Does anyone know what animal or bird could have been making that frightening sound they all hear while camping out in the woods? Teddy thinks it's the Brower kid's ghost, of course, and there is talk of coyotes.
I am rewatching the film right now and just came to that scene. It really is pretty freaky! I just can't figure out if it's a real critter or not. Some of the other howls in the background definitely sound like they could be wolves or coyotes, but not that main shriek that Gordy says sounds like a woman screaming.

I grew up about a block and a half away from a golf course in southeast Vancouver. There were coyotes that lived in the woods there, and you could hear them howling at night. It was just like the noises in the woods in SbM.

Realrockerhalloween is correct. I read something to this effect once,(I'm sorry I don't remember where) but I think it was in a list of things, places and characters that commonly re-occur in his stories. They did link Pet Semetary to The Body when mentioning the Wendigo.
Not that it was a big part of this story because this isn't a paranormal tale but it is Stephen King. -

King has written about a loon, in that sense of the word, more than a couple times. I think its a bird. There was also the continual shrill shriek of a loon in The Raft, a short story they used in Creepshow 2. (not sure if the film included it).

Wolves, miles & miles away. Can be heard that far in the empty nighttime woods.
