Stephen King's chilling tale of a burial ground that brings the dead back wrong has been adapted and expanded across several films. Here's how to watch the Pet Sematary movies in order.
Pet Sematary is one of Stephen King's most terrifying stories, centered on a cursed burial ground that resurrects the dead with horrifying consequences. The novel has been adapted twice, and a prequel later explored the origins of the sinister ground, giving horror fans a small but potent franchise.
π Release Order
Release order tracks the Pet Sematary films from the original adaptation through the remake and prequel.
- Pet Sematary (1989)
- Pet Sematary Two (1992)
- Pet Sematary (2019)
- Pet Sematary: Bloodlines (2023)
Because Bloodlines is a prequel and the 2019 film is a remake, chronological order rearranges these entries around the town of Ludlow's dark history.
π Story Chronology
Bloodlines takes place decades before the main story, exploring the burial ground's early evil. The 1989 original and 2019 remake both adapt the core Creed family tragedy, so you only need one of them, followed by the 1992 sequel.
- Pet Sematary: Bloodlines (2023) β the prequel origin
- Pet Sematary (1989) β the Creed family tragedy
- Pet Sematary Two (1992) β a new family in Ludlow
Which Order Should You Choose?
Start with the 1989 original β it's the classic adaptation and the scariest of the bunch. The 2019 remake is a solid modern alternative, while Pet Sematary Two and Bloodlines are optional extras for completists. Release order works fine, but if you love backstory, Bloodlines makes an eerie starting point.
