A NEW CHAPTER ON A STEPHEN KING CLASSIC IS ON IT’S WAY WITH ‘PET SEMATARY: BLOODLINES
Horror prequels are sometimes the ‘unsung heroes’ of most horror franchises. There aren’t many out there, but for those that are, they give us a chance to see insights to the beginning of a horror villain and what set them on the path towards darkness (can’t wait for that ‘Friday the 13th’ prequel series. Also still waiting for a ‘Buffalo Bill’ prequel movie Hollywood). These prequels show us the torment, depravity and even sometimes the justified revenge story plots that make well-loved horror movies they type we gleefully enjoy watching while we are on the edge of our seats. With that being said, I know all of us are going to be excited to see this upcoming prequel!
Paramount+ recently announced the official premiere date for its upcoming original film ‘Pet Sematary: Bloodlines’, based on the terrifying and untold chapter from Stephen King’s novel ‘Pet Sematary’.
