"Sometimes dead is better." Nearly 25 years ago, viewers heard Jud Crandall's wise quote when Pet Sematary was released to theaters. The memorable movie was based on Stephen King's 1983 novel and directed by Mary Lambert off a screenplay by King, and now Mondo is giving fans of the film a Halloween treat with the release of the Pet Sematary soundtrack 2XLP vinyl, along with The Omen striped variant vinyl LP.

The Pet Sematary and The Omen vinyl LPs, in addition to a special Pet Sematary poster, will be available to purchase at a random time tomorrow. Stay tuned to Mondo’s Twitter for the big announcement:

Press Release - "This Halloween we're celebrating two horror cult classics, PET SEMATARY and THE OMEN. In addition to the killer PET SEMATARY poster by Mike Saputo, we'll also be releasing the soundtrack on 2XLP vinyl with the same artwork, pressed on 180 Gram black vinyl with randomly inserted Translucent Green / Blue vinyl with Black Haze. We'll also be releasing THE OMEN Striped Variant vinyl LP. We released the soundtrack last March, but due to some audio issues, the Striped Variant was never put up on the site. We can't think of a better day to release the re-pressing than Halloween. More details and images for tomorrow's release can be found HERE.
