Plot: A bereaved farmer enlists the aid of a terrifying demon to help avenge his son's death in this stylish horror movie that contains a strong moral. It all begins as gentle widowed farmer/general store owner Ed's beloved 10-year-old son is involved in a fatal hit-and-run accident with an careless unknown motorcyclist. Ed nearly goes berserk with grief and to bring back his son heads to the cabin of a wise old witch to see if she can rejuvenate the youth. Unfortunately, it is beyond her considerable powers so Ed, now equally desperate for revenge, invokes the legendary Pumpkinhead, a terrifying demon with the power to make the biker pay. One by one, Pumpkinhead dispatches the terrified cyclist and his friends, leaving Ed to reconsider his rashness. He tries to call the demon back, but by then it is far too late.... The film is the directorial debut of Oscar-winning special effects wizard Stan Winston. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

Classic

This movie is a Horror Gem,it is a fairy tale combined with a slasher.

The movie starts with a husband and his wife and son and daughter,the man is locking all of the doors in his place and farmwhile a guy begs to get in,he is killed by a tall and hideous creature.

I enjoyed this movie because it brang something new to the horror table back then,such as the teenagers not all having sex and doing drugs and actually being smart.

A Halloween classic

I saw this movie when it was released 20 years ago. I love the cinematography in this film. The pumpkinhead creature ranks in the top 5 of modern day horror monsters alongside Alien and Predator. Pumpkinhead is a "must see" during the month of October. Its a classic!

This is a must have for any collector of classic horror films. Lot's of bonus features to get up close and personal with the making of Pumpkinhead as well as the cast and crew involved.

Chances of surviving a Pumpkinhead attack are slim to none

In 1988 the horror world was graced with an amazing creature known as Pumpkinhead. It was introduced at a great time by offering a different type of scare in a world dominated by the slasher flick. However among film critics the movie wasn't well received as they called it senseless. In my humble opinion the critics were way wrong on this one because this film is great. It has a great plot, a true revenge motive, and one of the most horrific creatures to ever grace the horror scene.

The story is based around a local Nevada man Ed Harley and his son as they run a small isolated mom & pop shop. One day they are visited by 6 teens who are on their way to a cabin. While Harley has to run out he leaves his son behind to watch the shop and winds up being killed. It was an accident as one of the teens took him out while doing motorcycle tricks. Once Harley returns he finds his dead son and visits a recluse who vows to resurrect Pumpkinhead to exact revenge. The only issue is once Pumpkinhead is unleashed it is very hard to put an end to the chaos.

This film truly is a 5 star effort in every sense. It just has a great feel to it. The storyline keeps you very interested which is few and far between in most horror films. Also the Pumpkinhead character looks great considering the time it was released. I see lower budget films out there now that can't even compare. This one is a must for horror fans and promises to offer something a bit different.
