A movie I first learned about while researching Alien Resurrection and reading Joss Whedon say "I never wrote anything in the script about them fighting a big Pumpkinhead looking monster." - Pumpkinhead is the directorial debut of Stan Winston, and indeed the Newborn Xenomorph bears a striking resemblance to the titular monster, Pumpkinhead. With the tail and the curve of Pumpkinhead's chin, it could be surmised it's design was partially inspired by the Xeno, but that's neither here nor there. It's a movie about teens dying! AMAZING!

when pumpkin head did approach the church he moved in slow an totally hesitated stuff like that i enjoy because it lets me know he has a personality he was unsure if he himself should enter the church i liked that it adds good writing .
Joel hoffman is my teacher
@@Visitormassacre the sequels where atrocious unfortunately but i really like the original probably top 10 horror for me, top 20 for sure
I just noticed that myself for some reason, as many times as I have seen this movie, lol.
Keep away from Pumpkinhead, unless youre tired of living... His enemies are mostly dead, hes mean and unforgiving,
Bolted doors and windows barred... Guard dogs prowling in the yard...Wont protect you in your bed... Nothing will
...from Pumpkinhead!
You missed the part in the middle. Poem written by Ed Justin.
Ed. Born as the kin of a family of pump action shotguns.
Pump-kin Ed
Those cheeky..
Man, I really love the locust sound effect when Pumpkinhead is lurking about. Really adds so much to the character. The sound of hellish, humid, hot southern days.
*cicada
@@thenegativoneify Yeah, oddly enough locusts sound even more demonic, or alien. First time I heard it I was, or damn near was grown- assumed it was an animal but just about couldn't believe an animal could make a weird electronic sound like that.
Also that locust or cicada sound effect was also in beetlejuice
The best bit of trivia about this movie - Lance Henriksen went full method, even getting fake teeth and buying a bunch of the props in his shop and house out-of-pocket to help characterize Ed better.
And the best line - "God damn you... God *damn* you!" "He already has, son. He already has."
I loved that line!
Dude. Even ISIS torturers wouldnt make people read buzzfeed.
+Iris Juttula Even ISIS isn't that cruel...or are they?
CountessChuchoteur - No, they're far worse...they make their victims watch MTV!
wait...you mean people who torture people from ISIS, or torturers who work for ISIS
@@ajpod770 no... Worse... TMZ!
I think I remember an interview with Stan Winston and it was mentioned that part of the mythos for the creature was that the summoner could not commit suicide, that either someone had to kill the summoner or Pumpkinhead would kill the summoner after all of the marked were dead ending the Pumpkinhead killing spree.
Is it just me or is pumpkin head very xenomorph like?
the guys did the special effects for Aliens too
Actually the reason that Pumpkinhead looks a bit similar to a Xenomorph is because Stan Winston the director of Pumpkinhead actually did most of the make up and practical effects for the popular 1986 film Aliens.
he also in the terminator
I think I saw a review where it was mentioned that pumpkinhead was a reskinned xenomorph suit
...and it sounds like The Thing.
Pumpkinhead traumatized me as a kid. He still is the scariest monster to me to this day.
you recently watched the movie six years ago when you posted this. stop lying.
The joke about wiping the window with the girl's face made me belly laugh. Because I am an idiot and stupid awful jokes do that to me. Well done Shado.
That one got me LOL as well
This is the kind of movie that deserves a good remake with practical effects for Pumpkinhead.
Could even bring back Lance Henrikson for it and everything.
they would fuck it up with CGI
Nagato Sora
Hence why I'd hope it would fall into the hands of someone who would use practical effects.
@Kyros Droztamyr yes! That'd be great!
NO. Leave this classic alone
PAKMan 004 I mean it is your opinion but he can have his own
The Tales from the Crypt movie "Demon Knight" had Billy Zane summoning demonic monsters that looked like Pumpkinhead and there was a rather big bunch of them walking around trying to kill the protagonists and they all looked good.
Still to this day my favorite t.f.t.c episodes ever
Deker is really not letting that whole "we had a woodchipper but didnt use it at all" thing go. i cant blame the man
Always nice to see a fellow ace pilot.
