Stan Winston’s 1988 feature, Pumpkinhead.
It’s polarizing, undeniably original, yet somehow unfulfilling.
Either way, it’s worth a look.
There’s a prologue featuring a family out in a cabin in the woods (always good) and something scary lurking therein.
Fast forward and the boy who saw something untoward is all grown up (Lance Henriksen portrays Ed Harley), with a son of his own and running a general store.
Who should happen by? A bunch of college kids on a dirt bike vacation.
When out acting crazily and impulsively, a tragedy occurs. And it’s the fault of those no-good kids. As a result, dad has to exact revenge, which he does by proxy – by way of the eponymous creature.
Join us as we discuss Pumpkinhead!
An unlikely, though very strong, candidate for one of the worst comedies of all time, The Master of Disguise is billed as “1000 faces…and not a single clue.” The latter could be an indictment of whoever financed this, a film with a potential audience of basically nobody. It’s too advanced for kids, yet too dumb for adults; its mired in a middle of nothing.
Jacuzzi romps, lesbian nurses,evil experiments, a blackmail plot, an undercover investigation and an all-star cast of B-movie nonentities, Hellhole features the glorious gams of Mary Woronov, the champion chin of Robert Z’Dar, the not particularly great Marjoe Gortner and much much more (actually, not that much, truth be told).
