Prequel to Pet Sematary coming October 6

The prequel to Pet Sematary, "Pet Sematary: Bloodlines" will premier on October 6 on Paramount +.  If you're not familiar with Pet Sematary, it's a book by Stephen King that was made into a movie in 1989. I liked the movie. It's about an ancient burial ground that brings back the dead but not in the way they were. The dead come back as evil. In the original movie, the family's cat is killed so the dad buries it at the Pet Sematary. The cat comes back as a mangy, pissed off feline with a bad case of fuckuitis. Then, an unfortunate accident kills the family's kid and the dad buries him in the Pet Sematary. The kid comes back as evil incarnate dressed in Charles Dickens haute couture.


As mentioned, the original movie came out in 1989 and featured Fred Gwynne (aka Fred Munster of The Munsters) as Jud Crandall. Jud knows the secrets of Pet Sematary. A sequel was made in 1992 with Edward Furlong (of Terminator 2). I'll save you the trouble...the sequel sucked. A reboot of the original Pet Sematary was made in 2019 with John Lithgow. I had no idea they rebooted the original.

Anyway, the prequel takes place in 1969. A young Jud and his friends discover the secrets behind Pet Sematary. I hope it includes why it's misspelled as Sematary and not Cemetery. You'd think that proper spelling would be #1 priority for evil forces.

Paramount + released a few photos of the upcoming prequel. To me, the photos/movie look like outtakes from Children of the Corn, Cujo, and a 1990's Halloween goth party. If you're planning to watch it let me know. I'm too cheap to subscribe to Paramount+. 

BTW: does anyone see the irony about all this? Hollywood has made a prequel, sequel, and reboot of Pet Sematary. Did Hollywood bury the original 1989 movie in an ancient studio burial ground as their way to keep resurrecting it?

It's happening right now! This is place to scream about the election; to vent, to rejoice, to grumble, then scream again. I swear, your throat will feel like sandpaper once this day is done. Have you voted yet? Are you in line? Post pictures! Is your heart skipping beats? Do you fear for the future? Of course you do! But crucially, do you have enough booze and pills to get through this? What, exactly, are you taking or drinking? We want to know. And what are you eating? Are you a sugar or salt whore? We want to know that, too.  Leave those who'd rather not discuss such matters to our special Election-Free Open Post , since today, for one day only, we're gettin' real and gettin' dirty  in our own gasping, shrieking, blood-soaked election post. Hold tight.

OPEN POST: We Will Survive!

Rise up, my chickens. We're all worth fighting for.  It won't be easy, it won't be fun, but through the long dark of night and on to a new day, it will surely be worth it. We don't regularly refer to politics in our Open Posts, but today, I think it's worth noting that many of us got through eight long years of Ronald Reagan - and it was a nightmare, and for many of my contemporaries, deadly. But here we are, we're still standing. We'll get through this, too, I promise.  What does this mean in the short-term? Tears, fury, booze, pills, or weed, of course. You have my permission - not that you need it - to comfort yourself however you like for the rest of the week. But come Monday, all bets are off. Bitches won't even see us coming.

OPEN POST: Monday Music At The Manor With DJ Li'l Scratch!

Are you freaking out about the election tomorrow? Me, too. Or maybe you're having a more generalized "It's Monday, oh-my-fucking-gawd" freak out? In either case, please allow Peckerwood Manor's esteemed DJ Li'l Scratch to take you away. Many of you already know about Li'l Scratch, as he regularly lays tracks at "Heavy D's," the Manor's exclusive after-hours club.  Today he's spinning Teri Thornton, a vibrant, husky-voiced jazz singer and piano player who hailed from Detroit. In 1961, she exploded onto the scene with her debut LP, "Devil May Care," demonstrating show-stopping vocal prowess. The reviews were through the roof and so was the public reception, yet just as suddenly - poof - she vanished after a few more LPs, her career thwarted by market changes given the rise of rock 'n' roll. And that was that. She was all but forgotten, reduced to driving a taxi to make ends meet.  But in a jaw-dropping comeback, she re
