Death was a vague idea; the Pet Sematary was real. In the texture of those rude markers were truths which even a child’s hands could feel.” “Dead fields under a November sky, scattered rose petals brown and turning up at the edges, empty pools scummed with algae, rot, decomposition, dust. His neighbor, Jud Crandall, wanted to help and lead Louis with the dead cat to the Pet Sematary where he buried Church. The next day, Louis surprisingly found Church in the garage. At first, Louis thought that he buried the wrong cat yesterday, but then he noticed strange changes in Church's behavior.

Contents Character ConceptionThe storyline of Pet Sematary was inspired by Stephen King's own real-life experience when he and his family lived on the busy streets in Orrington as he wrote the novel.The said street claimed the lives of pets that prompt Stephen's neighbors in that area built a cemetery for the said unfortunate pets where one of them was his daughter's pet Smucky. When Stephen discovers that his daughter still grief-stricken by Smucky's demise, this inspired Stephen for creating the Church character for his story, Pet Sematary.HistoryChurch was originally a cute, playful, and kittenish cat, who was loved by his owner, Ellie, and her family. However, he was run over by a truck. Ellie wasn't at home that time, but she had a dream about his death and was terrified. When her father, Louis, found Church's body, he didn't know how to tell Ellie about that. His neighbor, Jud Crandall, wanted to help and lead Louis with the dead cat to the where he buried Church.The next day, Louis surprisingly found Church in the garage. At first, Louis thought that he buried the wrong cat yesterday, but then he noticed strange changes in Church's behavior.

The cat was languid, clumsy and stolid. Moreover, he smelled terribly. When Ellie returned home, she no longer wanted to play with him. Since that, the whole Creed family started avoiding Church, by kicking and throwing him out the house, but he was always able to get inside somehow. Church also became very violent and killed many birds, mice, and rats, and left their crippled bodies lying around the house.Jud then revealed to Louis the truth about the Pet Sematary: everything buried there was brought back to life.

Many people buried their animals there, but only one (the bull) was violent after they were revived.After Louis' son, was killed by a truck, Louis buries him in the Pet Sematary, too. Gage returned to life, but he was no longer the sweet and kind child, but a violent, homicidal, and emotionless maniac. Gage stole Louis' scalpel and walked into their neighbor, Jud Crandall's house along with Church. Jud tried to protect himself with a knife, but Church jumped on him, and forced him to drop it.

Gage then jumps on the old man and stabbed Jud to death. They both then conned Gage's mother, Rachel and killed her, too.When Louis headed to Jud's house to stop Gage, he saw Church in the garden. Louis decoyed Church with a raw steak and pricked him the lethal injection, which killed him for once and all.

After he killed Gage, Louis soaked the house in kerosene, set it on fire, and left all of the bodies except Rachel's inside.Gallery Images.

Well the zombie virus doesn't kill people unless you're bitten or infected by an active strain. So assuming you killed someone brought them back via the cursed soil then they'd be fine so long as they aren't bitten by a walker. But it's all theory since i can't remember how quickly resurrection happens in the sematary and once they die a conventional death the virus starts turning them within minutes. So could be they'd turn long before you could bury them or turn before the sematary revives them cursed. I'm erring on the side that curse beats space spores everytime and would keep them going even if biten by a walker after resurrection. Well, if we're going by Walking Dead or Romero rules, reanimation can take time.For Romero rules, reanimation can take up to 24 hours.If the soil gets to them first, does the supernatural zombie beat the Romero zombie manufacturing mechanism?I've heard a few theories over it. One being that everyone turns when they die, and that the zombie bite just causes sepsis because of cosmic radiation or etcetera.If it's pre-burial bites that outright killed them, I don't think they'd be ressurected as a zombie, unless they ressurected before the burial ground brought them back as a weird demonic thing.

If they were like five minutes before turning into a zombie, I think they would turn into a zombie.If they were killed and brought back promptly by the pet sematary, I reckon those deathly wounds are disregarded, and they would come back to life as the fucked up Pet Sematary demon zombies. But if they were bitten after they were ressurected, I think they'd get sick and die a second time and resurrect a second time due to the virus.

If they can die of morphine, which necessitates a working cardiovascular system to the heart, then the zombie virus would have things to play on. The curse of the Wendigo will definitely override whatever is causing the dead to return in Walking Dead. They'll wake up still rotting and maybe even still carrying the walker plague, but they won't be a walker. I'd say that a Pet Semetary ghoul is actually far more dangerous in this scenario, the Walkers won't target them because they are dead, but they'll be trying to cause as much pain and misery as possible so they'll probably tear down defenses, open gates, and use firearms to screw over the survivors as much as possible.
