I grew up down the street from his house which is called the Fairmount area of Bangor. I still live in the area today. As a kid I would see him on his daily walks by my house with a book in hand reading as he walked. As for what he used to hand out for Halloween I remember King Size Hershey bars. He was and still is a huge part of our community. The Park that you reference across the street from the IT storm drain most all sitting there was built with donations from him and his wife Tabitha. His boys grew up and attended the Bangor schools as well. He coached a lot of youth sport teams his sons played on. He was my brother’s coach on a few teams. He is a very down to earth guy and treated like any other local resident who calls Bangor their home. Hence why the gate stays open. The sculpture in his front yard shown around the 4min mark he just recently had done a little over a year ago. It was carved out of a big old dead ash tree by local chainsaw artist Josh Landry. You don't get much more Mainah than that! 😊 Anyways this was a nicely done video and your Lost Boys filming location brought me here. Love that movie! Now IT is so cool to see you represent my hometown. Cheers to you both!

the scenes of the 'pet semetary' were filmed behind my dads aunts house. Stephen King took her family out to dinner as a thank you for letting him user her back yard as a movie set for how ever long they had to use it. I grew up my entire life hearing this story from my family.

This episode was so incredibly top notch. I want to watch this over and over again.

I grew up reading Steven King books and seeing the movies. I agree with you 100%, Pet Semetary was one of the scariest besides The Shining from when I was a kid. The death of Gage was even more heartbreaking in the book. If you haven't read the book by now, you should. It's better than the movie.

I was thinking the same about Gage’s death scene. That was a heart wrenching scene for me, especially as a 14 year old, and it still makes me cry.

Don't you just love how Stephen King always gets so sort of Cameo in the movies for his books.

Wow! That house still looks EXACTLY the same as it did way back in 1989!

Hearing Rachel scream get the baby!!! Get the baby!! And the flash backs of pictures, is what got me!!!

Fun fact - the cat “actor”, Church (Churchill), was actually my family’s cat. A British Shorthair. My grandmother bred them and it was one of her favorites!

I'm not gonna lie, I'm so beyond impressed with you both! You did some seriously hardcore traveling and hiking to all of those locations and I know because I've done them all myself. Everyone of those places is utterly amazing, and the experience itself is breathtaking physically and visually. Thank for both so much for doing this video! \m/

I've only seen Pet Sematary once in a theater, I passed out when Gage got killed and had to leave and never seen it again, I felt the light headedness when you played the dads scream. Many of his movies have had that effect on me, Cujo, The Shining. Reading his books only gives me freaky dreams which I'm told is a normal thing readers get from his books.

I first read Pet Sematary in 1984 . . . then I sent the book to my thirteen year old sister, Sue. She's still pissed about it. Good Times.

I agree Gage's death in the movie totally freaked me out and broke my heart.

I used to live in Mass and it’s beautiful in Maine, just gorgeous up there. The clean and crisp air, the foliage, the atmosphere, just magical. Really cool you two!

I was pregnant with my son when I first watched Pet Semetary in '89. I even thought about naming him Gage but my husband wasn't fond of it lol. I also remember being so emotional watching it! I can't believe how much everything looks the same all these decades later! What a great video!

i was still in high school when this movie came out--my sister is a few years older and had married and had a toddler about the same age as Gage...this scene had us completely hysterical crying in the theatre. Still the most horrible, just utterly devastating deaths in cinematic history imo--literally all the scary, gory, awful things ever on screen, pale by comparison. King's most powerful work ever🖤

I remember seeing "Pet Cemetery " it terrified me, Stephen King is the best writer ever in my lifetime.. can anyone ever replace him, I highly doubt it, he's one of a kind... thank you both for all the video's and traveling you've done for all of us.. now go enjoy your Holiday's with Friends and Family...

The research, precision and overall effort you put into your video's is phenomenal. Super stuff!!!!!

one of the scariest movies I watched growing up. the gloomy skies created a perfect ambience for this video. also the nature in Maine looks exactly like in my country Sweden. 👍

I used to work in that area years ago and ran into Stephen king a few times at the pharmacy in Bangor.He was friendly and wouldd talk to you if he was not in a hurry.His home is beautiful with that awesome fence and iron gates.Thanks for another great and informative video!!

We went to Stephen King's house in the 1980s for Trick or Treat but they put a stop to it about a year later. Too many people showed up. And my friends provided the funeral items for this movie. McFarland Funeral Home in Bar Harbor, Maine.

Why am I just now finding your channel. This is great and I have been binge watching your videos all day. I love how you show images from the movie and match them with the scenes from your location. You guys are great!

