3. Pumpkinhead (1988)

Show Notes

In this week's SCAAARRRY Halloween episode, the fellas give their souls over to the directorial debut of legendary special-effects man Stan Winston: the hillbilly-horror-revenge-monster-classic PUMPKINHEAD, starring almost-the-Terminator Lance Henriksen. This leads to discussions of baroque kills, arithmetic, 80s jerks, the morally corrosive impulse toward revenge, Jason's glasses, acting school, actor headshots, showbiz-dog agents, and the convention circuit. All that plus poetry!
