Pet Sematary Filming Locations - Then and Now

so I'm up here in Maine doing the filming locations to the 1989 classic Pet Sematary and what better place to start than Stephen King's house check that out that you've never seen a gate like that before so getting onto the first location [Music] so this is Lewis Creed's house where the majority of the movie takes place and it looks pretty much the same across the street was Judds house and the interesting thing about that is this is not the house that was used they actually built a like a facade they built the structure on top of the house and so that way when they burned it in the movie it didn't destroy that house so that is not even used Louis creed travel I live just across the road you won't watch out that road them damn trucks go back and forth all day and most of the night [Music] and they were sitting right there in the picnic table so when they were flying the kite it was right here and as you can see the road is right here and this is right where the truck comes [Music] unfortunately gage gets hit by that truck and killed and we are introduced to the red that red scary truck so this is where that tree used to be that the little girl Ellie was swinging on I believe it was right here so when she was swinging back and forth you could see path which was right here and the camera was kind of doing one of these do you know where it goes uh-huh that's a good story good walk I'll take out that sometime the story so once you get down here down the bottom of the hill there is some some trees but then it just goes to a river and as pretty as that is unfortunately there's no pet cemetery so you may be surprised to know or not that there actually isn't a pet cemetery down in this woods the trail came down and then it just ended and the pet cemetery is in a different town so I'm gonna take you there right now it says pet cemetery honey that's what it says so this is the original location to the pet cemetery now you have to bear with me it's been a long time so there and there's really nothing left but this is it this oval-shaped area is all that's left of the pet cemetery so the center would have been right here which means this is right where spot would have been buried which was Judds dog that's where I buried my dog spot when he died of old age 1924 so the area that they climb over that huge pile of brush was right here now how I can tell is you can still line up the piles of rocks they're still here so for instance these piles of rocks right here are in one of the shots they claim over it right here he's on the other side of that I find it's on or two before so Judd and Lewis climb over that brush continuing on to the Mi'kmaq burial ground and that's actually made up of three different locations so I'm gonna take you to all three of them right now [Music] so this is the first of three locations that make up the Mi'kmaq Trail and things have changed here a little bit there were no stairs in the movie but we are inside beautiful Acadia National Park and to make things easier for hikers they change this probably relatively treacherous Trail two steps just to help people they get up to the top it's obvious that they chose this area because of the creepy looking tree roots and while most of the bigger ones have been removed there are still some that exist right alongside the stairs so now we're on to the second location [Music] you keep saying that all right this is the second location this is a quarry an old quarry look at that view so funny enough walking around this abandoned quarry doing the pet cemetery filming locations I come across some animal bones pretty ironic so after Judd and Louis leave this area they continue up to the Mi'kmaq burial ground and that's where we're headed right now [Music] what is this place [Music] this was that burial wrong whose burial ground Indians I brought you here to bury Ellen's cache why for God's service I said why Jud so this is the Mi'kmaq burial ground this is where Judd initially takes Louis and then he ends up burying gage when they come up the hill they pass the giant rock which is right there that huge rock over there there's a quick scene of Judd lighting a cigarette you can see the giant rock in the shot and you can see that lake way off in the distance but this is it [Music] so Lewis tries to take into the grounds with his pick and finds out that it's completely solid and it is true it's complete it's all rock up here it's like a weird natural circular kind of rock and this is by far some of the oddest land I've ever seen I have no idea why this is like this this these piles could have been made for the movie and maybe some of them are still here but as you walk up here on a trail there's giant rocks and piles of boulder all over the place it is the weirdest land I can see why they chose this area for the for the burial ground and it sits up high and it's extremely windy up here pretty cool place alright so this is the Ellsworth City Hall and this is where this is the makeshift hospital and they bring in Victor who was hit by the truck bring him up these stairs [Applause] they're bringing him up these stairs and they're telling the nurses that he got hit by a truck they come through here and this is actually the police station here too so this is it this is the this is the makeshift hospital room that they bring them so it's really it just trying to be quiet in here because it's it's the city hall this is what it looks like now and now may the Lord bless you and keep you may the Lord make his face to shine upon you and comfort you and lift you up and give you peace when Stephen King is playing the priest the service is being held right here you can see this white grave with the flat top you can see this cross you can see some of the taller crosses way off in the distance everything is right here and after the service Judd and Luis stand up and they start walking right through here and they walk right up to the cars the Hurst's and everyone's cars are parked right up here on this road and this is where they have a conversation my father used to have a saying Judd God sees the truth but waits just on the side of the cemetery Luis pulls up in the station wagon parks right next to this fence throws his bag of tools and shovels over the next scene is just up the hill so right here the ground is all wet but this is where Luis is sitting looking over gages grave contemplating digging him up and burying him in the mi'kmaq burial ground remember doc the barrier was not meant to be crossed the ground [Applause] all right so this is where the trucks come out of this is some sort of a refinery plant you can see these structures in the background comes right out of this gated area makes it right goes down to the road and then you see the next shot [Music] [Music] don't let go [Music] Stephen King's Pet Sematary movie locations video would not be complete without the truck here you go this is the actual truck from the movie stored away in this old abandoned junkyard so yeah this is the shot when he's driving and he's listening to the Ramones oh there's actually a plaque custom-built for Stephen King's Pet Sematary way up in northern Maine I don't know how long this has been sitting here but this this is it the old Peterbilt so this incredible find here ends my filming locations video for Pet Sematary hope you loved it it was amazing and especially finding this truck I'll see you in the next video thanks for watching guys you
