When a group of teenagers inadvertently kill his only son, Ed Harley (Lance Henriksen, Aliens) seeks the powers of a backwoods witch to bring the child back to life. But instead, she invokes 'the pumpkinhead' (a monstrously clawed demon which, once reborn, answers only to Ed's bloodlust). But as the creature wreaks it's slow, unspeakable tortures on the teens, Ed confronts a horrifying secret about his connection to the beast: and realizes that he must find a way to stop it's deadly mission before he becomes one with the creature forever. Also starring Jeff East (DEADLY BLESSING), Joel Hoffman (SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE II) and Kerry Remsen (A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 2: FREDDY'S REVENGE), this 'atmospheric, moralistic tale' (TV Guide) delivers demonic horror at it's blood-drenched best.