Oh God, dude, proceed with caution with the Pumpkinhead sequels. They are fucking awful.
I've not seen this series but as I recall it almost broke the Spoony One.
the second isn't too awful
It was the Pumpkinhead FMV Game that sent him off the deep end. Haha
Blake Meads True, true. But he watched the movies too.
Blake Meads I agree they should have left it as a stand alone movie, no sequels or video games for it
This was the first horror movie I watched all the way through. Cried when Billy died, and honestly didn't feel very bad for some of the teens. I love the Pumpkinhead series, even if they get a bit cheesy from time to time.
Maybe you should review the _Wrong Turn_ franchise sometime, Decker! There's only 5 sequels (as of 2016), so compared to the summers of "Hellraiser" and "Freddy vs. Jason", that'll be a cake walk!
I love Pumpkinhead! The sequels were OK, some parts. haha
SegaCDUniverse agree
Someome needs to redub the first movie with these lines.
Pumpkinhead was never a horror movie for me considering he is dealing out judgment on those who deserve it. So he is actually the good guy
@@timothyclark1754 I'd say he's chaotic neutral, leaning over to evil.
@@timothyclark1754 I see your point and agree with you, except Pumpkinhead did rather seem to enjoy the torture and killing, but, nothing wrong with a guy taking pride in his work LOL
18:58 that part was scary for when i was a kid.....well this full movie was terrifying
...when i was a kid
"Dick Warlock"
Dear god,
Whoever named that man was high af.
His father obviously!🤦♂️😂
Uh Decker 2 things 1.) thanks for reviewing one of my fav monster movies
2.) I'm not sure if you've already reviewed it but if you want to see a woodchipper death watch Tucker and Dale VS Evil (its a really good horror comedy)
Very cool. I watched this frequently when I was a kid. I was unaware there were sequels though, so I'm looking forward to the rest of your uploads this month.
Anyone noticed the sound effect of Pumpkinhead is the same one as the Dog-thing from The Thing?
Buraz93 I was thinking that as well when I was watching this movie yesterday on El Rey Network.
I don't know what it is, but it's weird and pissed off
@@theponydalek7923 cicada my fam. song of summers and summonings
@@StoicVeR and in the south. I don't think they have them up north, right? Cicadas I mean? I love it and tree frogs. Hearing those while sitting on the porch watching lighting bugs...ahhh nostalgia.
@@Irish_Georgia_Girl cicadas live in the ground pupating for years, so maybe the harsher weather prevents them from vibing when its time to come out and sing the day away
I like how Pumphinhead looks like a xenomorph and theres Lance Henriksen in the movie.
And it was directed by *Aliens'* VFX supervisor.
They used an old xenomorph costume, and repurposed it adding a few touches.
The idea Bishop accidentally summoned a xenomorph is kinda ironic
@@Lava91point0 no they didn't
@@shaynasullivan5832 Uhh, they did
The house was also used as the Jarvis house in Friday the 13th part 4 the final chapter.
The creature design is what sold me as a child. I have a real soft spot for this film.
Just rewatched it tonight, and damn was it a great one. Even the kid that played Billy did a good job, especially with that death scene. Seriously, seeing him quietly go limp like that was *horrifying.*
Ed: "God damn you... God DAMN you!"
Haggis: "He already has, son. He already has."
Dick Warlock played Michael in Halloween II
Now I'm gonna have to review it just so I can say Dick Warlock again.
lol
He also starred in Adult films under the stage name of Richard Wizard.
so Dick Wizard
Warlock,IT,Terror Train and The Exorcist plz decker
I am not sure if the consecrated ground thing was shout down. The church they used was burned down, which by definition, would make the ground unhallowed. It's probably why the writers had the demon approach the church so slowly and even go so for as to test the cross before going on the attack. Like you said, the editing always made this movie hard to watch but the story telling was top notch.
I'd wondered about that too.... if he'd come upon a church still active if he'd have not went in it. Since the kids ran out the other side of the door I'm surprised Pumpkinhead didn't just go back out and go around the church LoL
Why is the vengeance demon attacking people who tried to help? Only one (or maybe two) of them are responsible.
