"Pet Sematary" might be Stephen King's biggest '80s movie hit, but is it any good after 30 years? That depends on whether you value good moviemaking over good writing.

Find out what The Ramones had to do with getting this movie made, why you shouldn't let your cat outside, when it's safe to picnic in Maine, why Fred Gwynne sounds like a '40s detective, and why Cemetery is spelled Sematary.

Kerri Gross, Dick Ebert, and Gene Lyons also cover:

• horrendous parenting skills
• even worse fence-building skills
• when open-casket funerals make sense
• when infants are the best actors in a movie
• and how fast a toddler can actually run.

How did nobody call PETA on this one? Was this the first actually scary movie we reviewed? Who the hell edited this thing?

Find out in this week's super-spooky edition of Shat The Movies!
