Pumpkinhead IV

[Guest betweenthelines]

Lance Henriksen makes a return to the movie franchise as a ghost. The director, Mike Hurst, comments more about him and the movie:

You’re also presently directing the fourth installment of the Pumpkinhead franchise. What direction are you taking with the film? Will you keep the original’s tone or go for something new?

Right now I’m halfway through shooting Pumpkinhead 4: Love Hurts, from a script I wrote. It’s like Romeo and Juliet, set in the midst of a feud between two familes in the American South. Basically our “Romeo” decides to call on Pumpkinhead to avenge the death of his sister and wipe out all of his lover’s family so they can be together. It’s a dark horror movie, with a lot of blood and a lot of action. Almost like a Western, except there’s a big killer demon in it.

It should be a lot of fun. Lance Henriksen is reprising his role as the ghost of Ed Harley and he has been just great to work with. A great actor and a great guy. The chance to work with him was a major reason I took on the project and was able to write the script so fast. I actually have to go on set in, er, 3 hours time, for another all-nighter in the Romanian woods. (I have to stop writing EXT. WOODS/ NIGHT at the top of script pages. I MUST start writing EXT. BEACH / DAY, if only for my health!)

Woah, what did I miss... I hadn't even heard of a third installment, let alone a fourth. But if Lance is in it, bring it on!

My sister and I loved the Pumpkinhead movie, even if it scared the crap out of her. Thanks for the info!

alot of you may not know but i caught wind of Pumpkin Head 3 sometime ago and broke the news to IMDB. Not sure if they gave me credit or not for it. Its great to see Lance involved with the third fourth installment.

If i remember right both movies will air on Sci-Fi

According to Lance Henriksen Magic, he signed up to do both movies so I think he will!

Yes, that was a great movie. I think I saw it on cable about 20 years ago, but finally rented it very recently, and I really enjoyed it. By the way, my compliments on your Avatar. I think we can safely say that it is one of the neatest we have seen, given the fact that it is such a great picture and that we know that it was actually taken by one of our very own members here. That picture in particular, with the way it is framed, the angle, etc., looks like it was taken by a professional photographer.
