History Film / PetSemataryTwo

--> [[EvilIsHammy NO BRAIN, NO PAIN!]]

* ShoutOut: Jeff wears a [[Franchise/FridayThe13th Jason mask]] on Halloween.

The 1992 sequel to the horror film ''Film/PetSematary'', starring Creator/EdwardFurlong, Anthony Edwards, and Creator/ClancyBrown.

* AbusiveParents: Sheriff Gus Gilbert, who was going to go as far as beat his son with a big stick for sneaking out of the house [[spoiler:until Drew's dog Zowie, whom Gus shot and killed, shows up and tears his throat out]].

Not knowing that sometimes dead is better, two boys bury the other's pet dog in the eponymous resurrective cemetery. The thing [[CameBackWrong comes back wrong]], and so do the people who inevitably end up buried there as well.

->''Back by popular demand.''

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: Compared to the last film this one has a better aftermath. Compared to Louis losing almost everything and becoming little more than a broken man, Chase and Jeff manage to survive their ordeal and resist the burial ground's pull on them enough to cut their losses and move out of Ludlow, leaving them and the Burial Ground behind.]]

* CameBackWrong: In line with the first film. Zowie, a BigFriendlyDog, is transformed into a HellHound, while Gus, who was already [[{{Jerkass}} an asshole]], is stripped of what little humanity he had.

* AxCrazy: Those risen by the burial ground seem even crazier than the last film, as seen when [[spoiler: Gus tries to drill a hole through Chase's eye in their fight wide-eyed with glee and with a SlasherSmile.]] [[spoiler: The resurrected Clyde takes this [[AnAxToGrind literally]] in his fight with Jeff.]]

* GoryDiscretionShot: When [[spoiler:Gus kills Clyde by [[CruelAndUnusualDeath grinding half his head away with a motorbike wheel]]]], the camera thankfully cuts away to his face being splattered with a fine shower of blood. Lovely.

* ImplacableMan: Gus is dealt several injuries over the course of the film with little effect, including ''getting shot in the chest''.

* OurZombiesAreDifferent: This film expands on the [[MonsterFromBeyondTheVeil twisted]] [[RevenantZombie Revenants]] resurrected by the burial ground, showing that they're just as affected by the burial ground's pull on them as the living and are thus compelled to make more of their number. They also seem to be resistant to bodyshots, but shooting them in the head or destroying it, although not an instant kill in the former, seems to do the trick as [[spoiler: Chase shoots Zowie and Gus in the head with his revolver and they each take a few seconds to succumb to their wounds.]]

* OurZombiesAreDifferent: This film expands on the [[MonsterFromBeyondTheVeil twisted]] [[RevenantZombie Revenants]] resurrected by the burial ground, showing that they'll turn on each other if left alone long enough, as seen when [[spoiler: Gus kills Zowie before attacking Chase.]] They also seem to be immune to bodyshots, but shooting them in the head, although not an instant kill, seems to do the trick as [[spoiler: Chase shoots Gus in the head with his own revolver and then watches him flail about for a few seconds before finally collapsing, dead.]]

* EldritchLocation: The Micmac Burial Ground as before. This time it drives both the living (Jeff's grief into outright mania) ''and'' the dead (Gus post-resurrection) to create more RevenantZombies.

* ILoveTheDead: {{Inverted|Trope}}. Gus, shortly after coming back to life, rapes his wife.

* SanitySlippage: Not as bad as Louis's, but Jeff really gets obsessed with reviving his mom as the movie goes on.

-->'''Renee:''' Jeff...I don't want to be alone! Come back! Stay with me. [[CallBack Dead is better!]] [[MadnessMantra DEAD IS BETTER!]]

* NoSympathyBetweenMooks: [[spoiler: Despite both being reanimated undead abominations, Gus kills the reanimated Zowie in an AxCrazy bout shortly before Chase comes in, fights and kills Gus.]]

* SequelEscalation: A cat was the featured animal to ComeBackWrong in the first film, so naturally a dog is used this time around. ''People'' being resurrected, on the other hand, is what sets the plot in motion rather than being saved for a horrifying climax. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]], as it would make sense for two teenagers to make a rash decision (and be more easily influenced by the [[EldritchLocation burial ground]]) to bring back a pet. [[spoiler: The Burial Ground later subsumes Jeff's personality entirely and, with Gus' assistance, brings his mother's corpse to the grounds and sets the climax in motion.]]

