    My favorite side character in the whole show is the old farmer from down the rod. " I know what youre thinkin Stotch…you need to just accept that your son is dead, and not try to bring him back. I know you’re thinkin of bringing him up there, the Indian burial ground up that rod. What youre thinkin ofs been done before, the Anderson boys in 85. What’s comes outta the ground aint the thing you put it. Don’t bury your boy in that Indian burial ground, the one right up over there, behind the Anderson’s barn. Sometimes dead is better"

        Yes same character. Based on the actor Fred Gwynne, and in particular the role he played in the film Pet Semetary.

        Fun fact: Fred gwynne also wrote several successful children’s books that were all playing on wordplay and puns. “The King Who Rained” and “a chocolate moose for dinner” were two of my faves growing up
