After grossing over five times its production budget, Pet Sematary got a sequel in the form of Pet Sematary: Bloodlines, a prequel set 50 years before the initial film. Featuring an ensemble of new actors, Henry Thomas is one of the picture’s leads. As the ET alumnus tells us, he boarded the project because of his character’s deep, dark secret.

“For me, I liked the fact that he had this generational secret he was keeping under wraps,” Thomas tells ComicBook.com. “He’s all about very adamantly looking after his son’s well being then there’s the group of people meeting and he’s like, ‘What is this weird secret society?’”
