Binding: VHS Tape EAN: 9780792836681 Format: Closed-captioned, Color, HiFi Sound, NTSC ISBN: 0792836685 Label: MGM (Video & DVD) Languages: Manufacturer: MGM (Video & DVD) Number Of Items: 1 Publisher: MGM (Video & DVD) Release Date: April 27, 1995 Running Time: 86 minutes Studio: MGM (Video & DVD) Theatrical Release Date: January 13, 1989 Editorial Review: Amazon.com: A starkly original visual treat, this Halloween-themed exercise in terror is uncommonly well made, seeking to add yet another creature to horror film lore. 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 mythic demonic monster to kill those responsible for his son's death. The plot and dialogue are not very original, but the creepy mood and some fine work by director Stan Winston (the special effects whiz behind Jurassic Park) make Pumpkinhead an eerie gothic horror tale and great viewing for Halloween nights. --Robert Lane Average Rating:
 Rating:  - CLASSICPUMPKINHEAD I have to say that this is one of my all time favorite movies ever, classic in my eyes by far regardless of what other people think. Every time I have watched this film it has been with a least one of my friends or my brother, this is one of those that is just so awesome to watch with other people eating pizza and drinking what ever pleases you. I have nothing but fond memories of this movie and at least once a year we all sit down and watch this, a few other films share ...

The film was actually completed in 1987, putting it right in the middle of the Golden Era of horror B. We vaguely remember this one from our youth, and upon learning that it's original production company went belly-up before the film's release, we were absolutely excited about the project. We reviewed the sequel, Pumpkinhead 2 - Blood Wings, a few weeks ago. While the sequel failed miserably as a legitamate horror flick, it ...

Unfortuantely, it looked like it was a forgotten gem among the slasher craze of the 80's. This underrated gem didn't see any love for it's first DVD, so I was really excited to see that it was finally getting the special edition that it deserves. The movie itself is a great atmospheric monster flick. Pumpkinhead looks incredibly life-like. The monster FX are amazing, especially considering its age. The cinematography ...

I am very glad I ordered early from Amazon because I have not seen it in any stores and now see it is out of stock. If you are a Pumpkinhead fanatic like me I suggest you try to track down a copy of this DVD, it truly does satisfy us collector's who have been longing for such an edition for many years. The special features go into alot of detail on the making of the film starting with the writers and producers ... Read More Rating: - A ClassicSo far as I know, this is the only movie the late Stan Winston ever directed. If that's so, it is a real shame because he was good at it -- as good as the fantastic mechanicals he built for some of the greatest sf & fantasy films of the 20th century. This little gem I came across many years ago on VHS and later when it was released on DVD. Hopefully the special edition will be in WIDESCREEN!!!! Really first-rate performances from Lance Henrikson (ALIENS) and Jeff East (SUPERMAN THE MOVIE) in a tale of revenge ... Read More |
