Hey everybody welcome back to cold case murder mysteries for a very special

Halloween episode. I'm your host Ryan Krause taking the wheel once again for a journey down the rabbit hole

this time in the form of the Stephen King Classic Pet Cemetery which began as a novel in

1983 was adapted to film six years later, and is scheduled for an

updated release hitting theaters in April 2019.

Of course, Stephen King has written numerous best-selling books, many of which have been adapted to film and TV to varying degrees of success, including the Stand, Misery, Christine, It, The Shining, Carrie, Koojo, Salem's Lot, and many more.

For decades, the author reined as the undisputed best in the business at frightening readers

with each turn of the page. He became known for blood,

monsters, and the supernatural. Meanwhile, King also wrote beautiful coming-of-age tales,

such as the body, which eventually became the film

Stand by Me and underdog stories of people rising from the ashes like Rita Hayworth

and the Shawshank Redemption. It's in the disparity between King's gory works of horror and his more grounded

dramatic efforts that we find the key to his success, the cauldron from which the magic boils

and overflows onto the world's palette, where he paints portraits of our fragile humanity and blood.

This place is called fear.

Sometimes it shows itself as vampires, other times as a

rabid fan, and even still as a small group of pre-teen boys coming of age in a

small town in Maine during the 1950s. But no matter the tale he tells,

there is only one subject, a singular source of fear.

your mortality.

You're going to die someday.

So too will everything you know and cherish.
