Pumpkinhead Sequel(s) Update
Filed under: Horror, Home Entertainment, Remakes and Sequels
Waaaay back in April I shared the news that Pumpkinhead 3 would soon arrive from director Jake West (Evil Aliens) and actors Lance Henriksen (Near Dark) and Doug Bradley (Hellraiser), and it looks like "soon" equals October 28th ... on the Sci-Fi Channel. Ugh. I may just wait for the DVD release...But wait, there's more! Aside from Pumpkinhead 3: Ashes to Ashes, we also have a fourth chapter to (kinda) look forward to! Pumpkinhead 4: Blood Feud (formerly Pumpkinhead 4: Love Hurts) recently wrapped production under the eye of writer/director Mike Hurst, he of Room 6, House of the Dead 2, and Mansquito. Mr. Henriksen will be returning for Part 4, whereas Mr. Bradley will ... not. (Is that a Part 3 spoiler? Sorry.)
The Sci-Fi Channel co-bankrolled both of these flicks, and if you've seen more than four or five "Sci-Fi Originals" in your time, then you probably know what you're getting yourself into. If I'm not mistaken, these guys tried the same thing last year with Return of the Living Dead 4: Necropolis and Return of the Living Dead 5: Rave to the Grave -- and those didn't really work out too well.

I myself personally love sci-fi's choices. And live for the weekends,I love the movies even if some of the sequels are a little bogas!

I didn't even know there was a Pumpkinhead 2, much less a Pumpkinhead 3 and 4. Leave well enough alone.

I have fond memories of the original "Pumpkinhead", which I saw when it first made its way to video, haven't seen it since, but I seem to remember a genuinely creepy monster and some potent, interesting atmosphere, though my idea of atomsphere was probably significantly different when I was nine. Lance Henriksen is one of several '80s genre staples who i wished had broken through to greater success. He has a great, weathered, beaten face, and actual talent. Listening Mr. Tarantino?
