the Creeds move in, Jud takes the family on a walk in the woods behind their home. A well-tended path leads to a pet cemetery (misspelled "sematary") where the children of the town bury their deceased animals.
