Well this was a very nostalgic #Monsterdon for me. First because I saw this one on the big screen when it was new, and second because I actually grew up in the foothills of East Tennessee. (Though the farthest I went with mountain magic was frog charming, but still!)

Thank you for all the fun, and thank you @Taweret for hosting!

I'm imagining the film was originally titled _Woods Monster Hates Teenagers. And then the monster masks were made and everyone on set kept calling them "Pumpkinheads." And the director thought it was so funny, he retitled the film.

THE END

OK so Ed is like Pumpkinhead by Proxy so guns really do work you just have to find the right target I guess I dunno. I am not sure what the point of all if this was but it was fun pointlessness anyways

Thanks for a gourd ol' 80s horror #Monsterdon @Taweret !

#monsterdon I've made this joke before but the 1980's were nearly as good a decade for the film harmonicist as the 70's was. Plenty of work: You just knew it was gonna be some hills-have-eyes hillbilly punching affair though. Occasionally you got a Night Court bumper but by then the slap bassists had moved in on all the good gigs.

okay, i do wish the transition from "I want revenge" to "oh, sorry, turns out i didn't want revenge" was a little smoother, or maybe drawn out or something, but like, damn, that was an actually good movie i think. great job, #monsterdon (^_^)

Another #Monsterdon is in the can!

Thanks to @Taweret for hosting!

Tonight's feature, #Pumpkinhead, from 1988, wasn't about the origin of Pumpkin Spice. Instead, we had,

Monster kill in the first ten minutes!Foot stew!A witch named Haggis!Blood magic!Cross a xenomorph with a pumpkin? You get Pumpkinhead! Pumkinhead, bike mechanic!And it all ends with fire!

Wiat -- he shot himself in the head, got up, walked over a few feet then got up again only to be shot a second time

That's two Lewton Buses by my count.

(The thing where there's a jumpscare and it turns out to be something harmless; first instance being a scene with a bus in the 1942 movie Cat People, produced by Val Lewton)

Whenever someone is trying to rescue people they're like, "You wanna LIVE?"

I want someone to stop and go, "No, genius, I WANNA DI - ", and then the monster gets them, death by sarcasm

"Creature that you think will be harmed by the Christian cross in fact doesn't care about it at all" is becoming a #Monsterdon trope

Punkinhead's like: "I've been trying to reach you about your extended warranty...."

also, the cross didn't really help whatsherface, so i'm not sure how much good it'll do you, but okay, might as well try it.
