All the Differences Between the 3 Versions of ‘Pet Sematary’

Norma Crandall

Paramount Pictures

The character of Norma Crandall has never been fully translated to film. In Stephen King’s novel, the wife of Jud Crandall is a prominent figure in the story, and a lot of text is devoted to detailing her deteriorating health as a result of severe arthritis. Norma is missing entirely from the 1989 movie, and in the 2019 version, she’s a spooky ghost. Because a story about bringing people back from the dead didn’t have enough afterlife shenanigans, apparently.
