Dead Ringers 27 - PET SEMATARY (1989) + WAKE WOOD

Nolan is joined by Emily von Seele — as well as special guests Stephanie Crawford from The ScreamCast & Dread Central and Michele Eggen from Wicked Horror & Ghastly Grinning — to discuss Mary Lambert's PET SEMATARY (1989) and David Keating's WAKE WOOD (2011). The crew catch up on recent horror releases, new discoveries, and rewatches before a monkey's paw grants them the power to bring their loved ones back from the dead, as well as bringing about their own demise.
