This next guest is a character actor from Falls Church, VA that went on to earn his BFA from Virginia Commonwealth University & began performing in the Off-Off-Broadway theater circuit, however he is probably best known for his portrayal of Victor Pascow in the 1989 classic “Pet Sematary”. Let's welcome Actor Brad Greenquist.*Executive brought up was Lindsay Doran-Producer/Studio Executive*Brad GreenquistWebsite: https://bradgreenquist.com/Crazy Train RadioFacebook: facebook.com/realctradioInstagram: @crazytrainradioX/Twitter: @realctradioBlueSky: @crazytrainradio.bsky.socialWebsite: crazytrainradio.usYouTube: youtube.com/crazytrainradio
The interview with Mr. Brad Greenquist! Such an animated and amazing actor. His role as Victor Pascow in the movie "Pet Semetary" may not have seemed like an important role but to me it was. Victor Pascow was the voice of reasoning that everyone tended to ignore. Why does everyone always ignore the dead guy when he's always right? Anyway, Brad is a phenomenal actor and I hope that we get to see him in a lot more movies. Brad will be at The Creature Feature Convention in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania March 17th to the 19th and everyone will have the opportunity to meet and greet Brad while he is in makeup (as his role as Victor Pascow). --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/southjerseyhorror/message
Pet Sematary: Secuelas: Pet Sematary 2 (1992) y un remake (2019). Presupuesto: $11.5 millones de USD. Recaudación: $57.5 millones de USD. Año: 1989. Director: Mary Lambert. Actores: Fred Gwynne (Jud Crandall), Dale Midkiff (Louis Creed) y Denise Crosby (Rachel Creed). ¿De qué trata la película?La familia Creed se muda a Ludlow, Maine, debido al trabajo del doctor Louis Creed como director de servicios de salud de la Universidad de Maine. Pronto conocerá a su vecino, Jud Crandall, y lo que es un cementerio donde los niños enterraban a sus mascotas, algo siniestro en opinión de los Creed. Todo parece ir bien hasta que Church, el gato de la familia muere atropellado. Jud, para evitar que la hija de Louis se ponga triste, decide llevarlo a un sitio muy antiguo, un cementerio indio de la tribu Micmac donde los muertos regresan a la vida al ser enterrados en sus terrenos, aunque con comportamientos malvados.¿Cuál fue la contribución de la película al cine de horror?“Cementerio de Mascotas” fue otro best seller de Stephen King y como era de esperarse, su adaptación a la pantalla grande fue todo un éxito, tanto así que se realizó en 1992 una secuela dirigida también por Lambert. La historia se centra en Louis Creed, un padre de familia cuya vida cambia tras mudarse a Ludlow. Con “Pet Sematary” se describen los peores temores de un padre de familia, la desesperación y tristeza por perder a un hijo y hacer todo lo necesario por recuperarlo. El mismo King lo ha mencionado, de todas sus novelas, “Pet Sematary” es la única que no ha vuelto a leer después de escribirla.Producción:Sobre la novela, King, a sus treinta y un años ya era el autor más leído de EE. UU., millonario y se podía dar el lujo de vivir donde quisiera, pero decidió quedarse en Maine, comprando una casa a las afueras de Bangor, en Orrington. King dejó la novela por casi un año, la retomó agregándole más elementos y parte de su experiencia familiar. Ahí el gato de su hija fue atropellado y su hijo casi muere de la misma manera.Sobre la película, King estuvo muy involucrado en el proyecto, fue guionista y estuvo presente durante casi todo el rodaje, ya que la locación se encontraba a veinte minutos de Bangor. George A. Romero iba a ser el director, pero por dificultades en la agenda de Romero (se encontraba en la preproducción de “Two Evil Eyes” junto a Dario Argento), tuvo que abandonar el proyecto. Se le ofreció a Tom Savini, sin embargo, de igual manera lo rechazó, pues estaba preparándose para dirigir el remake de “Night Of The Living Dead”.Finalmente se contrató a Mary Lambert.