The Stephen King adaptations keep on coming. While the horror legend's books and stories have been regularly turned into movies and shows over the decades, the last few years have seen even more than usual. There is much anticipation for It: Chapter Two next September, and ahead of that, a new adaptation of his classic 1983 novel Pet Sematary is due. The first trailer has now been released.

　　The movie focuses on a family who move into a new house near some typically spooky woods. There are stories about local kids who buried their dead pets in a makeshift cemetery (with a misspelt sign), and it soon becomes clear that there are some dark forces at work. King's novel is one of his darkest, scariest works, and it looks like the movie might be equally chilling. Check the trailer out above.
