The gothic romance film directed by Guillermo del Toro - Crimson Peak, made only $12.8 million on its opening weekend, alongside with the computer-animated horror comedy film, "Goosebumps," and Guillermo Del Toro isn't afraid of being outshined by a kiddie movie.
The director spent the weekend reading Stephen King's Pet Sematary and Del Toro tweeted about how he'd "kill to make it on film."
On October 16, director del Toro tweeted a post on his official Twitter account that featured the American author of contemporary horror, science fiction, and fantasy - Stephen King's "Pet Sematary" as the director's "Book of the Day." Guillermo del Toro described the classic work as "Unrelenting dark and emotional, compulsive reading."
Taking everything into account, the filmmaker's tweet came about with more than 700 favorites and more than 300 re-tweets.
In 1989, Stephen King's Pet Sematary had its cinematic adaptation helmed by director Mary Lambert. The adaptation starred the American actor who is best known for playing Captain Darien Lambert in the Time Trax TV series - Dale Midkiff. It also included the actress, Denise Crosby, who famous for portraying Security Chief Tasha Yar in the Star Trek: The Next Generation and Fred Gwyne (the actor who was best known for his roles in the 1960s sitcoms Car 54 and Where Are You?).
Director Mary Lambert's adaptation centered on a young family's home in Maine, which held a private information that has a power of life after death. In 1992, the film had a sequel, entitled, "Pet Sematary II," with casts such as the American actor and musician - Edward Furlong, the American actor and director - Anthony Edwards, and Clancy Brown (known for his character as The Kurgan in the fantasy film Highlander).
Director Guillermo del Toro's current flick has garnered generally favorable reviews even with the fact that it had a slow start at the box office, but the question critics are asking is - is Del Toro ready to venture on the works of the King of Horror, Stephen King?
