Pet Sematary: Bloodlines details young Jud Crandall's first encounter with the cemetery's "sour" ground, and sets up another potential prequel.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary Pet Sematary: Bloodlines sets up the events of the 2019 movie, but a key flashback teases another potential prequel. Stephen King has previously complained about sequels or spinoffs to his work that aren't based on anything he's written, including the endless Children of the Corn movies or Pet Sematary Two.
Of course, Bloodlines greatly expands on this chapter and adds a much higher bodycount. While the Wendigo itself doesn't make an appearance, the prequel features a flashback to 1674 that follows the pioneers who first discovered the burial ground. They followed the trail of a settler named Ludlow, who had been sent out months earlier to find fertile land in Mi'kmaq territory.
Rather than another story that follows Jud or even one set after the events of 2019's Pet Sematary, a prequel taking place in the 17th century is probably the most fertile direction. This could dive deeper into the town's relationship to the cemetery, and the Miꞌkmaq tribe's reasons for building it. Bloodlines revealed the descendants of the town's founders swore an oath to protect Ludlow from anything brought back from the "sour" ground.
Why Bloodlines Teasing Another Pet Sematary Origin Story Is A Bad Idea Bloodlines is an entertaining, gory B-movie but it's definitely on the lower rung of Stephen King adaptations. Its additions to the series' canon are intriguing, but they're not all that essential either. If another film must happen then exploring the founding of Ludlow is the obvious route, but like Pet Sematary: Bloodlines itself, that's not really a story that must be told.
