Don't think this should've been labeled a sequel Pumpkinhead 2 is not an awful movie plus it does provide some decent thrills and chills. That being said, i don't think it was a great idea to label this as a sequel to the first Pumpkinhead. Other than the general appearance of the creature, reinventing the mythology is confusing for those of us that liked the first movie. Perhaps they should have called it "Pumpkinhead: Resurrection," and explained that Pumpkinhead creatures came from certain circumstances that are now repeating for the second time. Oh well. The movie is in the can and you have to either take it, warts and all, or pass it by. It's worth at least one watch if you are a die-hard horror movie fan.
