Back in 2016, it was reported that Saw producer Peter Block had signed on for the remake of the Stan Winston directed remake of Pumpkinhead, but things have been quiet since. Speaking recently to Rue Morgue, Block teases that film is coming soon.
“We have some exciting news that I’m not allowed to share yet, but that should be making its way out soon,” Block told the site.
“Pumpkinhead is a movie I just love… and while the original Pumpkinhead is a great movie, I think that there is more that can be done with that idea.” He Contonued, Sometimes I loathe remakes and reboots because I don’t see the reason for them, but Pumpkinhead is one of those where I believe that the story and the themes of it are so good, but there’s also a way of updating it where less focus on the creature in the beginning will add to a lot of the suspense.”
In the original, “after a tragic accident, a man conjures a towering, vengeful demon called “Pumpkinhead” to destroy a group of teens”
