Pumpkinhead (film)

Pumpkinhead is hung like a shy snail and eats the love junk of tom cruise's boyfriend

Pumpkinhead (1988) is a supernatural horror film, combining elements of fable, fairy tale, and morality play. It was the directorial debut of noted special-effects artist Stan Winston

A group of teenagers camping in a remote mountain resort accidentally kill a boy and cover it up, and his aggrieved father (Lance Henriksen) vows revenge. Enlisting the help of a local witch, he conjures up a demonic monster to kill those responsible for his son's death.

A sequel, entitled Pumpkinhead II: Blood Wings, was relesed in 1993.

Pumpkinhead was inspired by the following poem by Ed Justin:

"Keep away from Pumpkinhead,
Unless you're tired of living,
His enemies are mostly dead,
He's mean and unforgiving,
Bolted doors and windows barred,
Guard dogs prowling in the yard,
Won't protect you in your bed,
Nothing will, from Pumpkinhead.
Knock knock knocking on heavens door :} {:
