R.L. Stine’s Pumpkinhead is set to debut on Tubi, according to a report in The Hollywood Reporter.
The film follows a teenager named Sam, whose family’s move to Redhaven is made worse when his brother Finn disappears — and no one else remembers that he existed. Sam joins his friends Becka and eccentric Rusty in the race to find Finn and break a harvest curse before Halloween ends.
Jem Garrard will direct the film which stars Bean Reid, Adeline Lo, Kevin McNulty, Bob Frazer, Matty Finochio and Seth Isaac Johnson.
“R.L. Stine’s Pumpkinhead is a playful blend of good fun, big scares with an element of adventure that taps into everything audiences love about Halloween and young-adult horror,” says Tubi chief content officer Adam Lewinson. “We’re thrilled to collaborate with the legendary ‘master of fear,’ R.L. Stine, as part of our growing slate of YA storytelling that bridges generations and delivers fresh, genre-driven entertainment.”
“There’s something rotten inside these pumpkins — and it isn’t pumpkin meat,” said R.L. Stine. “I’m so happy to see one of my most terrifying Halloween stories brought to chilling life in this new movie.”
The film will debut on October 17th. Stay tuned to Horror News Network for more on R.L. Stine’s Pumpkinhead.