13:35
Pumpkinhead: Ayo scrubs Mr. steal yo girl here.
Decker I love your pumpkin head impersonation
It's dead.
Pumpkin Head: PSYYYYYYYYYYCH!
Lance Hendrickson was amazing in this movie and other movies as well. Great review Decker
Wow. All these special effects guys and costumers really like doing Horror related projects.
I'm dying at 10:17
The fear of going to prison for DUI manslaughter does actually make for a realistic character motivation to prevent a call for help (a la Ted Kennedy at Chappaquiddick). That’s a bit more thoughtful than most horror movies are.
It never occurred to me, probably because of the terrible video shooting, that Pumpkinhead's face... was Ed's. It took on the face of its summoner and that in the end, Ed became the next Pumpinhead host. That's actually a pretty cool concept to work with. This needs a remake!... with a better guy behind the camera!
"Pumpkinhead" is a masterpiece and a work of genius. Not simply one of the greatest horror films of the 80s, but one of the greatest horror films ever made.
I agree
HOLY S***! Pumpkin head is an older + on steroids version of Sam from Trick R treat!
let this be a lesson kiddies: don't fuck with Lance hendrickson.
Jesus Christ every episode is AWESOME! Great job Decker!!!
I always wondered if Pumpkinhead can only get to you if you are in the area? Say you took off and are clear out into the nearest metro area or flew clear across the world, let alone the other side of the country? I'd love to hear ideas on this topic.
Considering that Pumpkinhead is a demonic hellspawn of vengeance, it's safe to say that distance means nothing to it. You could find your way up into outer space and it would still follow you, like a demonic Xenomorph.
+spiderboy43 I wanna see pumpkin head build a tower to space now
He can get you no matter where you are.... Oooh look out!
Amani Bob You also have to remember that this was in the 1980's. No cell phones, and mountain folk like them don't have phones. It may seem ridiculous to some, but bring from the south myself and bring related to actual Hill people who still don't have cell phones/land lines or running water and electricity, this could actually be a plausible scenario, you know, if a mountain witch summoned a revenge seeking demon 😂
Mary Burdette My point is: Picking a frickin leader got three killed, then following a random kid to into a ruined church was kinda suicidal... If knowing that, ( if alone), the monster: "?" cannot kill two person at once, then, two going on oposite direction is a good idea to try. After that sh*t failed, ('cause teleportation skill in horror movies), then following that up with the idea of choosing the same direction, but going on, ( at least), three DIFFERENT lines/path to stay as small/hard/difficult a target no matter what. This a perfect example of "survival by odds or multiple choices of movement". If one of you is able to go on, you CAN WIN as long as you are not the one being stopped, but "?" is not winning until and ONLY until none of your group is remaining. If "?" is being stopped, then "?" is either looking, going after or killing a "friend", so that's too bad, but get it? One dead, others plus you still lives. Better than you doing: "nothing" and "fu*k all"..." Pragmatism son! If you're on your own, but all going on a same direction, then all but one are on a"not dead" path, so better run while able. Being killed is sure for at best two friends, at worst all of y'all, (since it must happen twice before you can detect a pattern), but with up to a "five-to-six" ratio, you can be anything from first cadaver, the final kill, or if you've done the smart thing to each go your separate way towards a same goal, thus doubling the odds each time, you can make it. It's not a "friend do matter" and "loves will conquer all" strategy, but it's a "win if winning is a possibility" kind of strategy. It has been proven to work for sending supplies/men over deadly lines or lethal situations, like crossing an occupied city, or roads with random IEDs "..." Simple: Get the enemy to pick a number of routes, then use multiples of that number simultaneously, so that with one loss, you've got two+ wins behind, just before, or alongside.INSTEAD, going about it one at a time is a coin toss every time, with50/50 odds, going on the principle that some sh*t will go down at each time or not... Like playing Russian Roulette, sixty times.
