So why is a documentary on Pet Sematary necessary? The website notes,
As a big time fan of Pet Sematary, the recent announcement that two filmmakers were working on a comprehensive documentary about the making of the film immediately caught my attention, and got me incredibly excited. The film has never really been given all that much in terms of special features, even on the recent Blu-ray, which just rehashed the features from the previous DVD release. So friends and Pet Sematary super fans John Campopiano and Justin White decided to take matters into their own hands, and tell the untold story of the making of one of their favorite horror movies.
When asked how long the documentary would be, John Campopiano explained:
Of course this could always change, but as of now fans can expect it to clock in around 60 minutes, perhaps a bit longer. In many ways our initial goal was not to tell every story there is, show every behind-the-scenes photograph, etc. Such an endeavor would be impossible. What we did set out to do and have continued to do is showcase the voices from the film that have gone unheard, show the cast members people haven't seen before, share the behind-the-scenes photos and footage most people have never seen before, things like that. No doubt there will be stories and information about the film that no one has heard before. But the real goal is to celebrate this film in a way that has never been done before. I think we're definitely succeeding.

Digging Deeper Into "Unearthed & Untold"
I like the new facebook page for the upcoming Pet Sematary documentary, "Unearthed & Untold." The page says they are aiming for completion sometime in 2013. (The facbook page is HERE)
Scars Magazine described the documentary, "Unearthed & Untold: The Path to Pet Sematary, is a meticulous lovesong not just to the movie, but to the filmmaking process."
I like this exchange from the interview:
Are there any questions you’ve always wondered about, as fans, that making this documentary has revealed for you?
JUSTIN WHITE: One of the first things that was answered for me was a question I didn’t even really know I had. When we first visited the Creed house, one of the things we did was follow the land where the path into the woods was, and thought there might have been a slight chance that we stumbled upon the area that was used for the Pet Sematary. It was quickly realized that the actual shooting location was not on or anywhere near the property. That was one of the first of many surprising revelations that working on this documentary has presented us.
JOHN CAMPOPIANO: In terms of general curiosities, I’ve always been eager to know where the locations from the film are. Horror fans have a lot of things in common, one of them being a genuine fascination with filming locations and seeing what places look like today. (Have they changed? Do they look the same?) For years, devoted fans have flocked to the Exorcist steps in Georgetown, the JAWS bridge on Martha’s Vineyard, the Amityville Horror house in Amityville, NY, the iconic sidewalks from Halloween in southern California, and so on. That red and yellow “Creed” house is among those locations that fans want to see and visit. Over the last two years we’ve gone above and beyond to find as many of the filming locations in Maine as we can. While there will always be a stone left unturned, we’re confident that, for the first time, fans of Pet Sematary will see more of the original locations than they ever dreamed they would. After all, our primary objective with this documentary is to provide an all-encompassing look at the film – the filming locations being a major part of the journey.
In terms of specific questions that I, as a fan, always wanted to know, I had always been interested in learning about how the filmmakers accomplished the two different shots showing Gage getting killed in the road. (A morbid curiosity, no?) The answers and stories associated with this question have been revealed in the documentary and will undoubtedly peak the interest of anyone who appreciates the film.

Are you a fan of the Mary Lambert Pet Sematary adaptation? I am! And I'm not alone. The above picture comes from Michael Shapcott, who explains that this is a picture of Gage and Church. . . as zombies. Nice!
It seems Pet Sematary has made a lasting impression on American culture.
If you're a fan of the Lambert film, GOOD NEWS! Chris Alexander at Fangoria has posted news that John Campopiano is making a documentary about the movie titled "UNEARTHED & UNTOLD: THE PATH TO PET SEMATARY."
Calling it the "most in-depth and comprehensive documentary on the making of Pet Sematary," Campopiano has already conducted over 24 interviews with cast, crew and Maine locals. Alexander notes in the Fangoria article that the majority of these people have not been previously interviewed on camera about their role.
Campopiano says,
“What we’re attempting to do is take a deeper look at the making of PET SEMATARY. What stories and memories do local Maine residents have of the production? How was the production documented in the local media (television, magazine, and newspaper stories)? What did the production do for Hancock County and the greater Maine communities? Our goal is to show the unique bridging of a relatively small Hollywood production with a small Maine community who continue to think highly of its involvement in the film. In addition to cast and crew memories, the local experiences of those in Maine, and the film’s portrayal in the local media, we’re also seeking to explore the legacy the film has established and how its core themes are being taught and explored in the film and academic worlds.”
