PUMPKINHEAD (1988) | Cinema Shock Roulette #3

2022-09-27

It's time for another installment of Cinema Shock Roulette! For this recurring feature, we randomly select a film from our Cinema Shock Roulette Letterboxd list. For this Roulette episode, we're discussing Stan Winston's 1988 directorial debut PUMPKINHEAD, just in time for spooky season! We've discussed Winston a lot on the show so far (in both our Dan O'Bannon series, and most extensively during our James Cameron series), but in this episode, we really get to dig into his history, what brought him to Hollywood, and how he got involved in directing PUMPKINHEAD.
