Talk:Pet Sematary

message: Edited the plot on the page towards the end, but I need to check the book for any other differences...as whomever wrote out the plot guidelines last made them for the FILM, not for the book, which is what this section is obviously for. (see "history" for evidence of this). Any additional help in reverting the plot section from movie to book would be appreciated!

text: Personally I find it best to limit plot summaries to what actually happens rather than to speculate on motivations and such. For instance, saying Louis does something because he feels guilt is fine if the text says he feels guilt, but saying why he feels guilt would seem to me to be a no-no unless the book clearly indicated what the contributing factors were. Just my thoughts. DonIago (talk) 14:42, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: Plot

message: I deleted from the plot summary line about Zelda: 
:— an issue which is brought up several times in flashbacks.) 
The novel is told mostly from Louis's POV: there aren't any "flashback"s in the narrative sense, although Rachel tells the story of Zelda's death to Louis and then imagines that she sees Zelda when she's actually seeing the Gage-zombie. Thus reference to flashbacks in the novel plot-summary is inaccurate. The movie does use flashbacks to depict Zelda. Ellsworth 23:36, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Zelda flashbacks? 

message: The intro to this article I think should not contain any reference to the monkey's paw - this should go into a different section. And it certainly should not assume knowledge about the story (some people may not know what "the second wish" was). Satchfan 06:09, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Intro 

message: The film Pet Sematary 2 was, according to IMDb, less of a money-maker, but, in fairness, it was made on a smaller budget.  Since the "secret" of the cemetery was already known from the first film, the only draw, perhaps, was what other craziness would result from reanimating other deceased.
IMDb also indicates (but, in early July 2009, without any details at all) that another film named Pet Sematary is in the works for 2010.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.79.234.183 (talk) 15:02, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Other treatments 

message: Is "The name on one of the graves is Pennywise, the demonic clown from It." from the book, or the movie?  I can't find a reference to Pennywise in the book.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Qwafl42 (talk • contribs) 05:00, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I just finished reading the book a moment ago, and I can assure you that it made no reference to Pennywise (although there were a couple mentions of Derry, Maine, the setting of It). I picked up on several of the allusions to King's other writings, and such a reference as that would have been jarringly obvious. As to whether Pennywise is mentioned in the film I cannot say, as I have yet to see it. —MearsMan talk 12:47, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

text: I think it should be mentioned that the Kenduskeag River as well as Derry were mentioned by Jud. Both places were in the novel "It".
Derry was also in "Insomnia." (Aneil4lom (talk) 04:12, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: When Jud is first talking about the pets that are buried in the "Pet Sematary", he talks about no longer being able to keep raccoons as pets, due to rabies, and then segues to "a big old St Bernard [that] went rabid downstate a couple of years ago and killed four people", an obvious reference to Cujo, but I haven't seen any references to Pennywise, other than the mentioned references to Derry.

text: How could there be any reference to a book he had not even written yet?Hellblazer1138 (talk) 14:50, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it should be "Links to other King works" like on the page for "It" as opposed to references. (Aneil4lom (talk) 04:12, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  References to other King Works 

message: I think it would be wise to put a section in about the writing process of this novel, with details of the trouble he had writing it. --BuddyOfHolly (talk) 01:24, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Writing Process 

message: would it be worth mentioning the ramones references in the book, in this article?
such as louis on several times thinking hey-ho, let's go to himself. and that he books the motel room in the name "dee dee ramone".  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Elrox (talk • contribs) 22:35, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't believe such things are generally appropriate for inclusion unless third-party sources have taken note of them in some manner. Doniago (talk) 13:35, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Ramones 

message: The Film, TV or theatrical adaptations section gets into too much detail, IMO. Do we need to know that a man was cast for the character of Zelda? What about the Ramones' contributions and Maine filming locations? All of these would be better off in the Pet Sematary film article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Charger2 (talk • contribs) 20:30, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Section on film adaptation too detailed? 

message: Why is cemetery spelt wrongly in the title? Or is that how Americans spell 'cemetery'? VenomousConcept (talk) 09:38, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: This is how the author spells it. It's because the pet cemetery was created by children who did not know how to spell. Charger2 (talk) 13:33, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I attempted to answer this question in this edit but it was reverted as unsourced and not belonging in the plot summary.  I found it on IMDB and Yahoo Answers, both not reputable sources, but referencing the introduction in the book itself.  I do not have the book to look at the introduction and provide a citation for the explanation. -- ke4roh (talk) 13:14, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: If you can accurately source it to the book that is fine. But it doesn't belong in the plot summary because that is not part of the plot. I think it might fit in the "Origin and inspiration section". Sundayclose (talk) 22:27, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

message: I think so there should be a section of reception talking about its reviews by other reviewers and been in top lists😊😊 Taha Hassan 21 (talk) 18:33, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Your request is difficult to understand. Could you please reword it? I think I understand that you would like to have reviews of the book in the article. What do you mean by "been in top lists"? And if you are asking for edits to the article, please provide reliable sources. Sundayclose (talk) 19:03, 16 May 2023 (UTC)

replies: text: No I didn't misunderstand. I am saying if you want a reception section, please provide reliable source on which it will be based. Wikipedia is a collaborative project.
