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?

Can you hear this painting like I can? Hone in on a conversation; what are they discussing? There's music playing; what does it sound like? There's an aroma in the air; what does it smell like? Who is your favorite guest? What's their name? What are they wearing? The little girl at the top of the stairs - what does she think of it all? Who are her parents? How long has she been there? Why is she there? How long until she's discovered and sent back to bed? Decades have passed; does she remember this night still? BTW, looking for Peckerwood's Weekly Lunocracy Post? It's  RIGHT HERE .

OPEN POST: Manor Music Monday With Barbara Cartland!

Are you off work yet? Are you ready to throw a swingin' party? That means making party music mixes, right? And, yes, you must throw in a WTF song in the middle of the mix just to mess with everyone. For example, say you're throwing a New Years Eve party with a bunch of cooler-than-cool jazz or house music tracks; in the middle if it, throw in this song . I guarantee everyone will squeal with delight. In fact, throwing that song into any mix is always a good move.  Want more ideas for WTF songs to drop into your mixes? DJ Li'l Scratch has got you covered. But first, let's pause for a moment. This is important. Why? Because this is the definition of beauty: The face: like a pale, English Cream Custard (which is just a bit overcooked). The jewelry: made from the finest diamonelles money can buy. The eyes: with their exquisite baby tarantula eyelashes (the eye shadow is their after-birth). I'm overcome, I can barely breathe. And, no, this is not RichBitch. She is, of c...
