Based on Stephen King's terrifying supernatural tale, Pet Sematary is a new adaptation of the novel about a pet cemetery.
The story revolves around a family moving from Boston to a rural village in Maine. They will discover a pet graveyard across the street from their new house.
The burial site is made by children, who misspelled the word on the sign. An old neighbor claims that the animals buried there have seen come back to life.
Welcome to Ludlow and our guide to the filming locations of Pet Sematary.
Most of the town was filmed in Hudson, a small suburb of Montreal.
The sign 'Welcome to Ludlow' was placed on Main Road, in front of the community center.
Part of the set dressing included temporary changes to business storefronts in the downtown core.

The Pet Sematary house

The most important location in King’s novel is the infamous cemetery.
Slashfilm.com visited the set and reported that the sematary was built in a big, open clearing deep into the woods, on the grounds of the house.
The church where the funeral takes place is the St James Church Hall in Hudson's main street. The graveyard was also filmed here.

Thanks to Robert from Set-Jetter for finding Rachel’s house location: The mansion is nearly right across the street from the church at 647 rue Main in Hudson.
This house was also featured in the 1981 film Happy Birthday To Me.

Wtf shoot a movie in Canada but based in Maine? Makes no sense
ReplyDeleteI was thinking the same thing...first one was filmed in Maine why not this one?
Deletecheaper to film in canada plus that area of quebec looks alot like maine .not that far away
DeleteIf you think that it "makes no sense" for a movie to be filmed somewhere other than the place in which the script is set, then you are incredibly naive and do not know much at all about movie production, financing, and location scouting. Filming a movie in a location other than the one that the script is set in is quite common practice.
Delete*spoiler alert* This person probably also believes that the girl in the movie killed her family and burned an infant to death in a car in real life!
DeleteI live in the area and the Creed house is not too difficult to find with Google maps! There are only a few roads that are that narrow and have lots of trees. Street View shows the house that matches the movie pictures. The Hospital is John Abbot College in Saint Anne de Bellevue. It looked odd as a hospital with so many students at the main entrance. Not the first time it was in a movie.
ReplyDeleteHello Efzauner! can you give us another hint plz! I just want to drive in front of it. Like lets take as a point of reference the "Cooper Aviation Inc - Saint-Lazare Airport" is it to the north/south east or west of this airport! You're hint will be deeply appreciated! Have a nice 2021!
DeleteThis is the location: 45°25'31.80"N 74°12'38.73"W
DeleteThat sign says "WECOME TO LUDLOW" Established 1774. Is a picture of the sign in ludlow, Mass. I graduated from ludlow high in 1974, our bicentennial year.
ReplyDeleteLooked up ludlow me. And there pop. Figures go back to mid 1800s?
I thought I recognized the sign. And it might be on center st
Sidewalk, architecture, church look familiar.
Pretty sure the welcome to ludlow sign was taken in ludlow Ma.
Rachel's house is right across the street from the cemetery and located at 647 Rue Main, see my website here: https://www.set-jetter.com/ontheset/petsematary2019
ReplyDeleteThis house was also Virginia's house in Happy Birthday To Me (1981).
Thank you Robert, updated!
