Stephen King’s iconic works have seen numerous adaptations over the years, and Pet Sematary is no exception. The novel, first published in 1983, was made into a film in 1989 and then remade in 2019. Now, a prequel called “Pet Sematary: Bloodlines” is in the works, focusing on young Jud Crandall’s story, set 50 years before the 2019 movie. As Jud seeks to escape Ludlow, the town’s dark secrets and malevolent forces conspire to keep him there.

The Plot
The events shown in the 2019 film Pet Sematary are explained in Pet Sematary: Bloodlines, which acts as a
prequel. The film, which takes place in 1969 (50 years before the events of Pet Sematary), is focused on a
young Jud Crandall. Jud’s ambition is straightforward for a young man just beginning to stretch his wings:
to permanently leave his hometown of Ludlow. However, the evil that dwells in Ludlow’s cursed grounds
soon emerges, and Jud and his companions find themselves up against a powerful, age-old force that has
the ability to wipe out everything. Audiences may anticipate learning the precise reason why Jud spent a
lifetime imprisoned in the place he first yearned to leave when they see Bloodlines, which is expected to
dramatically build upon the mythos of Pet Sematary.
The official plot synopsis for the film via Paramount+ reads:
In 1969, a young Jud Crandall has dreams of leaving his hometown of Ludlow, Maine behind, but soon discovers sinister secrets buried within and is forced to confront a dark family history that will forever keep him connected to Ludlow. Banding together, Jud and his childhood friends must fight an ancient evil that has gripped Ludlow since its founding, and once unearthed has the power to destroy everything in its path. Based on the untold chapter from Pet Sematary, Stephen King’s chilling novel, PET SEMATARY: BLOODLINES is a terrifying prequel and the untold story of why sometimes dead is better…
