I miss something?
Does it matter when you're talking about a movie as daft as this one?
Oh, and if this has been asked before then I can only apologise for being too lazy to go through all the threads.
Well, I'm guessing cuz Gus killed him, he sort of claimed ownership.

In Pet Sematary a semi kills both Church and Gauge, but Louis buries them so maybe it's not who kills them but who buries them. Another idea which would only apply to Pet Sematary 2 was that since Gus was already possessed he had the power to bring them back. In a separate note, he should of brought back Drew and his mom.
shareThe You Bury Your Own rule means what YOU bury is YOURS. Remember what Jud said in the first movie? "What you buy, is what you own. and what you own always comes back to you."
Louis didn't know what he was doing when he put church up there. So he unknowingly took ownership. Gage though he knew.
I think Gus burried Clyde instead of Drew and Amanda (drew's mom) was because Clyde was more his style of a son. Drew was fat, lazy, and nothing like Gus. Amanda never backed up Gus on anything he said so she wasn't his perfect wife. I believe Gus' sole intention was to make his own undead family. Have Jeff bury Renee so Gus and Renee could be together again. Bury Clyde so he can be their son and kill Jeff. Gus was going to kill Chase. It all adds up.

Remember when Church died, and Louis was told you bury your own, he replied back "But its not my cat its Ellies Cat." And Judd told him "No, your cat now." Burying them implies ownership to the corpse. 'That's the way the Indians did it' simply is a fact that the Indians did burry their loved ones. It's a guideline more than I rule I think.
shareThe thing I don't get is, if Gus was trying to build an undead army(hence he buried Clyde), why didn't he also bury Drew and his mom? Even though they were nice, they would've come back evil. Would've added to Gus's ranks and probably be more effective in the final battle. Imagine Jeff having to confront his dead friend?
shareThe thing is, Gus hated Drew. Drew wasn't his son and was nothing like him. Clyde fit Gus' style more. So by him burying Clyde he would have the son he always wanted. By Jeff burying his mom there, Gus would have "the one that got away." The three of them, gus renee and clyde, would be the family gus always wanted.

Clyde was rotten--Gus was rotten--maybe Gus was Clyde's real dad.
share"Clyde was rotten--Gus was rotten--maybe Gus was Clyde's real dad"
That's Exactly what I was thinking!! Kinda looked like him too ;P
The only other really logical reasoning would be that since Gus was already a re-animate, it gave him some extra special ability to bring back whoever he buried there.
As for Church being Ellie's cat, I kinda thought that whoever would have gotten him for her would be the "real" owner...
Perhaps it doesn't count if someone who's been reanimated buries someone there.
"See You Next Wednesday"
Yeah, everything falls apart in the last act. I was sort of on board and digging the cheesy "Eerie Indiana" vibe for the first half, and then it veers off and loses all sense of internal logic.
I'm having a hard time following the undead motivation. For a while, it's like they're protecting the people who brought them back. First the dog saves the son from being beat up by the sheriff, then the sheriff saves his son's friend from being bullied. But then the sheriff is seen being evil, so he wipes out his wife and kid, then decides to... what, trick Ed Furlong into bringing back his mother? Create an evergrowing army of the undead?
And the absololute worst part is Ed Furlong's instant descent into EEEEVIILLLLL. Out of nowhere, he turns into this ghoulish Peter Lorre figure, happily standing by as his step mom has her face carved up in the next room. And yet a minute later, he finds out his undead mom was playing him, so suddenly he's a good guy again?
It's like like he was under some sort of mind control, or a dark spell. He was just inexplicably evil for ten minutes, because the screenwriter couldn't think of anything better. And then like that, we're supposed to cheer for him at the end.
