Hold on to your pumpkins. ‘Pumpkinhead’ is getting the limited edition steelbook treatment from Shout Factory October 20, 2020.
The 1988 debut of ‘Pumpkinhead’ came at a time when the era of slasher films was coming to a close, which is probably why it doesn’t have as big of a core horror following as other big horror villains of the time like Friday the 13th, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Hellraiser or Psycho. Despite the poor boxoffice permance, the demon horror film was featured in Fangoria’s “101 Best Horror Movies You’ve Never Seen.”
The film made its home video debut on VHS in 1989; it was released on DVD for the first time in 2000; and the blu ray release came in 2014. The Limited Edition Steelbook release will include several exciting features:
- NEW 4K Scan From The Interpositive Film Element
