10 Horror Movies You Didn’t Know Were Connected

Outside of both novels pertaining to themes of animals going murderous and the tragic death of children, both Pet Sematary and Cujo actually share a much greater link than many would be lead to believe and their subsequent film adaptations paid tribute to this nugget of information.

Part-way through the recent re-telling of Pet Sematary, resident harbinger of doom Jud Crandall can be heard telling another attendee at Ellie's birthday party a story about a giant dog nearby that went crazy and killed people. To some, this could just be a throwaway line of dialogue, but for anyone that's familiar with the works of Stephen King, this can mean only one thing:

The rabies-riddled hound from hell Cujo.

Given that both Pet Sematary and Cujo are written by King - a man known for interconnectivity within his work - it seems only natural that these two stories would crossover. The version of Maine that King writes about is a hotbed for bad luck and supernatural shenanigans, and this one little connection helps to further contextualise the strange and macabre world of King's work.

I guess this means we're one step closer to the King Cinematic Universe.
