Stephen King’s original Pet Sematary is free to stream on Pluto TV

When I was a kid, Tim Curry’s Pennywise the Clown scared the Hell out of me. With that cackling, gravelly voice, that bizarre, bulbous head, and the way he would just appear out of nowhere, Pennywise gave me nightmares at an age where I was definitely too young to watch. But when I revisited the movie decades later, I realized that, while Curry’s performance was still terrifying, the 1990 ABC TV movie that contained it was kind of terrible. The acting was often hokey and melodramatic while the non-Pennywise scares were all very lame — not boring, just corny.
