Episode 47 - Pumpkinhead (1988) Review

Nostalgia Highway

Greetings once again Hitchhikers!!! We’re halfway through our NHP Halloween Favorites theme for October & we’re bringing a guest with us this time - one of the hosts from Raised in Horror: The Psycho Siblings Podcast - Justin Ramsey!!! For this review, we dive into Stan Winston’s directorial debut, Pumpkinhead (1988) for EP. 47. We ask if the title is a bit misleading, leaving us with an earthbound Xenomorph-type being instead of a jack o’ lantern-headed entity. The Dick Warlock Factor is in full effect and we talk about shirtless Lance Henriksen way too much. *NOTE: At the end of the previous episode, we said Fright Night (1985) was the next review. Plans changed, so we bumped up Pumpkinhead and Fright Night will be released on Halloween.*
