I watched my DVD of the 1988 film 'Pumpkinhead' last night - the directorial debut of Stan Winston, the special effects maestro behind Terminator & Aliens & also starring the great Lance Henriksen (another 'Alien' connection!)
Not only is it a great film to get you in the Halloween spirit, I was intrigued by what I'd heard about the film also being one of the first screen appearances by Mayim Bialik. Or for those uninitiated - 'Blossom' or more recently 'Amy Farrah Fowler' from The Big Bang Theory.
So what to look out for... she's one of the local 'Wallace' kids when the truck turns up at Lance Henriksen's store. She's the kid on the left in the back of the truck and you see her briefly when she gets off the truck and the kids torment one of their own by singing about the Pumpkinhead creature.
