Horror Icons Unite for the Sequel
Jem Garrard once again takes on writing and directing duties, helming the continuation after the success of the original 2025 release. The new narrative follows returning protagonists Sam and Becka as they race against time to stop the curse from reawakening. The franchise also began as an adaptation of a beloved episode from Stine’s popular television series The Haunting Hour.
Expanding the Haunting Lore of Redhaven
The original film follows Evan, a student fighting off ruthless bullies while searching for his missing brother, Finn. After accidentally unleashing a forbidden spellbook, Evan inadvertently awakened demonic, pumpkin-headed children under a deadly harvest curse. Building on that dark twist ending, the sequel escalates the supernatural stakes right during the town’s annual Harvest Festival. As a result, the franchise remains a perfect gateway to nostalgic Halloween thrills for younger viewers raised on classic spooky storytelling. R.L. Stine’s Pumpkinhead 2 premieres on Tubi today, October 9, 2026.
