The "PERFECT" Horror Movie Role

Fred Gwynne as Jud Crandall in PET SEMETERY is awesome! Hands down one of the most "perfect" role next to Donald Pleasance playing Loomis! Agree or disagree? I mean he nails that whole creepy yet mentor role!

Absolutely!!

Fred Gwynn is The Gold Standard!

He was good in My Coun Vinny actually. Which could have been a train wreck of a movie. He died really quick after that movie I think. That was his last one.

LOL!What a terrific movie. The second one, eh. It's still fun but man its just not the same without Fred.

Who else can we think of that was built to play a specific role?

Donald Pleasance as Loomis? Of course!

What about the guy that played Tramer. Couldn't have went to a better guy!Although I think he has passed away both in the fiery car accident of HalloweeN 2 and in real life. Probably eating a donut or something, what a resume though!

Fred Gwynne was perfect in Pet Semetary, but Donald is definitely an equal if not slightly better. Only because he is more of a presence...

Indeed, he was perfect for the part, I also loved him as the country judge in "My Coun Vinny" Fred was an awesome actor
