Another horror movie franchise reboot is being developed. Peter Block, an executive producer on the original Saw and all of its sequels, has acquired the rights to the Pumpkinhead series and has revealed plans for a reboot.
The original Pumpkinhead told the story of a man (played by Aliens star Lance Henriksen) whose son is taken from him in a hit and run accident. Wanting those responsible to pay for what they’ve done, he seeks out a local witch, who helps him to summon a demon to hunt down the ones involved in his son’s death. The 1988 movie was the directorial debut of the late, great make-up and special effects legend Stan Winston. The only other feature the four-time Oscar winner (Aliens, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Jurassic Park) would direct was A Gnome Named Gnorm two years later.
