Happy Friday the 13th! Couldn't have asked for a more beautiful Autumn Friday the 13th in the Pacific Northwest today. It was a crisp stunner.
I have a movie night with the ladies later - PJs, pizza, laughter and some Hocus Pocus! Since I've already reviewed that movie, I thought I'd write about another treasured film instead.
Pumpkinhead!!!
Hands down, one of my all time favorite films. Tops the top 10. It's the type of film that confronts a lot of complicated emotions that will leave you (likely) pretty sad and exhausted. AND YET - this is one really, really, really scary monster.
Right from the start you're absorbed in a loving father and son relationship that is threatened by unforeseen circumstances - and that connection (father to son, audience to father, audience to son) will stick with you for, oh, I don't know, forever.
A unique horror story that has a mountain mist feeling that it crawled out of the binding glue of the Foxfire books, I find this a simply remarkable film that manages to balance morality, love, hate, heritage, and nightmares all into one jaw-dropping picture.
Pairs with a dark and stormy night alone. Items picked up from your local general store. Gather the blankets, curl up as safe as you can and prepare for a new favorite horror story (if it wasn't already).
Oh, and just remember folks, if you're seeking revenge - dig two graves.
I watched this film on Amazon Prime or use the Find It! Watch It! links on Horror Habit's side bar to locate where else you can find this super freaky feature.
