Both Pumpkinhead and the town want to kill each other, whose gonna live? I'll give this movie credit for one thing, it increases the monstrosity from the first. ![]() As the killings start to occur, Sheriff Braddock tries to piece this whole mystery together amidst an agitated and highly superstitious town. Now with the boy's soul inside him, Pumpkinhead goes after his killers (now middle aged) and his awakeners. As it happens, the body they dig up is deformed boy who in the 1950s was killed by a group of town ruffians. Getting a little carried away one night, a group of kids resurrect a body which is buried on the property of the town's fabled witch. It is just another low budget horror which offers some charms for the monster fans. As a result Pumpkinhead II is no better or worse than Stan Winston's film. Pumpkinhead II, contains better acting, a more interesting back story, while at the same time, it is noisier, less stylish and unconvincing in special effects. ![]() ![]() Pumpkinhead II is interesting because it succeeds where its predecessor failed and where that one succeeded, this one fails.
