I think this was a story that got under the skin of an entire generation, because it was sincere about a real-life horror that no parent should ever have to experience.<br /><br />If you watched "Inside Horror" last night, then you heard Mary Lambert say that she has always wanted to continue Ellie's story. What happened to that little girl whose family was ripped apart by inconsolable loss? How much of that horrible experience did she carry with her into adulthood? Has she been able to come to terms with what happened or does she still live in constant fear? That's a story I'd like to hear.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02536096683421557320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28690185.post-4524482214774314432012-04-30T18:27:53.804-07:002012-04-30T18:27:53.804-07:00A wonderful, thoughtful and heartfelt piece, Joe. ...A wonderful, thoughtful and heartfelt piece, Joe. I believe director Lambert, and author Stephen King doing screenwriter duties, turned in a solid adaptation. It's not an easy novel to translate. I read it after the book was released and was moved by it. I appreciate the film, but it didn't bother me like the novel. Believe me when I say this, but I can re-watch the movie, but have no inkling to return to the novel. I don't think I could get through now.<br /><br />It was eerie to read this passage of yours, Joe:<br /><br />"<i>When I was reading the Pet Sematary novel, my aunt went into a coma. I can’t remember the doctor’s explanation for what brought on the coma. What I remember is that it happened without warning, and she never came out. No one ever got to say goodbye to her. We just had to wait.</i>"<br /><br />You see, this is what exactly happened to my mother when she passed away in '78 at the too young age of fifty-three. That said, whether enough time had passed, or was pushed from my mind reflexively, but I didn't relate the Pet Semetary novel experience with her loss (child to parent). I did relate with parent to child loss, even though it'd be a dozen years till I became a father. And it's that aspect now that prevents me from ever picking up the book again. I don't think I could get through it story-wise, let alone approaching such a horror in real life.<br /><br />I very much enjoyed the personal facet your gave this article, Joe. Well done.