Ps: If a horror movie was done right, then most protagonists would get a hint, like a house on fire, or a giant mo-fo from hell and then, they'd each go home, or a pick a direction to run away, instead of the bad guy killing them at most in a two/three miles radius no problems. So that way, the bad guy is a killing machine 'till, at the end, it's nerfed to the point of stumbling over his/it's own frickin feet before being "ze killed"..." Then, bring on the sequels...
The first pumpkinhead was excellent!
Am I the only that thinks pumpkinhead looks a bit like a xenomorph?
I just adore this movie, remembering buying Fangoria to get the updates about the movie and was not disappointed when it was released. Even re-watching it is a thrill. And Lance Henriksen, ohhhhh, he is one of my favourites.
Dick warlock is a name I would believe if South Park used it as a name for one of the internet troll
It sounds like a goth porn star
Robbie Rotten ok so the name sounded really familiar to me so I looked it up. That’s Michael Myers!
I am a HUGE fan of Pumpkinhead! After watching it I ran across this video, and it was my first time here, and I gotta say I never would have thought anyone could make the movie humorous... but you made me laugh pretty hard with your comments! Good job! I think I'll subscribe!
Haggis: "I can't bring the dead back to life, Ed Harley. But for your convenience I have this lovely demon called Vengeance, that I can give you at the discounted rate of your soul".
Ed: "do you offer a lay-away plan? "
"Hi..! ergh get outta the way get outta the way, im takin this... .bye...! " LOL that always makes me laugh idk w hy
I love these reviews. You're a funny guy Decker
Good ‘ol Pumpkin Head. I loved that movie when I first saw it.
I always like Pumpkinhead as a monster its a monster that is obviously inhuman but has all the cruelty a person can muster.
man you are really desperate to see a wood chipper death... would the scene from fargo do it for you? XD
Holy shit, is that Bishop?
Yup, that's Bishop all right, played by the ever-awesome Lance Henrickson. ;)
bishop aliens alien 3 alien vs predator and the Terminator the 1st one
Tupac???
I heard that pumpkinhead is either getting a reboot or a remake
Fun fact: Dick Warlock played Michael Myers in Halloween II!
Dick Warlock was Michal Myers in one of the Halloween films but I can’t remember what one
Corpse Halloween 2
I'm so glad there's finally a good review of Pumpkinhead on UA-cam i have been hoping that Decker would do this review for quite some time and im so happy he finally did.
The first real painting I ever did was during Halloween, a portrait of Pumpkinhead.
I actually grew up with this one.... it’s got a great atmosphere and is a classic imo.
I LOVE Pumpkinhead!!! You're awesome, Deck!
...internal hemorrhaging, yeah, I think considering the sticks they're in kind of gives the inference that medical and hospital care would have been a very long drive. Ed's son would have been dead before even reaching help.
Going home might have been a touch kinder.
The choppy editing might be because the movie emphasizes disconnected feeling of shock and horror.
Thanks for responding in the previous video, i like that you try to work with your communiti.
Pumkinhead is actually one of my most favorite horror movies. The creature effects stand up to today's practical effects since Stan Winston made them. The facial impressions of Pumkinhead were very impressive! You know how Lance Hendrikson's character became more demon-like but did you also notice when that happened, actually, right after she used the Flamethrower, Pumpkinhead's face became more human-like! God, if Stan Winston was alive today, imagine what he could do with Pumkinhead now with 3D Printing and all the new tech we have. I'm talking practical effects. CG effects could look good, but honestly, I'm so in love with Pumkinhead!
I was born in 88, the year of spooky movies
As someone who is a young dad, I can totally relate with Lance's character.
Hey decker shado you should 110% review the 1998 movie "Deep Sea Rising"! Without ruining the movie to much, it's basically about a sea monster that attacks a cruise ship. Its actually a pretty decent movie and it seems like it would be right up your alley!
dog soldiers would also be a good choice :)
This is actually one of my favourite films
As much fun as the Summer of Freddy vs. Jason was, I much prefer the surprise of not knowing what film Decker will do next- and Pumpkinhead was an excellent choice. Easily the best monster created since the Universal Monsters of old.
Lance is so fantastic in this.