I love that his wife Tabitha said, she was the one to get the bats out of the attic, because he was afraid too! The fact that he admits he's afraid of things makes him even more relatable as a human and a writer! ❤

I grew up in Stephen King Country (Augusta, Maine) and a teacher at my high school was a production assistant for Pet Sematary, he used to wear his crew shirt all the time. And as many times as I've hiked the Bubbles I never realized that's what was in the film.

I saw Pet Sematary for the first time at my 8th birthday party- The book is one of my dad's favorites and was always on the shelf so he was excited for me to see the movie... probably less excited to have four 8 year old girls screaming and pairing up to use the bathroom for the rest of the night out of pure terror 🤭😂

Hi guys, I just found out a dear friend passed from Covid, I'm in shock, very very sad. I'm trying to get it together.I am a huge King fan I read Pet Semetary I just gave an old copy to my son. I love it so much my cat is literally named" Church" !!!! Thank you guys for wiping away a few of my tears if only for a minute. Stay safe!🤗

So happy you have both come to where I was born and still live today, 56 years later. It was such a pleasure watching this and several of your other videos. Maine is such a unique and beautiful place. Stephen King was actually a high school English teacher at my high school, Hampden Academy. Hampden is one of the towns next to Bangor. He wrote Carrie when he was a teacher at Hampden. He didn't think the story was up to par, and initially threw it in the trash. His wife, Tabitha, found the manuscript and read it. She urged him to submit the story to a publisher and the rest is history. The Kings are major philanthropists in our community. I live about 5 miles from his house, and love to see all the tourists gathering around to admire his beautiful home. Keep up the good work, and come back to Bangor soon!

When Louis and his father in law fought and turned Gages coffin over is what got me

This may be one of your best film location videos to date. The amount of details and the superb narrative, beginning and ending at SK's house. Outstanding piece of work kids. Grimm for Life!

There is only one true Pet Semetary movie and that’s the 1989 one 💪 Great video guys!

I did all these locations too last year in October but you guys missed the opportunity to see the Red Peterbilt semi that hit Gage. It is still around in fact about 2 hours north of Bangor in a town called Princeton, it is on the property of a tow yard and I drove up there to see it and even climbed inside of it as it was unlocked and it has a plaque on the dashboard reading “This Perterbilt was custom made for Stephen King’s Pet Sematary” … it was very cool to see!! Great video guys I loved seeing these locations again through your video.

I've spied Stephen Kings house as a passerby!! I use to live in Maine I had no idea though that the filming location of the actual Pet Sematary was actually in Ellsworth Maine!!. I'm pretty sure I went by that large grave yard in Ellsworth several times as a kiddo. This is definitely a cool video thanks for sharing this!!

I absolutely LOVE Stephen King! All of the places you two have visited in New England are on my bucket list, and just add Bangor, Maine to that! Pet Sematary is one of the classic scary movies I watched as a kid and I STILL love today. Stephen King books turned into movies have always been my favorites. Dolores Claiborne was another favorite. I could go on and on.

The bumper sticker "Have you hugged your M.D. today" was the creepiest thing about this.

The "climbing roots" location is not where you were at. It is on a foot trail called Deer Brook Trail approximately 50 yards above and west of the Deer Brook Bridge carriage road. The tree with the notch in it in the film is still there, and the roots are still there on each side of the trail. You'll KNOW it when you see it. It really hasn't changed much, I wish I could post my pics here 🙂. Easy access for film crew from the carriage road. Hope this helps future seekers.

I would love to travel with u guys. I love to sightsee the same way, walking, relaxing soaking it in and finding information of the backstories.

You guys are absolutely killing it. Thank you so much for sharing all your adventures.

Such a beautiful place!

This was the very first movie to ever scare me as a kid! And I have to say, rewatching this movie as an adult with children of my own now, it just hits sooo different! Its way darker and scarier than I ever thought as a child! I completely agree with him, this is the scariest thing he's ever written, and its because it is so realistic and every parents absolute worst nightmare!

As a lifelong fan of SK, Pet Semetary being my favourite novel (not just from SK but of everything I've ever read) I loved this video. I was a teenager when I first read it (I'm 49 now), and the description of Gage's death has stayed with me to this day, horrifying details there's no way you could put into a film even now. Thanks for a fantastic video, I may need to go read it again now

As a child growing up there were 3 films that terrified me. The exorcist which my mother wanted to see when I was 9, and till this day is horrifying still to me. Carrie was another one that gave me nightmares. And the movie burnt offerings, Am a big fan of these movies still to this day. Totally love your videos and the grimmcollective, keep up the great work. Have you done one on burnt offerings at the Dunsmuir house.

15:31 it’s the gut wrenching scream that really gets to you

I live in Bangor and I've seen Pet Sematary quite a few times. Usually my favorite time to watch the movie was around Halloween. I only discovered this video several months after the fact and I've always wondered where the filming locations in Maine were from the movie. I knew Mount Hope Cemetery was one location, but I've always wondered about the others like the Micmac burial ground. Thanks for revealing the exact location of those places. It inspires me to possibly go out and visit them this summer when I have the time.

