R.L. Stine‘s Pumpkinhead is carving out plans to become a bonafide Halloween franchise.
Following the Tubi Original feature’s success when it debuted last year, the free streaming service has greenlit a sequel to the film that was inspired by best-selling novelist Stine’s The Haunting Hour. R.L. Stine’s Pumpkinhead 2 will premiere in October as part of the platform’s monthlong “Terror on Tubi” programming.
The sequel centers on Evan, a student dealing with bullies who finds a forbidden spellbook that revives the ancient curse for his town of Redhaven. This leads the pumpkin-headed children of previous sacrifices to emerge from the earth in hopes of claiming the town during its Harvest Festival. Perhaps the only hope for Redhaven is the return of a witch who is dead set on destroying the book.
