A thoroughly unlikable sequel.
(Credit to Parca Mortem on IMDb) After a group of teenagers indirectly cause an old witch to be burned, they accidentally revive Pumpkinhead. This time Pumpkinhead is inhabited by the soul of a deformed orphan killed 30 years before. He goes on a bloody rampage after his tormentors and the teenagers. Meanwhile, a local sheriff tries to solve the mystery and stop the murders.I know Pumpkinhead has a lot of fans, but I'm not one of them. I wasn't looking forward to this sequel. With how awful this sequel is, I'll watch the original over this one any day of the week. Not only is it very stupid, but rather dull as well. There were too many random killings as well. We get severed limbs, blood splashes, and more. The monster is really rubbery looking. He wasn't very threatening at all. Amazingly enough, we get a great horror cast. The performances are OK, but almost everyone is unlikable. Ami Dolenz is cute and makes a decent female lead. J. Trevor Edmond annoyed me. It's always fun to see Andrew Robinson in a role, but I disliked his character. I can't forget about the gorgeous, Soleil Moon Frye either.
If you're gonna watch any of the Pumpkinhead movies, stick with the original. This is followed by two crappy straight to video sequels.
