10 Horror Remakes You Had No Idea Were In The Works

Stephen King adaptations are up the wazoo these days, and even Dark Tower's critical obliteration doesn't look like it will stop them in their tracks.

More are on the roadmap, and a remake of 1989's dark resurrection fest Pet Sematary with Andy Muschietti at the helm sounds like it could be next.

A reboot of the film was reported to have reached the casting phase last year, with 28 Weeks Later's Juan Carlos Fresnadillo rumoured to be directing, and although that version is dead and buried, it doesn't look like it's coming back.

Muschietti, who recently headed up the remake of King's novel IT, has confirmed that he wants to revive Pet Sematary and make it his next project.

King was never a fan of the novel himself, confessing to have written it during a dark chapter of his life when he was constantly wasted. A “terrible book,” he calls it, which “just spirals into darkness”.

Let's hope the remake doesn't do the same, because it actually sounds promising.
