Tubi releases a trailer for R.L. Stine’s Pumpkinhead 2, a direct sequel that continues the story from last year’s film. The movie, directed by Jem Garrard, is scheduled to debut on Tubi on Oct. 9. The trailer highlights the return of a Pumpkinhead curse and centers on new efforts to stop it before it spreads through the town of Redhaven.
Across the reporting, the plot is described as Sam and Becka confronting a reawakened curse in Redhaven, with the “magic” tied to the Harvest Moon. Hollywood Reporter and FirstShowing both note Garrard’s return in both writing and directing, and both include a named character connection to Cassandra Peterson, who appears as a witch named Cassandra. While the outlets share the same core release and story beats, their emphasis differs: Hollywood Reporter frames the trailer as teasing Peterson’s new role, while FirstShowing also positions the sequel within Tubi’s upcoming Halloween programming and provides additional cast and series context.
