The Pet Sematary teaser trailer is here, giving us a glimpse at Dennis Widmyer and Kevin Kölsch‘s (Starry Eyes) take on the Stephen King classic.

*Spoilers for Season 8, Episode 3 of American Horror Story: Apocalypse* I bet you’ll never want to bob for apples ever again. (Besides the fact that it’s super gross…even for us non-germophones.)
