Chris & Kelsey finally find out why he\'s called Pumpkinhead when his head isn\'t shaped like a pumpkin!\\n\\nThe Classic Film: Pumpkinhead (1988)\\n"After a tragic accident, a man conjures up a towering, vengeful demon called Pumpkinhead to destroy a group of unsuspecting teenagers\\u201d (IMDb.com). Famed creature creator Stan Winston\'s directorial debut is the sort of film that most people outside the general horror fandom probably haven\'t even heard of, but it garners certain respect among the faithful and for good reason. We wouldn\'t say it\'s "stellar" but it\'s certainly charming and very enjoyable. Oh, and Pumpkinhead be throwin\' folks.\\n\\nThe Modern Film: A Quiet Place (2018)\\n"In a post-apocalyptic world, a family is forced to live in silence while hiding from monsters with ultra-sensitive hearing\\u201d (IMDb.com). A Quiet Place may be a motherlode for pedants, but to fall down that hole would be to miss the incredible performances and atmosphere that make the movie pretty dang good. Plus, it makes Chris cry.\\n\\nAudio Sources:\\n"The Exorcist in 30 Seconds (and Re-enacted by Bunnies)" produced by Angry Alien Productions, LLC\\n"Gin and Juice" written by Calvin Broadus and performed by Snoop Dogg \\n"London Calling" written by Joe Strummer & Mick Jones and performed by The Clash\\n"Pet Sematary" written by Dee Dee Ramone & Daniel Rey and performed by The Ramones\\n"Pumpkinhead" produced by De Laurentiis Entertainment Group & Lion Films\\n"A Quiet Place" produced by Paramount Pictures, et al.\\n"Redneck Rampage" (PC) developed by Xatrix and produced by Interplay Entertainment\\n"Rock-A-Doodle" produced by Goldcrest Films International & Sullivan Bluth Studios\\n"Thank You for Smoking" produced by Room 9 Entertainment\\n"Too Little Too Late" written by Billy Steinberg, et al., and performed by JoJo'
