Ain't nothing this podcast can do for you, 'cept send you to hell...or maybe send you out for tacos. Brian and Cargill continue their unintended, but still great, redneck horror theme with 1988's Pumpkinhead. 

The directorial debut of effects master Stan Winston, Pumpkinhead is a perfect horror flick. The contemporary fairy tale with one of the genre's most empathetic protagonists (who is also kind of the villain) also happens to feature one of the greatest monsters ever committed to film. 

Gather your kin, sit a spell, and mind where you step. The woods are full of...Kenny Loggins?

I have 3 things to say. 1. I rewatched the movie earlier today and I liked it more than I did years ago. 2. This was unintentionally a better adaptation of I Know What You Did Last Summer than the 1997 movie. For those of you who don't know, the kids accidentally run over a little boy in the original 1973 novel. 3. I owned a read-along TMNT comic (there was an audio tape that came with it) that paid homage to Pumpkinhead. In it, the character of Leatherhead was originally a man named Jess Harley who was transformed into the alligator creature by a witch who over-enunciated his name. (I actually didn't know it was an homage until I saw Pumpkinhead later on.) <a href="http://turtlepedia.wikia.com/wiki/Jess_Harley" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://turtlepedia.wikia.com/wiki/Jess_Harley</a>
