History YMMV / Pumpkinhead

* {{Tearjerker}}: Harley's last moments with his son are ''agonizing'' to watch.

* TheWoobie: Ed Harley.

** Joel is one of the only of the kids who can be adequately described as a JerkassVictim. After all causing an accident is one thing but deliberately abandoning the victim ''a little boy'' to save your skin and sabotage your friends attempts to help and even strike one of the them is another.

* WhatAnIdiot : Joel in the first movie. One would think that someone on parole for drunk driving would want to keep alcohol and motorized vehicles as far away from each other as possible, but he's seen being intoxicated while driving his car and then even more intoxicated when he wants to drive his ATV, which results in him injuring a child. And then he decides to prevent any of his "[[Main/WithFriendsLikeThese friends]]" from calling for medical aide by any means necessary, because apparently drunkenly hitting a child [[Main/SarcasmMode is far worse]] than hit-and-run, vehicular manslaughter, kidnapping, torture, physical assault, destruction of private property (the cabin where he cut the phone lines was a rental), AND disobeying parole. Yes, there's TruthInTelevision , but even when it happens in real life, the people who do so are idiots.

* MoralEventHorizon: Haggis usually warns the would-be avengers that they're about to cross it. [[spoiler: And she knows that she has crossed it long ago, as when Harley says Goddamn you her answer is a cynical smile and the retort ''He already has''.]]

* {{Sequelitis}}: The second film, ''Blood Wings'', ignored the first and was terrible. The next two sequels, however, were subversions.

* DisproportionateRetribution: While many, if not all, of Pumpkinhead's victims deserve to be punished, Pumpkinhead takes it ''way'' too far.

* CrowningMomentOfFunny: The infamous ending to "Blood Wings: Pumpkinhead's Revenge": [[spoiler: Dancing Pumpkinhead]]

* TheProblemWithLicensedGames: See WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment

* CrowningMomentOfFunny: The infamous ending to "Blood Wings: Pumpkinhead's Revenge": [[spoiler Dancing Pumpkinhead]]

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: [[http://youtu.be/iaf9C4lPgAw "Just Like You"]] from Pumpkinhead II: Blood Wings, performed by Roger Clinton, who plays Mayor Bubba.

* CompleteMonster: [[GangOfBullies The Red Wings]] from ''Blood Wings'', who torture and murder Tommy just for being ugly.

* {{Sequelitis}}: The second film, ''Blood Wings'', ignored the first and was terrible. The next two sequels, however, were subversions, but YourMileageMayVary.

* TheProblemWithLicensedGames: See TheSpoonyExperiment

* IdiotPlot: Much of the plot of ''Blood Wings'' is set off by Sean killing Tommy's mother for no reason and then summoning Pumpkinhead for, again, no reason.

* {{Squick}}: The implication in ''Blood Wings'' that [[TheGrotesque Tommy]] was the result of Pumpkinhead having... [[IfYouKnowWhatIMean relations]] with a woman.