The 1992 sequel to the horror film ''Film/PetSematary'', starring Creator/EdwardFurlong, Anthony Edwards and Creator/ClancyBrown.

* AbusiveParents: Sheriff Gus Gilbert, who was going to go as far as beating his son with a big stick for sneaking out of the house [[spoiler:until Drew's dog, whom he shot and killed, shows up and tears his throat out]].
* AlliterativeName: Gus Gilbert, who is Drew's father.
* AssholeVictim: Both Gus the cop and Clyde the bully. In fact, [[spoiler:the former kills the latter when he becomes a zombie.]]
* AttackItsWeakPoint: Like any good zombie, both Gus and Zowie go down after [[BoomHeadshot taking a shot to the brain]]. [[spoiler: Renee, however, incinerates due to the mortician's wax that was holding her body together igniting.]]

** When the Cemetery brings people back, it doesn't heal them of the wounds that killed them - both Gus and Zowie sport grotesque sores that continue to ooze and fester over the course of the film. Gus [[PaperThinDisguise poorly hides his with Ace bandages]].
** [[spoiler:Renee's mortician's wax melting by the fire in the end.]]

* CameBackWrong: In line with the first film. Zowie, a BigFriendlyDog, is transformed into a HellHound, while Gus (who was already an asshole) is stripped of what little humanity he had.

* ChewingTheScenery: Gus, post-resurrection. Creator/ClancyBrown hamming it up makes watching this worthwhile.
* ContinuityNod: They left tons of nods in this movie, from the protagonist passing by the Creed house, to the bully retelling how [[spoiler: Louis dug up Gage to revive him]], to a reference to Church when the vet compares the dog's blood to Church's. [[FridgeLogic even though the Creed family took Church to the vet once, and he was alive at that time]].
* CuteKitten: Subversion. Zowie, the evil, reanimated dog is shown in a kennel at a vet's office, growling at another kennel with three adorable tabby kittens in it. The kittens hiss back. Cut to the next morning, where we see an excited little girl being led into the room by her mom who tells her that she can pick whichever kitten she wants, [[spoiler:only to scream in horror at the sight of the dog's busted-open kennel and the kittens' busted-open kennel ''caked with blood and gray fur.'']]

-->'''Gus:''' ''*glances down at the newly-dead Zowie*'' Well, I ''was'' building a doggie door.

* FatalMethodActing: In-universe, main character's actress mother is accidentally killed on the set of a movie when she's electrocuted by live wires.
* ForTheEvulz: The bully starts picking on the protagonist simply because his mom died. To the point in which he was going to ''shred his face to a bicycle wheel, knowing that it might even kill him.''
* GoryDiscretionShot: When [[spoiler:Gus kills Clyde by [[CruelAndUnusualDeath grinding half his head away with a motorbike wheel]]]], the camera (thankfully) cuts away to his face being splattered with a fine shower of blood. Lovely.
* ImplacableMan: Gus is dealt several injuries over the course of the film with little effect, including ''getting shot in the chest.''
-->'''Gus:''' ''*upon getting shot*'' Owww... [[MajorInjuryUnderreaction I hate it when that happens.]]
* IronicEcho: Several, though the most notable is when Gus catches Clyde about to mangle Jeff's face with a bicycle wheel. Clyde replies with the words "I was just fucking with him." and proceeds to ''[[TooDumbToLive taunt Gus]]'' by telling him that he can't touch him. [[DisproportionateRetribution Gus doesn't take it well.]]
-->'''Clyde:''' ''*is punched to the ground*'' What are you doing!
-->'''Gus:''' ''*picks up Clyde's motorbike and revs it up*'' I'm just ''fucking with you.''
* MakeSureHesDead: After [[spoiler:Chase kills Gus by shooting him in the head]], he pauses in the doorway on the way out of the house before turning around and heading back inside and shooting him [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill three more times]], just to be sure.

* TakingYouWithMe: A villainous example... [[spoiler: Resurrected Renee sets fire to the attic while Jeff and Zombie!Clyde are fighting with this precise intention.]]
-->'''Renee:''' Jeff... I don't want to be alone! Come back! Stay with me. [[CallBack Dead is better!]] [[MadnessMantra DEAD IS BETTER!]]