2:35 That dog Mushroom also starred in COLD DOG SOUP from 1989,
a vehicle for Frank Whaley, and Christine Harnos, whom played Rimmer, in Hellraiser 4 !
The Pumpkin-Head monster looks more like an extraterestrial creature and not a demon from hell.
Kind of reminds me of those demons from Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger, with effects by Ray Harryhausen. The demons conjured up looked more like bug-eyed aliens than demons
Maybe because they're similar to the Alien in the Alien movie. Stan Winston from Pumpkinhead was involved in designing the Alien. He wasn't involved with designing Pumpkinhead's suit, but he had people that had worked with him previously design it.
Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger: OMG I used to love that movie, but haven't seen it since like 4th grade!
It may be bad, but the story is actually really interesting. That and it holds a special place in my heart because it scared the holy shit out of me when I was a little girl. Anytime I watch it now I get the nostalgic shivers when I see Pumpkinhead in the frame of the church doorway.
You write an immortals name on a piece of a Death Note and it burst into flames, in the Notebook itself you'll loose the whole damn book.
One of my favourite movies of all time, thanks for this review :D I have been waiting for this.
DECKER PLEASE READ: I gotta let you know I had the shitiest day so far of my senior year of high school...just everything went south ...I come home...I see a notification under "Decker Shado" I click and BOOM "Pumpkinhead Review".....My day just get 12 times better and bad ass...Thank you Decker stay awesome!
18:23 for a bloodthirsty death demon, it's got better reflexes then me
I love watching Tales from the Crypt Demon Night every Holloween
The fact that once the monster gets summoned they actually SHOW THE MONSTER FOR THE REST OF THE MOVIE
Joel Hoffman teaches at my high school I went to :) lol
Decker in Fargo someone dies by the wood chipper.
Thanks for another great video Decker, it might be hard after the Freddy vs Jason month but keep I hope you keep happy, healthy and sane. :)
"10 reviews on 31 days? Not a good idea"
James: Does it in a month and a week
🤔
Seeing how the only way to kill pumpkin head is to kill the person who summoned him. Pumpkin head would make a good rival to Jeepers Creepers.
The witch is named after the insides of a sheeps stomach
Is the angry father look like bishop to you? I mean stably so many alien conections
This just shows how far us parents will go for our kids a parents love knows no bounds
Hey, are you gonna do the Warlock movies?
That would be awesome seeing Decker review the Warlock movies. I've always seen Warlock: the Armageddon as kind of a reboot rather than a sequel. Kind of like Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance where it has the same actor playing the lead role despite the movie making no connections to what happened in the first movie.
Hey Decker, a burned down church loses consecration.
pumpkinhead always a 10/10 for me. I thank my mom for showing me all these old horror movies when I was a kid in the 90s
Decker, you look more like a teenager than any of these actors do. Just putting it out there.
"Hi get outa the way. Im taking this , Bye." LOLS I love your impressions,
I like how they named the witch after a stereotypical Scottish food
The cabin in this movie where joel was holding them at gun point was also the cabin in friday the 13th in part 4
Fun Fact: Dick Warlock was in some of the shot when the Shark attacks the cage in Jaws
Say Decker, who do you think would win in a fight? Pumpkinhead or the Creeper from Jeepers Creepers? It'd make for an interesting vs movie.
I didn't have trouble following this at 12 years old
Decker, I really like Pumpkinhead, Jeepers Creepers, Anaconda, Sharktopus, John Carpenter's Vampires, Fright Night, Zombieland, The Evil Dead Trilogy and a cult classic Forbidden World.
Along with Virus, Session 9, Flash Gordon, Barbarella, The Exorcist III, Ouija Origin of Evil and even Scott Pilgrim vs the World.
645 hey rekha shadow what do you think about at white girl come out in pumpkin head II as a bad thing profile report and her 6 pack beer drunkning bad boy friend he arm with a gun in
I doubt that church still counted as consecrated ground if it burned down and nobody goes to pray there anymore.
"It's a holy place," says Bunt. Well, it does have a lot of holes in it.
um decker.....you are AWESOME btw....but one question.... what is the secret to your awesome hair?
