THE DEER BROOK TRAIL AND PET CEMETERY

So this evening I was just doing some random Google searches on acadia National Park when I came across a story about the Stephen King movie, "Pet Cemetery".  As it turns out, a hiking trail in Acadia National Park, at least sections of that trail, was used in the movie - something I was not aware of. 
"An elegant rehabilitation, led by the park’s trails crew, gave the Deer Brook Trail a major facelift, but the old rooty section was ideal for a spine-chilling scene in “Pet Sematary,” filmed in Maine in 1988, according to a newly released documentary on the movie production."
Sadly, like so many other things that once were, the section of the trail used in the movie was redone by the park and the large scary roots used in the movie are gone.
"Gary Stellpflug, trails foreman at Acadia National Park, said the rehabilitation of the Deer Brook Trail occurred during parts of two summers and then a portion of a third summer.

DEER BROOK TRAIL - ACADIA NATIONAL PARK

Stellpflug said the mangled tree roots needed to be replaced with the stairway and log cribbing."
If you are familiar  with the movie, the trail appears as Dale Midkiff and Fred Gwynne, are hiking along a trail on their way  to a Micmac burial ground, where the dead – both pets and people – resurrect after interment.
It's the section with the large old roots they have to cross that were shot along the Deer  Brook Trail.  The following was stated in the article, "The Deer Brook Trail was not identified by name in the movie or in a new documentary about the film, but Charlie Jacobi, a resource specialist at Acadia, confirmed that the Acadia trail, situated off a carriage road, was a location in the movie."
Pretty interesting stuff since I am a huge fan of Stephen King and old scary roots.
