Plot

In the tranquil embrace of the countryside, a band of carefree city kids seek refuge from their bustling lives. Their retreat takes a tragic turn when a biking mishap claims the life of Billy Harley, the cherished son of Ed Harley, the local storekeeper. Ed's world crumbles, the warmth of his heart extinguished, replaced by a cold, relentless thirst for retribution. In his relentless pursuit of vengeance, Ed turns to an obscure, eerie entity, a woman whispered to be a witch in the local lore. She conjures for him a monstrous demon known as "Pumpkinhead", a chilling embodiment of Ed's rage. Unleashed upon the unsuspecting bikers, Pumpkinhead is an unstoppable force, a relentless specter of death, driven by Ed's desire for justice. As the demon wreaks havoc, Ed is tormented by unnerving visions, glimpses into the terrifying deaths of the city kids through the monstrous eyes of Pumpkinhead. Realization dawns upon him, the horrifying consequences of his reckless desire for revenge. In an ironic twist of fate, the once wrathful storekeeper must now challenge the very monster he summoned, in a desperate attempt to save the lives he initially sought to destroy. "Pumpkinhead" is a chilling dance of death and revenge, a haunting reminder of the destructive power of anger and the potential consequences of a heart blinded by grief. The city kids' rural escape transforms into a terrifying struggle for survival, with a father's regret and a demon's wrath shaping their fates.
