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

For Ed Harley (Lance Henrikson) he's chosen the latter and it turns out he might've gotten more than he bargained for.

- THE NEW SCARY MONSTER, 20 YEARS LATER
It's hard to believe that it's been 20 years since the first PUMPKINHEAD film was released. Followed by some lame and some good sequels, the original does what it intends to do: it scares you.

Just released as a special 20th Anniversary edition, the movie holds up remarkably well for having been made that long ago. Sure it's not as far back as say Karloff or Lugosi films, but a number of movies from that era show their age. This one rarely does.
