Pumpkinhead 1 + 2 (Blu-ray)

“FOR EACH OF MAN’S EVILS, A SPECIAL DEMON EXISTS...” Hello there and happy Wednesday to you all. Just one more day of work and it’s the weekend for me, which is always exciting. As I was unwinding after today’s madness, I thought it time to revisit another classic creature feature double feature 👻 this time around, we have the cult classic, and the legendary special effects wizard Stan Winston’s magnum opus, Pumpkinhead. The original is a childhood classic of mine, and I watched it more times than I can imagine. It was actually this Scream Factory release that got me into collecting for them, and it’s been a several times a year watch ever since. The sequel was one of those films that I didn’t like when I originally saw it. Over time and several rewatches its become an underrated favorite, with slightly loopier, less atmospheric feel, a game performance from Andrew Robinson (you know, poor man’s Randy Quaid!), and plenty of glorious Pumpkinhead goodness. I’m still hoping Scream or someone will put out a double feature of the remaining two films Ashes to Ashes and Blood Feud, as well as progress on the long planned but seemingly sidelined/forgotten reboot (Blumhouse, this is right up your ally!). What about all of you? Any other fans of this late 80’s cult classic and it’s mid 90’s terrible, but awesome sequel? Let me know! @shoutfactory
