At school Clyde Parker torments Jeff over his mother's fame, and the housekeeper Chase hires, Marjorie Hargrove, is a devoted fan of Renee.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Pet Sematary II (1992)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Director Mary Lambert's original idea for the sequel had Ellie Creed, played by Blaze Berdahl and the only survivor of the first Pet Sematary, as the lead. Paramount doubted a teenage girl could carry the film, so it was rewritten with new characters and a boy, Jeff Matthews.
- Mary Lambert said the MPAA threatened to give Pet Sematary Two an NC-17 rating unless she cut out certain scenes. She fought to keep the R rating and had to remove material she really liked.
- Stephen King, who wrote the novel that the first Pet Sematary was based on, had his name removed from the sequel before it was released.
