And The Halloween Movie Of The Day Is...................
Now, girls, I personally have not seen this 1988 gem, but I have been wanting to for ages, and what better time than Halloween. Think of it as a follow-up to watching "It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!!!!!!!!!!"
This is basically a revenge story. A country store owner, named Ed Harley is hit with tragedy, when his small son, is run over by a biker gang! What kinds of monsters are these, to run over a child! They pretend like it was an accident, but, yeah, sure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Harley goes to see a witch--in films like this, there is always one luriking about; why not, in real life, when one could really use one?????? She directs him to go to an old pumpkin patch, and dig up a disfigured corpse, which she magically brings to life..........hence Pumpkinhead!!!!!!!!!!
This creature then goes over the bikers who killed Harley's son. I am sure
there is some sort of moral, and a price to pay--there is always is--but instead of watching Jamie Lee Curtis banging on doors tonight, screaming for help that is never coming, this could be that something different, which all my girls need!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And it's not nearly as gruesome or disturbing as Sylvia Miles in "The Funhouse!!!!!!!!!!!" Or "The Sentinel!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Here is to a fun Halloween, kids!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
