Pumpkinhead (1988)

Plot: When a backwoods father loses his young son in a tragic, accidental hit-and-run by a group of careless city teenagers, his profound grief turns into an insatiable thirst for vengeance. Struck by blinding fury, he seeks out a withered mountain witch to awaken a dormant, grotesque demon of myth known as Pumpkinhead. Once unleashed, the towering behemoth tracks the teens relentlessly, executing its bloodthirsty wrath. However, the father quickly learns a terrifying truth: a psychic bond links him directly to the monster, meaning every horrific murder chips away at his own humanity, forcing him into a desperate race to halt the unstoppable curse he created.
