Free streaming service Tubi has announced it is getting into the spirit of Halloween with the original movie R.L. Stine’s Pumpkinhead, now exclusively available for the first time on the platform in the UK. Inspired by R.L. Stine’s beloved The Haunting Hour, the movie blends just the right mix of chills and thrills, delivering a frightfully fun experience.
Sam thought moving to Redhaven was the worst part—until his brother Finn vanishes and no one, not even their mom, remembers he existed. With Halloween ticking down, Sam, his friend Becka, and Rusty, the town’s most eccentric outcast, must stop a harvest curse before Finn is lost forever.
