Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In the title "Pet Sematary", the second word is obviously spelled wrong. What is the correct spelling?

Answer: cemetery

The word "Sematary" in the title of the book seems to be spelled the way a child might spell it, since the pet cemetery was made by the children of the town.
Here are a couple of inscriptions that the children wrote on the gravestones in the cemetery.

"SMUCKY THE CAT,
HE WAS OBEDIANT"
1971-1974

GEN. PATTON (OUR! GOOD! DOG!)
2. How did Jud say that his dog had died?

Answer: both of these

Jud told Louis two different stories about how his dog had died. When Judd first took Louis and his family to see the pet cemetery, he said that his dog had "died of old age in 1914, the year the Great War begun". Later Jud told Louis that his dog had died when the dog was ten years old.

He said the dog had been chasing a rabbit and had gotten tangled up in barbed wire, and the wound had gotten infected, causing the dog's death.
3. Which of the following is one of Stephen King's other books that was referred to in "Pet Sematary"?

Answer: Cujo

Jud told Louis, "There was a big old St. Bernard went rabid downstate a couple of years ago and killed four people". "Cujo" was published in 1981. Making references to previous stories is an interesting aspect of Stephen King's books.
One of the interesting thing about movies made out of Stephen's King's books is that Stephen King can usually be seen in a small role.
4. Ellie stilled loved her cat Church after he came back from the dead.

Answer: True

"She fed him regularly and with love, and even Gage was not above giving old Church an occasional tail tug." However, Ellie didn't like him to be too close to her very often. She told Louis, "He never smelled funny before. He smells like...he smells like ka-ka!"
Other changes in Church included being uncoordinated and not purring any more. The only time he purred was one time when Louis was sleeping on the couch and woke up to find Church on top of his chest.
5. Why did Rachel hate to talk about death or even think about death?

Answer: Her sister choked to death when Rachel was eight years old.

Rachel's sister Zelda had spinal meningitis. She was kept in the back bedroom of the family home, and she became meaner as her condition got worse. Her body became all shrivelled and hunched up, and she was in constant pain. She choked to death one night when Rachel was alone in the house with her.
6. How did Louis and Rachel try to make Ellie think that Santa was real?

Answer: all of these

Ellie had been hearing from children in her kindergarten class that Santa was really her parents. Rachel ate a Ring-ding from the plate that was left out for Santa, and Louis drank a beer that had been left out with the plate. The thing that Rachel said would really make Ellie excited was that Louis took his left boot out of the closet and set it down in the ashes in the fireplace to make a footprint.

He then made a second footprint on the hearth with the ashes on the bottom of the boot. Both footprints pointed in the direction of the Christmas tree.
7. Who got in a fight at the funeral home after Gage died?

Answer: Louis and Rachel's father

Rachel's father, Irwin Goldman, blamed Louis for Gage's death. Louis punched Irwin. Irwin then punched Louis in the throat, after which he kicked Louis once in the kidneys and twice in the buttocks. As Irwin tried to kick Louis again, Louis grabbed Irwin's shoe and shoved him. Irwin fell onto Gage's coffin and knocked it off of the trestle.
8. Gage was alone when he went into Jud's house after coming back from the dead.

Answer: False

Church was with him. Jud first smelled them, and then he heard shuffling footsteps. He saw Church first and then he saw Gage. He took a meat cleaver from the kitchen drawer to protect himself. Church tripped Jud and the cleaver fell out of his hand. Then Gage killed Jud with the scalpel that he'd taken out the medical bag in his father's bedroom while Louis was sleeping.
9. When Rachel came back from the airport, she went to Jud's house. Who did she see there?

Answer: all of these

Rachel saw Church. She also saw her dead sister Zelda, with her deformed body, but Zelda was dressed in Gage's burial suit. Zelda then turned into Gage and he killed Rachel, after saying, "I brought you something, Mommy!"
10. Who followed Louis to the pet cemetery when he took Rachel's body there?

Answer: Steve Masterson

Steve Masterson, the physician's assistant who worked with Louis at the clinic, went to check on Louis at his house. When he arrived, he saw Jud's house on fire. Then he saw a man in the woods, carrying a white bundle. He followed Louis up to the pet cemetery, but he couldn't make it over the deadfall. When he heard weird laughter in the woods, he ran away.
