That was pretty good! I wish it had been the period piece it should've been, OR that the stereotypes hadn't been so _incredibly_ rough. But otherwise!
So the old lady dragged Pumpkinhead back to his grave. Impressive. #monsterdon
Pumpkin head is inflammable in life but extremely flammable in death. Feels like they could do more there #Monsterdon
So ends another #Monsterdon with the classic, #Pumpkinhead. Our thanks to @Taweret for hosting, and for everyone lurking and posting. And remember #Monsterdoners: Grandpa will whip you good if he finds out.
I'm assuming there's like a million Pumpkinhead sequels that all suck. #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!
#monsterdon
Weirdly poetic death. Nice.
Say what you will about the old lady, but she keeps herself in good shape.
RIP Pumpkinhead, your efforts to kill literally all the characters in this film will not be forgotten.
#Monsterdon
Leaving only the fine scent of pumpkin spice. #monsterdon
Pumpkins, well known for burting into flames
#monsterdon
#monsterdon somebody grab the marshmallows.
@strangefour Or maybe build two funeral pyres?

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
#monsterdon
Bishop! NOOOOOOO
Love a great "kill me"
That's the problem with shooting yourself in the head. If you fail on the first shot, you're probably too injured to try again.
This would be an excellent time to have a pumpkin spice latte in my hands
Attention: We are now into the Laserblast portion of our movie
Roasted Pumpkin Seeds, mm. #monsterdon
Wait, so you're telling me P-Head knows about motorcycles? #Monsterdon
<air fills with the aroma of cinnamon and cardamom>
@MatthewTitus88 @flowerpot Ah the power of ad-blockers. #Monsterdon
What are the chances that everyone just fucks off to the pumpkin patch?
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)

Hi Howarya!

@eigen mmmmm roasted pumpkin for dinner #monsterdon #pumpkinhead
Flamethrower powered by 120-proof corn-mash hooch
#monsterdon
"I'm gonna turn pumpkinhead *cocks flamethrower* into a jack-o-lantern" #monsterdon
@flowerpot For me that translates to about 15 with commercials. #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon is this what forgiveness looks like?
He's fucked. Us getting fucked too isn't going to help him. Let's get out of here. #monsterdon
Well P-head managed to kill team road trip except one
This movie could have been called Pumpkinfeet and there'd be little difference #Monsterdon
You stay here and listen to this Philip Glass album
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
The joke is on Pumpkinhead. He's into being stepped on.
PUMPKINHEAD asserts DOMINANCE
normally you have to pay for that kind of service
.....and Zen
I hope they show this movie in motorcycle training classes
Pumpkinhead pre-emptively fucked up their vehicles. Clever demon.
Whattaya know. Pumpkinhead took shop. #Monsterdon #Pumpkinhead
"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
@cd0 yes this is exactly the kind of logic one should apply to a #Monsterdon movie π
(but srsly I am here for it π)
Pumpkinhead vs. Alien #monsterdon
okay, doesn't like jesus then, got it.
awww i was hoping he'd crucify someone
Pumpkinhead carving crosses in people's head does not bode well for the church strategy #Monsterdon
Punkinhead's like: "I've been trying to reach you about your extended warranty...."
It won't die until Bereft Dad dies.
I don't trust the hillbilly.
#monsterdon
Yeah, I kinda helped conjure up this thing. #Monsterdon
you know what, nevermind, if she can't figure out why its after them from that, she deserves a late night meet and greet with Pumpkinhead.
Unless this is the Church of the Pumpkinhead. #monsterdon
Confession time in the church~ #Monsterdon
#monsterdon
Let's talk behind these couple of sticks. We'll be safe.
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.
This chapel is in better shape than my bathroom.
When does the "hallowed" part of hallowed ground wear off? Asking for a friend.

Iβm sure this βsafe placeβ will total be safe #Monsterdon
Monster design is great but lacks pumpkin as a head #PumpkinHead1988 #monsterdon
@CactuarJoe They're hillbilies, not savages. :3 #monsterdon (those live a few hills over)
"well dang, someone left this perfectly good gun stuck in this dirty old corpse, ain't I lucky today?"
BONG Run for the border!
That's definitely not how you use a rifle, Pumpkinhead #Monsterdon
"Vengeance gods, in my Appalachian holler? It's more likely than you think!"
Actually the most shocking thing in this whole scene is that the kid has an actual functioning flashlight. #Monsterdon
Well ain't Bud just dumber than a bag of hammers. #Monsterdon #Pumpkinhead
lit candles in a bedroom while asleep
great plan team
lit fire going all night
no one involved in the production of this movie have ever used a fireplace for warmth
I expected to see the long claw grab him out the window.
#monsterdon
Chekhov's dirtbath kid, coming back for Act 3? #Monsterdon #Pumpkinhead
Spit: the foundation of all legal contracts
pumpkinhead, a rifle is Β·notΒ· a stabbing weapon, itβoh, huh, I guess you made it workβ¦
@TerryHancock huh what is a #monsterdon
Can't put on overalls without twisting up the strap - me too, kid
maybe the hillbillies should turn their lights out, so the doomed folks don't come to their door.
Blue on the outside.
Red on the inside.
I bet the monster went to a build-a-bayonet workshop

Very nice acting by whomever is portraying this wolf!
@Newpa_Hasai Well they didn't have dirt bikes in the 30s!
"Do I look as cool as I feel?"
#monsterdon
Little talked about gun violence (being impaled by a gun)
#monsterdon
Ok, I'm counting rifle impalement as an β improvised weapon. #Monsterdon

Pumpkinhead is BACK from the dead and he's got the gun.

Pumkinhead's got a gun
Whole world's come undone ...
