Pumpkinhead Lives!
Since I missed posting on Tuesday I figured I’d post two new items today and they are both related to movie news. I already talked about Saw III (sorry about my little ranting in the article, but sequels are a touchy issue with me) now lets switch gears to the announcement for plans to bring an 80’s horror monster back to life on the big screen. According to Fangoria and The Horror Channel the green light was given to Pumpkinhead sequels. That’s right I said sequels. It appears that the Sci-Fi channel is ultimately behind the Stan Winston creature resurrection although there is no mention that Winston’s studios will be along for the ride that Gary Tunnicliffe, who did all the effects work on the most recent Hellraiser and Prophecy sequels will be creating the demon anew. Let’s hope the creature looks similar to Winston’s since it looked so frickin’ awesome!
However it seems Lance Henriksen has signed on and will appear in both sequels as a ghost reprising his role from the original. That’s all about the plot that has leaked out so far. The movies are being shot back to back, but are tentatively being premiered on the Sci-Fi channel about a year apart. So far some decently well known names have signed on other than good ole Lance. The third Pumpkinhead movie will begin shooting with Evil Aliens director Jake West at the helm. It will be shot in Romania and will lead directly into shooting the fourth sequel with House of the Dead 2 director Mike Hurst. That’s it for now about the projects. Since they are direct to TV I don’t expect much other than they are entertaining in some way. I’ll keep an eye on this one since I’m a huge Pumpkinhead fan and let you know what I come up with.
