Errors in Pet Sematary
- Chapter 4 says that the moving men brought in a part of Louis and Rachel's double bed, but later in Chapter 17, when Louis awakes from his nightly journey together with Pascow, he observes that Rachel's bed is empty. So the double bed has become twin beds, or what? (This error was discovered by Michelle and Stephanie Robinson)
- Louis dreams that he would discuss wife swapping with Roger and Missy Dandridge while dreaming in Chapter 16, but later in chapter 36 Roger Dandridge's name has been changed to David.
- After burying Church in chapter 22 it says that Jud only grabbed the pick and walked off, while Louis took the shovel. But on the following page it says that Louis handed Jud his pick. A pick that he didn't carry!
- In Chapter 9 Louis notices that his daughter always seems to wear dresses on Sundays, although they don't attend church. But later in Chapter 37, Ellie tells Louis about Lazarus, whom she has heard about in Sunday School. Does church and Sunday School not go hand in hand with each other? (This error was discovered by Holly Hoxter)
- Chapter 39 states that Jimmy Baterman died 15 July 1943, but later in Chapter 42 it says that he died on the 19th. (This error was found by Lane - thanks)
- At the beginning of Chapter 32, when Norma Crandall dies, it says "It had not been a heart attack. It had been a brain embolism". In Chapter 57, after Louis has buried Gage in the MicMac burial ground, he looks around the living room and thinks "There was his chair, where he had done his best to explain the facts of death to Ellie after Norma Crandall's fatal heart attack." She didn't die of a heart attack, she died of a brain embolism. (This error was found by Lisa J Jimenez - Thanks)
- In Chapter 57 Louis rummages through his rather untidy bag, with ampules of morphine between the surgical scissors and the surgical tape. Later in Chapter 60, it says that his bag is always arranged neatly.
- When Louis filled the syringes with Morphine in chapter 61, he puts them back in his pocket. Now we all know just how thin the needles are, so why did they not break? Even the plastic coverings are not all that strong.
- When Louis killed Church with the Morphine in chapter 61, it was said that the syringe fell off and broke. Plastic syringes are pretty hard to break!
- In Chapter 61 it says that Rachel had been stabbed a dozen times with Louis' scalpel. But wouldn't a scalpel break, if it had been used to stab a person at random a dozen times?
