Pet Sematary (1989) - Score - Elliot Goldenthal; Pet Sematary 1 and 2 - Extended Soundtrack - VA; Pet Sematary 2 (1992) - Score - Mark Governor

Hard to believe it was over twenty years ago I sat in a darkened theater to watch the original 'Pet Sematary' with my Father. Going to horror movies was my way of connecting with my Dad - some guys went to the field or park to toss a ball around, we went to see scary flicks. I doubt there was any important 80's horror movie we didn't see ...'Hellraiser,' 'House,' 'They Live,' even stuff like 'LifeForce' and 'Leviathan' - we saw it all. There was no other horror movie released during that time that scared me more than 'Pet Sematary,' though. Directed by Mary Lambert from a script written by King himself (adapted from a book he swore never to 'sell to Hollywood'), 'Pet Sematary' is a rollercoaster ride of indelibly horrifying images and subversive emotional nuances, well-acted and superbly executed on almost every level: production, scoring, pacing, editing, etc. - there is the stamp of true craftsmanship in all departments. It's one of those rare horror films that fulfills the grotesque needs of the horror genre, while also functioning on its own subversive, bizarre emotional level - it is a horror movie with something to say, and it beckons you to go on its dark journey ... much in the way the path in the Creed's backyard beckons Louis to 'go beyond' the barrier that was not meant to be crossed. Fangoria readers voted it best horror movie of 1989, and it is undoubtedly one of the best horror movies of the 80's, ranking alongside the likes of philosophical fright flicks like the original 'Nightmare On Elm Street' and Cronenberg's 'The Fly.' Adam Green (director of 'Hatchet') talks about an entire generation of upcoming horror directors who are always looking to sneak a 'Zelda moment' into their movie - you fans know what I'm talking about ;). One of the reasons 'Pet Sematary' is such a scary thrill ride (besides Zelda - yikes) is definitely Elliot Goldenthal's haunting music for the movie. It contains echoes of Lalo Schifrin's work from 'The Amityville Horror,' with its tender piano themes propelled by the disturbing echo of a children's choir, highlighted by more suspenseful tracks with thunderous synth undercurrents that explode into nerve-shredding violin shrieks. I remember when I first obtained a copy of this cd from Varese Sarabande (sans the Ramones tracks), it didn't leave my disc player for a month.

Needless to say, I was more than a little excited when 'Pet Sematary 2' opened in theaters in 1992. I went and saw it a few times during its brief, unsuccessful theatrical run. The audiences I saw the film with loved it, but they were mostly teenagers - and teenagers were those for whom this script was so obviously aimed. As a wacky horror movie for teens, 'Pet Sematary 2' works just fine; more than fine, actually. There wasn't a whole lot going on in the world of horror in the early 90's ... it was a dismal time for fright flicks in general. The best the studios had to offer was watered-down big-star high-brow 'horror' soap-operas like Coppola's 'Dracula,' Branagh's 'Frankenstein,' and the Jack Nicholson vehicle 'Wolf' (this was shortly before 'Scream' burst onto the scene and changed the genre forever). So, as a gory little vintage 90's zombie flick made for considerably less money than the original, 'Pet Sematary 2' delivers the goods - and at least it's never boring. It's got great performances (Clancy Brown's best performance, IMHO), top notch cinematography, well-staged action, the best demon-dog in the history of cinema, and a KICK-ASS SOUNDTRACK! Which brings me to a subject of bitter resentment: 'PS2' contains one of the most interesting, eclectic collection of rock songs ever put together for a horror flick, and the Powers That Be never put forth the effort to release a soundtrack! My hunch is that after the movie sorta tanked at the box office, they just didn't think it was worth the $$$$ to release a cd. Boy, they were wrong. Over fifty times now I have run into people who ask how to get a copy of the 'Pet Sematary 2' score and/or soundtrack. All I can tell them is, "You gotta make your own. I did." Well, thanks to your good friends here at the Inferno Music Vault, you no longer have to spend countless days compiling songs from random cd's and downloads to collect the excellent music from 'PS 2.' For those of you who have a semi-complete soundtrack for this already, rest assured: this is the most complete collection you're likely to find for a great long while, if not forever. The hard-working folks here at Inferno have put together the definitive 'PS2' soundtrack/score package, complete with: rare Mark Governor score tracks, the full- length version of Traci Lords' "Love Never Dies" (in GREAT quality), Miranda Sex Garden's haunting 'Gush Forth My Tears (heard as Geoff's Mother bursts into flames), two versions of the 'Lulabox' song that plays at the tail end of the closing credits, as well as various remixes and alternate versions of numerous songs -it's all here! A lot of work has gone into making this sucker a stellar soundtrack for all fans to enjoy. Enjoy, everyone!
