Los Angeles, CA – Cruel, devious and pure as venom, MGM Home Entertainment presents a terrifying tale from the mind of legendary Academy Award winning special effects artist Stan Winston (Iron Man, Aliens) when PUMPKINHEAD Collector´s Edition arrives on DVD September 9 for a 20th anniversary celebration.

The late Stan Winston´s directorial debut stars Lance Henriksen (Aliens, "Millennium") as Ed Harley, a storekeeper raising his young son in rural Nevada. When a group of inner-city bikers arrive in the small town on vacation, a tragic accident occurs leaving Harley´s child dead. Driven by a childhood demonic vision, he seeks the aid of a reclusive witch who conjures that same demon, Pumpkinhead, to kill those responsible for his son´s death. One by one Harley watches as the creature kills the wrongdoers and he quickly discovers that a horrific price must be paid.

The Pumpkinhead Collector´s Edition DVD is loaded with all-new special features including commentary by co-screenwriter Gary Gerani and FX creators Tom Woodruff and Alec Gillis (Aliens vs. Predator-Requiem) and moderated by filmmaker Scott Spiegel (From Dusk Till Dawn 2: Texas Blood Money), seven making-of featurettes, behind-the-scenes footage, a still gallery and more. Available for a suggested retail price of $19.98. ($21.98 in Canada).

Film Synopsis:
Carve into the core of one of the most "vivid, stylish, atmospheric" (The Hollywood Reporter) thrillers of all time! With commentary by co-screenwriter Gary Gerani and FX creators Tom Woodruff and Alec Gillis, and a pulpy behind-the-scenes featurette, you´ll learn how some of the diabolical effects were created, and you´ll even get inside the mind of the creators of this freakishly frightening film!

When a group of rambunctious teenagers inadvertently kill his only son, Ed Harley (Lance Henriksen) seeks the magic of a backwoods witch to bring the child back. But instead, she invokes "the pumpkinhead" -- a monstrously clawed and fanged demon which, once reborn, answers only to Ed's bloodlust. But as the invincible creature wreaks its slow, unspeakable tortures on the teens, Ed confronts a horrifying secret about his connection to the beast -- and realizes that he must find a way to stop its deadly mission before he becomes one with it forever!
