Biography

Pumpkinhead

It was was summoned to take revenge on a man named Clayton Heller (and possibly others) for the death of a girl. The demon was apparently summoned by 'them' to kill Clayton, despite him insisting that he didn't murder the girl. The unseen demon chased after Clayton through town and he arrives at the Harley's farm when Ed was a boy. He frantically knocks on the door and begs to be let in, but is denied by Tom Harley while Ellie consoles Ed. Despite threatening him with a rifle, Clayton insists on being let in, even going as far as saying "What kind of Christian are you!?". Pumpkinhead catches up to Clayton and kills him while Ed watches through a window. Many years later, Ed now has a son named Billy and a deceased wife named Betty Lynn, who died in 1978. After Billy is accidentally killed by one of a group of camping teenagers named Joel on a motorcycle, Ed realizes that there is no hope for his dead boy and visits the witch of the woods Haggis that evening in hopes that she can bring him back to life. However, when Haggis reveals that he cannot bring back the dead, Ed digs up Pumpkinhead's dead disfigured corpse from the pumpkin patch graveyard and brings it back to Haggis' cabin where she cuts Ed and Billy's hands and pours the blood over the creature's corpse. Pumpkinhead begins to move and come to life. Pumpkinhead becomes larger and more monster-like as Ed faints. Later that night, Pumpkinhead sets out to kill the teenagers and watches Maggie and Steve as Steve tries to convince her to have faith. Pumpkinhead then grabs Steve from behind and kills him right before dropping him from a tree as Maggie watches in horror. As the rest of the teenagers search for Steve, the creature grabs Maggie, drags her away, and kills her. While the teenagers are back in the cabin, Pumpkinhead slams Maggie's head against the window above the sink and slams it through the window right after rubbing it against the window. Pumpkinhead then enters the cabin where Joel confronts it with a knife. However, Pumpkinhead swats him aside and drags Kim off outside where it kills her and drops her from a tree