This is one of my favorite videos you have made. The atmosphere, the scenery, the feeling of autumn. I could seriously feel, and smell fall. Keep the amazing videos coming!

My favorite book of Stephen King’s is “Gerald’s Game”. Talk about a nightmare!! Lol Great job on the video you two! Another home run!!

I tell my boyfriend how amazing this channel is . U guys are creating such a wonderful fan base and I’m glad to see your channel grow . When are you guys doing another live stream while watching a movie . I want to get in on that with my boyfriend . I bless you guys beyond belief . You both are the Best . This video not only shows your dedication but creativity , personality and sensitivity and love the comic relief . Peace !

I was a junior in high school when I saw this movie in the theater after reading book 2 years earlier. Thank you for taking me down memory lane! I love your videos, keep up the great work. x

As a kid, Judd was possibly the scariest part of this entire movie. Lol

The novel upset me for weeks after I read it ..Gage was absolutely horrifying and his death scene in the 1989 movie was disturbing. Thank you for bringing us to the site..sooo much appreciated. ❤️

Holy Moly!!! I can’t stop watching your videos!!! You’re so thorough in your descriptions, and putting screen shots and photos in your videos is epic. It really feels like I’m there. Michael and Jennifer, thank you for all you do to bring us these incredible videos Beautiful Souls. They’re SPOOKTACULAR!!! ‘Happy Halloween!!!’ ♥️🤟🏽💀

One of my favorite scary movies!!! I loved when you showed Stephen Kings house!! It is awesome!!!

I am a huge Stephen King fan love all of his work he is amazing.

Awesome video! Makes me already miss October and my favorite Holiday. You can have Christmas give me the candy and skulls!

Wow!! Another amazing video, thank you so much for taking all of us with you!! I was so hoping Steven was going to come walking out of his house and invite you two in!! Love you two!!! 🎃

Loved this video. By the way, I just watched that cemetery scene again and I think that cross you guys found was a prop from the movie. Sooo cool! I loved it.

The death scene of the baby scarred me for life. I remember the theater I was at, the payphone I used to call my mom to pick me and my friend up, and the look of my dog's eyes when I opened the car door. I think I was 12...? horrific!!!

Okay, Stephen King's house is officially my dream house! I couldn't imagine a more amazing place! 🕸

Pet Semetary one of the best horrors from my list of favourites. I was a teen when it came out and yes, Pascow used to freak me out…. This video was amazing!! Thanks so much 🖤you are so lucky to have experienced this!

Thanks sooo much for doing this! I didn't read the book but the movie is one of my absolute favorites. I will NEVER forget watching the scene where Gage dies. I was in a theater and there was this collective gasp. It gets to me every time I watch it. I actually named one of my cats Church after this lol. What a beautiful and interesting cemetery btw.

Goosebumps-galore when the large truck rolled past in the background as you stood by the creek.

The part in this movie when the kid has the scalpel and cuts the guy in his Achilles heel has imprinted in my brain and traumatizes me ever since 😳

Your filming location videos are fantastic! I appreciate the time and research that you put into these videos. Thanks for sharing!

This was excellent! Stephen King is 1 of my fav authors. Both “It” and “Pet Cemetary” were better in written form than in movie form. Both of you have GOT to read Pet Cemetary especially. Love your videos!!

Omg! thanks for made this, my favorite movie in the all world. Hugs from Brazil🇧🇷 💕

It's a pleasure to watch your locations videos. Greetings from Brazil.

This video gave me so many emotions from goosebumps to sadness to being in awe truly an amazing video as always I so love you guys and that you do what you do and I also absolutely love your intro lol

I currently live about a mile from Stephen Kings house, but years ago when Stephen King lived in Orrington, my home town where I grew up, there was an actual pet cemetery behind the church on the center drive road and behind Stephen Kings house in Orrington which was the inspiration to the movie Pet Cemetery.

Wonderful job, friends! Truly enjoyable and I felt as though I was there with you both! Thank you for taking me, and all of us, on this journey that many of us will never get to realize. God bless, safe travels, and keep up the great work! Happy 2022 to you both and best wishes! Take care and thanks again. Really fun to travel with you guys.

I found your channel last month and have been watching several of your videos. Your knowledgeable collection of camera angles, film history, and behind-the-scenes information ties everything together. Your narration throughout the video is spot-on, as is your editing. Thank you for taking the time to visit these locations and share them with all of us. You two really do a fantastic job.

Such a scary movie and the locations are amazing and beautiful. This series just keeps getting better. Thank you so much for sharing. Happy Halloween!

