4th Night of Horrors PumpkinHead

  So I decided to break my short sci-fi horror trend and look at a little know horror film called Pumpkinhead. Funny story I first learned of Pumpkinhead when I was 10 or 9 something like that and the VHS cover actually scared me, thought looking back at that cover I don`t even think it`s the same monster as in the film,

                                     The Pumpkinhead on the cover that scared my 9 year old self

                                            How it appears near the end of the film
 you be the judge.

Anywho Pumpkinhead is the simple story of a loving single father who wants revenge against a group of young people when one accidentally kill his son by having a witch raise a demon called Pumpkinhead. He soon regrets his actions after he starts to feel the pain Pumpkin inflicts on it`s victims and tries to stop it which leaves to his death and him becoming the new Pumpkinhead which in no way effects the squeal Pumpkinhead 2:Blood Wings, hell the Pumpkinhead is a totally different person in the squeal. Despite it`s simplicity I actually rather enjoy this film there some good buildup, the Pumpkinhead design is very good and one thing that I really appreciate is that all the characters aren`t all jackass like so many horror movies nowdays. Well to be fair the one who accidentally kills the boy is an asshole but he changes later, something you rarely see in horror films(at least the ones I`ve seen). So all in all a decent little horror movie that I think is worth checking out, this is WinterDeathPeach saying peace out.
