The 1980s creature feature Pumpkinhead paved the way for three sequels (three!), a video game, a short-lived comic book series at Dark Horse and the endless rumors that a reboot might be in the works. Seriously, these things have come and gone so many times, I’ve lost track.
There’s a report today that Brad Krevoy – who produced Pumpkinhead II: Blood Wings, Pumpkinhead: Ashes to Ashes and Pumpkinhead: Blood Feud – is aiming to reboot the monster that Stan Winston realized on the screen back in 1988.
Pumpkinhead is a demon of vengeance. A creature who is summoned by someone looking for revenge, but those who conjure Pumpkinhead pay a price…
We’ll see if Krevoy actually gets this going. Obviously, a reboot is unnecessary. The original holds up just fine, but hopefully, a reboot will be substantially better than those awful sequels.