I love your enthusiasm in this video! Really cool to see the filming locations of such an iconic movie. This was a super scary movie I saw as an 80’s kid and it has stood the test of time. Thanks for all the work bringing us this video. One of my favorites of you guys for sure!

Yep, this is exactly what I would expect Stephen King's house to look like!💯😱👻

This is probably my favorite video from your channel. Beautifully done, you lined the scenes up perfectly. Really enjoyed this video. What an amazing journey. Well done!

Stephen King, the only author to give me nightmares. Met him at a book signing, nice man. Great video, as usual. 💝

Not just Steven King wrote books but he also played in them in films as well which is pretty interesting

Right towards the end of the video, the trees began to speak. Excellent job guys...

Christine is my favorite Stephen King story too . I'd love you guys to visit that location . I also appreciate the effort you guys make to bring us these great video's . It's always time well spent . Be safe .

You guys are such a blessing. I love and appreciate what you guys do and this video specifically really takes the cake for me. I love Stephen King and Pet Sematary is the scariest novel I have ever read and the film was terrifying. I cannot believe how beautiful it is up there. (Btw I didn't know you were from the Burgh, my husband and I are too. Mount Lebanon and Bethel Park specifically) which is cool . Thank you guys for this 🖤😭 You and Jessica are the best.

When i was a Kid, i watched the Movie alone by night. I was round about 10. Back that Day, my Love for Horromovies started. All Parts with Pascow scared me. Until today, i get Goosebumps when Pascow is visiting Louis by night. His Look, his Voice, the Music ...everything is thrilling.

My mom was like 6 years old when this came out, we just watched it together. Now I'm watching this video. The Gage seen made me cry

I love Stephen King. This is an awesome video. Christine is my favorite story. But in the Pet Sematary book, Gage was decapitated when the truck hit him and his hat filled up with blood. When Louis disinterred Gage his head was unstable. So there are discrepancies between his novels and the movies. The books give a deeper character analysis, though. Thank you for uploading this video.

Soooo cool! All the locations you visited and the way you both talked about were pretty enjoyable 👏

This was my favorite movie as a child I’d watch it over and over again. I was more scared of Zelda than I was gage lol. Such a great video how cool to be able to be there. Amazing!

My mom read every Steven King book ever written up until 2011 when she passed away.

Most stunning film location video you ever made!

Absolutely stunning! This is one of the best vlogs you have ever done! It is so wild to see the spots that inspired his works and The Pet Semetary filming locations. I don't always get a chance to watch, but when I do, I always enjoy it so much. Thank You!

I absolutely loved this spooktacular adventure 😀

Thank you for sharing Stephen King's home! I'm thrilled to see it. I would have loved if he came out to see you! Excellent editing! I forgot Fred Gwynn (Herman Munster) was in the movie. My all time favorite movie/book is The Stand. The scariest was Salems' Lot and It (the original).

If I had to guess, I would say its at 27:20 that you are hitting the area they actually used in the movie, and yes it looks like stairs were carved in. It seems like the right elevation.

Thank you GrimLifeCollective! Currently I’m going through rough times, and your uploads bring me happiness. Please keep up the grand work

I read this book back in 1988. I was at college, right before Christmas brea. Scared the crap outta me. I came home, and my grandma passed. Anyway, this book scared me so bad, it's the reason I'm going to be creamated.

My daughter works for publix in Venice FL. She is a butcher and mgr of the meat dept. Steven and his wife comes into her store when they are down for the winter. She cuts their meat and says they are the nicest ppl. He has signed several of his books for her.

The rock piles at 35:41 are from blueberry harvesting. On both sides of the path you walked up are wild blueberry barrens. Workers and field owners chuck the rocks into piles out of their way. The carved tree on Stephen’s property has many features that relate to his books. First time to your channel, well done.

Love your Work! Love your passion and how you narrate your deliverance! You both stay well, safe and will be excited to catch you both on the next one, love watching from New Zealand with LOve!

The wife and I just had our son and we are house hunting. I’ve passed up many beautiful homes on county roads because of this movie. All I can imagine is my son running into the road and bam!!!

This is one of my favorite Stephen King movies

I remember loving this movie as a kid (a strange one for a kid to love! 😂) but never saw Gages death scene until I was in my early 20’s. My parents always made me cover my eyes as they would fast forward through it. Seeing it for the first time as an adult absolutely gutted me. I have a hard time watching the movie now as an adult!

I loved this video. So much information, you both go way and BEYOND! From George’s head stone for IT, carries headstone 🪦 for the movie for Carrie, the storm drain that inspired the scene for it, I love his house! His gate, STEPEN KING IS EVERYTHING! THANK YOU AGAIN!

Woaaa there are so many inspirations of Stephen King’s novels in this city!

that perfect fall day is perfect for your trip
