Director: Stan Winston
Stars: Lance Henriksen, Jeff East, John D'Aquino, Kimberly Ross, Joel Hoffman, Cynthia Bain
Plot: Ed Harley gets a witch to raise the demon Pumpkinhead to wreak vengeance on the "cityfolk" who killed his son.
The plot pretty much says it all. Once Pumpkinhead is called upon, the rest of the movie is just about the people trying to get away from it and the man, Ed, regretting his decision. This all starts when one guy, Joel, accidentally runs over Ed's son with a dirt bike. So if you have issues with children dying in movies, you might want to skip this one. However, if you enjoy revenge movies, watch it and laugh maniacally at the cityfolks' doom. Personally, I just like movies with weird looking monsters, or as they say in this movie:
"It's got her!"
"What's got her?"
"It's a thing!"
"A thing?!"
Try to imagine the alien from Alien (1979) as a twisted root vegetable. Got it? OK so that's basically what Pumpkinhead looks like. Can you see the similarity?
