Other mistake: In the beginning of the scene where Gage is killed by the Orinco truck, the truck leaves the plant. The number on the trailer is marked T-80. In the scene, the truck rolls over in the accident. In later scenes where Rachel hitches a ride home with another Orinco truck, the number on the trailer is also marked T-80.

1 other mistake
Directed by: Mary Lambert
Starring: Dale Midkiff, Denise Crosby, Fred Gwynne, Brad Greenquist
Revealing mistake: When Lewis is trying to get Gage off him, as he's struggling with the scalpel, you can plainly see its not really Gage but a dummy made to look like him. Looks like a doll.
Louis Creed: Hey, why are you here?
Victor Pascow: I want to help you because, Louis? Because you tried to help me.
Trivia: George A. Romero was originally set to direct; but when filming was delayed, he dropped out, and Mary Lambert stepped in.

Answer: Because in the book, the sign at the entrance to the "Pet Semetary" was written by some anonymous child. Clearly he/she couldn't spell that well yet.
