Revealing mistake: When Louis is trying to get Gage off him near the end of the movie, as he's struggling in a few shots you can plainly see it's not really Gage but a dummy made to look like him. Looks like a doll. (01:33:35)

Jud Crandall: How's your cat, Louis?
Louis Creed: It's Ellie's cat.
Jud Crandall: No. It's your cat now.
Trivia: George A. Romero was originally set to direct; but when filming was delayed, he dropped out, and Mary Lambert stepped in.
Answer: Because in the book, the sign at the entrance to the "Pet Semetary" was written by some anonymous child. Clearly he/she couldn't spell that well yet.
