First Pic Of The New Pumpkinhead

From Fangoria:
Above is the first exclusive pictures from PUMPKINHEAD: ASHES TO ASHES, currently shooting in Romania under the direction of Jake (EVIL ALIENS) West. The film is a direct sequel to the 1988 original, effectively sidelining 1994’s PUMPKINHEAD II: BLOOD WINGS, and sees the return to the franchise of Lance Henriksen as the ghost of his character from the first film, Ed Harley.

ASHES TO ASHES is shooting back to back with PUMPKINHEAD: LOVE HURTS (they were announced as PUMPKINHEAD 3 and 4, but it has now been decided to drop the numbers from the titles). This film retains Henriksen’s ghostly presence and has the same crew, including Tunnicliffe’s FX team and cinematographer Erik Alexander (BROKEN) Wilson, but is directed by Mike (ROOM 6) Hurst, helming his fourth horror feature in 12 months. LOVE HURTS is a more darkly comic tale than West’s film, with Pumpkinhead introduced into a plot modeled on ROMEO AND JULIET (!).

ASHES TO ASHES will be shown on the Sci Fi Channel in October, with LOVE HURTS following in 2007; limited theatrical releases are also being considered.
