RL Stine’s Pumpkinhead review – horror from Goosebumps writer has kid confined inside large fruit
1 Views · 24d ago
Ever hunted for a kid-friendly spooky flick with just the right weirdness? Check out this RL Stine adaptation—from the Goosebumps guy—based on his 1999 short story, blending vibes of *The Wicker Man*, King, and Burton. When a NYC family moves to eerily fertile Redhaven, teen Sam swipes a prize pumpkin, trapping his brother Finn inside via magic; adults even forget Finn exists. Sam teams up with new pal Becka to hunt an ancient grimoire before Halloween midnight. Scares are mild (no gore), kid actors solid, though the pumpkin-obsessed farmer feels bland. The final psychological twist is genuinely unsettling, making up for the slow start. Seen it? Got a go-to kid-friendly spooky pick? Drop it below!
