The first trailer of Stephen King's Pet Sematary 2019 movie is out and has taken the internet by storm.

Hollywood movie The Pet Sematary trailer, the second film adaptation of the bestselling 1983 novel by Stephen King, is helping a very creepy cat achieve social media stardom.

The plot revolves around a family that moves to Maine and discovers a mysterious burial ground in the woods. The trailer shows a lot of unsettling shots of kids in masks, grave digging, and most importantly, a very creepy cat. The trailer is narrated by John Lithgow, which also features a line of children all wearing strange animal masks and a strong warning for everyone comes on the screen, "Sometimes dead is better."

After the trailer was released, several fans took to Twitter to share their excitement and also, their version of the cat.

I love a horror film. But the original I can’t watch. I saw it for the first time hiding on the stairs watching it through the doorway when I was supposed to be a sleep, aged 10. Perhaps I can tackle the new one instead 😂

Pet Sematary is definitely one of Stephen King's darker novels, so much so that the author initially didn't even want to publish it. His wife convinced him otherwise, and it became a bestseller.

Directed by Kevin Kölsch and Dennis Widmyer, the screenplay is written by Jeff Buhler. The movie features Jason Clarke as Dr Louis Creed, Amy Seimetz as Louis' wife, Rachel Creed, John Lithgow as Jud Crandall, and Hugo Lavoie and Lucas Lavoie as Gage Creed. The upcoming horror film is scheduled to release on April 5, 2019.
