PUMPKINHEAD 1988 (SHOUT FACTORY)

Stan Winston directed this classic tale of supernatural revenge.

Lance Henriksen is a man who runs a small store in a very small town and takes care of his young son as well. One day a group of wild teens come by and in a freak accident the young boy is killed.

Sick with grief and anger Henriksen goes into the swamp and evoke a demon called Pumpkinhead which will kill all the teens one by one.

The demon is a terrifying creation and is shown quite a bit. Once seen it isn't forgotten so easily. Winston does a great job directing his first film.

Henriksen gives a great performance as a man driven to desperate means in anger then realizes he has gone too far. The Blu-ray release is perfect for any horror fan, and a huge thanks to Shout for putting this out with a ton of extras as well.
