8 Most Ridiculous Stephen King Adaptations Of All Time

3. Pet Sematary 2 (1992)

The finest movie ever to feature Herman Munster and Bing Crosby€™s granddaughter being attacked by a zombie baby, 1989€™s Pet Sematary was such a success (financially, anyway) that Paramount Pictures assumed everyone wanted more of the same and rushed a sequel into production. Once again, the reins were handed to Mary Lambert, who in future years would achieve Bad Movie immortality by directing Urban Legends: Bloody Mary and Mega Python Vs Gatoroid. After watching his mom get electrocuted in the opening scene, Edward Furlong moves in with dad Anthony Edwards, who€™s just bought a house next to an Indian burial ground. Astute readers may have an inkling what happens next. If you just thought, "well, nobody€™s stupid enough to bury a loved one there, especially after what happened last time", you€™re sadly mistaken. But if you imagined the characters in this stupid horror movie behaving like, well, characters in a stupid horror movie and acting surprised when their pets and relatives return from the grave with glowing red eyes and homicidal tendencies, give yourself a cigar. Two scenes will stick in your memory: the first involves Edwards who, while having a wet dream about his housekeeper, imagines her turning into a dog (don€™t ask). Then there€™s Sheriff Clancy Brown returning from the dead as a psycho who forces himself on his wife, shoves a kid€™s face into a spinning motorcycle wheel and, most heinously, shows Furlong a mouthful of mashed potato at the dinner table.
