Pumpkinhead: Exploring A Cult Classic & Its Underrated Sequel 

Pumpkinhead is honestly one of my favorite horror movies. Love it.

Completely agree the first two Pumpkinhead films are the best to watch and fun fact: the house the teens stay at in the first movie is Tommy Jarvis' home in Friday the 13th Final Chapter.

I think one of the best things about the first film is how Pumpkinhead and Ed begin to resemble each other to show off their connection. In the sequel, I think it's how he gets humanized, a victim lashing out with no restraint.

Locked doors and windows barred. Guard dogs prowling in the yard. Nothing will keep you safe in your bed. Nothing will, from Pumpkin head!

The First Pumpkinhead Still Stands The Best Of Time The Sequels On The Other Hand I Wouldn't Even Bother With Them.

"Its what you wanted Ed Harley."

The first movie was fantastic and the Pumpkinhead monster is awesome. The Witch was great, I didn't find her scarier then Pumpkinhead but she is for sure crucial to the story. Part 2 was good, but I didn't like that they changed Pumpkinhead's and the Witch's origins. I liked that her origins were unknown and Pumpkinhead a demon of vengeance. I'd be so down if they ignored everything after 1, and continued from 1 and maybe even do some prequels.

Pumpkinhead is 1 of my favorite movies and was so good it set up a sequel and how it should go then they didn't bother . The 2nd was ok but just doesn't male sense after the 1st movie I like that they tried with 3 and 4 but they just weren't as good as the 1st

Blood Wings always made me cry.

I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!! I still have my VHS copy, and I bought a shirt at Horror Hound in Cincinnati last year. I wore it to the school I teach at on dress down day; and one of my seventh grade students loves the movie so we spent the class discussing it.

Pumpkinhead is a classic, plain and simple.

I remember seeing this jem back in 1988 in the movie theater at 13 years old. My grandmom told the attendee that my uncle was already seated ,if she could walk me in to him. She walked me to the theater , got me seated, told me that she would be outside when it was over and walked out. So there i was a thirteen year old surrounded by a bunch of horror junkies as was i. I loved and saw part to in the theaters as well thanks to my grandmom who loved me. By far two not talked about two horror gems💀💀☠️☠️

This was my 1st horror movie ever, still love it. Only 2 movies ever scared me, and this was one...

I fell in love with Pumpkinhead back when I still had cable, the Syfy channel used to show it all the time. 🎃 💜

Now this is the story Of a good man named Ed Left his son for a moment Returned, found him dead Recalls a tale as a boy he was told Of an evil witch, so wicked, so old Seeks a farmer's advice he will not give His oldest son knows just where the witch lived He took Ed there but refused to go in The boy knew what was about to begin She had the power to avenge the dead "It cost your soul, now come with me Ed" I'm gonna take you where your body will lie I'm gonna take you there, my friend I'm gonna show you where your life will end I'm gonna bring you here again Dig up this grave, the old lady said The thing we need it lies there dormant, sleeping with the dead You understand what you ask of me Not even death can set your soul free I cast this curse and you will find An evil darkness deep inside your vengeful mind "God damn you to Hell!", he could not restrain He already has son, the witch did explain I'm gonna take you where your body will lie I'm gonna take you there, my friend I'm gonna show you where your life will end I'm gonna bring you here again Pumpkinhead! Pumpkinhead! I'm gonna take you where your body will lie I'm gonna take you there, she said I'm gonna show you where your life will end This curse I cast, you're Pumpkinhead! Keep away from Pumpkinhead unless you're tired of living His enemies are mostly dead, he's mean and unforgiving

“the curse the curse of pumpkin head”

Yes is criminally one of the underrated horror movies of all time , this movie use to freak me the fuck out when I was kid , the 1st is the very best while the 2nd was alright it was enjoyable enough while it had its flaws then the franchise quickly went down the drain very fast after the 2nd movie

Mayor Bubba was played by former US Prez Bill Clinton's half brother Roger Clinton.

PH 1 was the first scary movie I watched as a kid Scared the crap out of me.

Spoony did a complete evisceration of the Bloodwings game several years ago. It's glorious.

This writer is back! Hope you ate keeping well dude!

2 is pretty good also. I remember renting it when it first came out. For some reason I enjoyed it.

The best narrator is back 👍👍👍👍

The witch reminds me of Rhea of Cöos Hill from one of Stephen Kings books.

Blood wings is a movie I watch at least twice a year, I believe it to be the best horror movie sequel ever made. I can probably play the movie in my head start to finish and not miss a line of dialog.

I remember thinking 3-Fingers from the Wrong Turn franchise looked a lot like the poor, bullied soul of the second Pumpkinhead.

What did you think it would be clean and painless. G- damn you woman. He already has Ed Harley he already has.

I have a digital copy of this movie in my collection

I knew the day I saw this one, it was a instant classic . A Stan Winston Masterpiece no less. I had been a fan of Stan since I found out he worked on star wars. And this was the first movie of it's kind that had been promoted as a special effects driven story, with a powerhouse special effects master without equal brining the cinematic vision to life. Wasn't disappointed. A unique visual vision of a nightmare ❤❤❤🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃

Pumpkinhead is by far the scariest monster to me and scared me as a kid. Yet is still one of my favorites. Too bad all sequels suck. Second one is cheap, doesn't follow any of the lore established, and pumpkinhead isn't nearly a frighting looking.

Lance Riddick is great in the first one

@13:10, ahem… Elim Garek on DS9?

That Book of the Dead it sure does get around. It's in the pumpkin head universe as well as the Friday the 13th universe. The OG Multiverse hopper.

Whats the background music ?

These are 2 movies worth watching anytime!

Same dog appeared in Gremlins.

They really are good!!! Pumpkinhead its self was fucking scary! a killing machine that has to be summoned not just killing everyone blindly noooo not pumkin head he has a mission... evil begats evil type of deal. Thanks for talking about these!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🎃🎃🎃🎃

The first movie was super scary and the monster is underrated in horror history the sequel was hot 🗑️

Was Pumpkinhead 2 nominated for best screenplay?

This movie is always so weird to me because it has otherworldly feel. Feels like it was filmed with a home movie camera in the early 70s. None of that was a diss by the way it’s awesome

I wonder, would Pumpkinhead, the first one anyway, be considered folk horror?

Great video but the video is zoomed in and looks weird majority of the time.

It was actually a man who played the witch.

Punky Brewster the resident goth girl.

Um, Stan Winston died in 2008.

no such thing as a sweet country song

one my favorite movies to watch at halloween. in fact i watched this last night. joel was an a$$hole

You're gonna bring up Andrew Robinson and NOT mention Garak? Lol 🙄😂

❤🎃🎃

I wish practical effects were more prominent today......cg is getting lame

Pumpkinhead 2 isn't underrated. It's trash.

Dude, "Pumpkinhead" belongs in the annels of horror movie history. This movie DOES NOT belong in the "Best you've "never"0 seen" category. It is a horror masterpiece. Stan Winston's (the King of SFX) Directing debut. Lance Henrikson in the lead role, two years after playing the iconic android "Bishop" in "Aliens." And "Haggis the Witch" is the topping of the cake! EASILY Top 10 greatest horror movie of all time. However, the Pumpkinhead lsequels... Need to stay the WORST you'll hopefully NEVER see category. They are HORRIBLE! Def not worth watching. Don't waste your time. Watch the original and STOP there. The rest are B movie straight to video disappointments.

Omg... I was eight with bad parents. Now i love this garbage movie.

Good sequel 😊

Ya need new movies to talk about, same things over an over

Cool, underrated movie. I still cant find all the sequels.

Turn the music off