¿Qué te gustó de la película?En mi experiencia, primero vi la película y para ese entonces las cintas donde se mencionaba la frase “de Stephen King” aseguraban que sería una excelente película de terror, sin duda, una de las que marcaron mi juventud. King y la directora Mary Lambert llegaron a producirme mucho miedo y tensión con la trágica historia de Louis Creed.Como datos curiosos, Stephen hace un cameo, ¡me di cuenta después de mucho tiempo!Además, como es bien sabido, la banda “The Ramones” es una de las favoritas de King y en su libro se menciona la canción “Rockaway Beach”. En la película la cambian por “Sheena Is A Punk Rocker”. También en los créditos finales se escucha la canción “Pet Sematary” compuesta exclusivamente para la película. Y fue así que gracias a esta película conocí a “The Ramones”.Como es bien sabido, en las novelas de King los personajes de una novela mencionan hechos u otros personajes relacionados con el resto de sus obras para plantear que forman parte de un mismo universo ficticio. En este caso, Jud le cuenta a Louis una historia sobre un perro que tenía rabia y asesina a varias personas –clara referencia a “Cujo”–. Pero en la película no se menciona su nombre por ser de diferentes casas productoras, no obstante, sí hay un guiño sutil cuando Victor Pascow es trasladado al hospital tras ser atropellado y se puede ver un cartel pegado donde se lee “Rabies” junto a una foto de Cujo.Un personaje omitido es Steve Masterton, amigo de Louis, como curiosidad, en un capítulo de la novela, Steve le llama a Louis para invitarlo a jugar frontón, pero Louis se niega argumentando que tiene mucho trabajo, a lo que Steve le responde: “mucho trabajo y poca distracción no es bueno para la salud”. Es una referencia a la novela “The Shining”, la frase es del protagonista Jack Torrance.Los Micmac y el Wendigo:Eran una tribu de nativos americanos que en Ludlow, miles de años atrás, consideraban una parte del bosque como un lugar mágico. En dicho sitio y por considerarlo divino, enterraban a sus seres queridos, y no hacían distinciones, sepultaban también a sus mascotas. Con el tiempo, los traficantes de pieles y otras tribus empezaron a alejarse del lugar porque creían ver fantasmas y cosas extrañas. Hasta los mismos Micmac se alejaron de ahí, asegurando haber visto al Wendigo y haber corrompido esas tierras. La historia que cuentan los Micmac es que una noche fueron tocados por el Wendigo y que esto les provocó el gusto por la carne de su propia especie. Las personas no creían del todo esta historia, la consideraban una escusa, ya que los Micmac recurrían al canibalismo en los inviernos más largos y crudos.Cuando Louis y Jud se acercan al cementerio para enterrar a Church, escuchan ruidos y sonidos extraños, como susurros, también sienten que son llamados por algo. El Wendigo puede influir en los pensamientos y acciones de las personas, se cree que Jud fue influenciado por él para que le contara sobre el cementerio Micmac a Louis y este lo usara.El final:Es el mismo que el de la novela, pero en la película muestran el rostro de Rachel desfigurado y putrefacto, la escena del cuchillo y el grito de Louis sobre una imagen negra. Si bien, en la novela se da a entender que Louis murió, King no detalla lo que en la película vemos. Antes del regreso de Rachel, el personaje de Steve Masterton tiene un encuentro con Louis, inclusive lo sigue hasta el cementerio Micmac, pues quería ayudarlo con la tarea de enterrar a su esposa, pero al final entra en pánico y huye de Ludlow para siempre.¿Qué no te gustó de la película?Después de leer la novela, la película sigue siendo muy buena, pero siento que no detallan la relación entre los personajes de Louis y Jud. Aunque la esposa de Jud se omite en la película porque no es un personaje crucial, su presencia enriquece el desarrollo de ese dúo. La narración de King es fantástica, como cuando Louis va al cementerio a desenterrar el cuerpo de su hijo, es desgarrador. Sin duda recomendaría leer la novela.Créditos:Radio Horror es producido por Caro Arriaga y Rael Aguilar.Edición por Matías Beltrando desde Destek Soporte.Música:Closing Theme Hounds of Love por Dan Luscombe (Intro), Insiders por Joe Crotty (Intro), Patchwork por Patchworker f.k.a.

This week marks the anniversary of the 1989 movie adaption of Stephen King’s PET SEMATARY and actor Brad Greenquist is here to walk us through the makeup process for his character Victor Pascow!
Check out this latest episode, when the ladies of Read, Watch, and Wine review the book "Pet Semetary" by Stephen King, and compare it to the 1989 movie of the same name. The Podcast begins with a summary of the book and then on to the detailed discussion of the book to movie adaptation. Did the Read, Watch and Wine Crew like it or dislike it. You have to listen to find out. Tune in to hear the discussion, and we would love to hear your opinion the book to movie transition. Please keep in mind that the discussion contains spoilers. Publishers Summary of BookLouis Creed, a doctor from Chicago, is appointed the director of the University of Maine's campus health service. He moves to a large house near the small town of Ludlow with his wife Rachel, their two young children, Ellie and Gage, and Ellie's cat, Church. From the moment they arrive, the family runs into trouble: Ellie hurts her knee and Gage is stung by a bee. Their new neighbor, an older man named Jud Crandall, comes to help. He warns Louis and Rachel about the highway that runs past their house, which is frequented by speeding trucks. Jud and Louis quickly become close friends. A few weeks after the Creeds move in, Jud takes the family on a walk in the woods behind their home. A well-tended path leads to a pet cemetery (misspelled "sematary" on the sign) where the children of the town bury their deceased animals. Victor Pascow, a student who has been fatally injured in an automobile accident, addresses his dying words to Louis personally, even though the two men are strangers. On the night following Pascow's death, Louis experiences what he believes is a very vivid dream in which he meets Pascow, who leads him to the deadfall at the back of the "sematary" and warns him to not go beyond there. Jud is grateful and decides to help Louis after Church is run over outside his home around Thanksgiving. Louis frets over breaking the bad news to Ellie. Sympathizing with Louis, Jud takes him to the "sematary", supposedly to bury Church. But instead of stopping there, Jud leads Louis farther on to "the real cemetery": an ancient burial ground that was once used by the Miꞌkmaq Tribe. There, Louis buries the cat on Jud's instruction. The next afternoon, Church returns home; the usually vibrant and lively cat now acts ornery and, in Louis's words, "a little dead." Jud confirms that Church has been resurrected and that Jud himself once buried his dog there when he was younger. Louis, deeply disturbed, begins to wish that he hadn't buried Church there. Several months later, two-year-old Gage is killed by a speeding truck. Overcome with despair, Louis considers bringing his son back to life with the help of the burial ground.
Sometimes READ is better. Tony and Matt used the remake of Pet Sematary as an excuse to return to the source: Stephen King's haunting 1983 novel. The guys go deep into what was scariest about the book and how both movies -- 1989's adaptation by Mary Lambert and 2019's remake/readaptation by Dennis Widmyer and Kevin Kolsch -- tried with varying degrees of success to turn a father's slow decent into grief-stricken madness into creature features. Which version of Church the cat did we like best? Who was the better sitcom goof-turned-exposition-dropping-Mainer, Dick from 3rd Rock or Herman Munster? Ayuh, they answer these questions and more in this week's What Did We Miss?
The person you put up there ain't the person that comes back. Actor Miko Hughes and Academy Award nominated makeup artist John Blake join host Natasha Pascetta to remember their work on PET SEMATARY in this dual episode. Miko recounts his portrayal of Gage Creed, the scene that really freaked him out, and the endearing quality of the movie. John talks about taking inspiration from DEAD HEAT for Victor Pascow’s makeup, using hair gel on the Church cats, and applying the zombified Rachel Creed makeup! Class of 89 presented on the FANGORIA Podcast Network
The barrier was not meant to be crossed! Actor Brad Greenquist joins host Natasha Pascetta as they revisit PET SEMATARY. Brad talks about portraying Victor Pascow as an angelic harbinger, FANGORIA contributor Rodney Labbe’s set visit, the cut Pascow blue screen scenes, why he ate lunch alone on set, the one line he would re-do and more!
