Tubi is getting into the spirit of Halloween with the original movie R.L. STINE’S PUMPKINHEAD, now exclusively available on the platform in the UK for the first time.
’Tis the season to be screaming, and Tubi is getting into the Halloween spirit early! With the season of the witch in full swing, the major streamers are lining up their Halloween favorites to get us suitably spooked ahead of All Hallows’ Eve. Now, Tubi has conjured up a proper chiller of its own! The streamer has announced that R.L. STINE’S PUMPKINHEAD is now available exclusively on its UK platform for the very first time. Inspired by R.L. Stine’s beloved The Haunting Hour, this spooky adventure promises a frightfully fun mix of chills, thrills, and Halloween mischief.
In the film, Sam’s brother Finn mysteriously vanishes, and things take a terrifying turn when nobody—not even their own mother—remembers he ever existed! With Halloween fast approaching, Sam teams up with his friend Becka and Rusty, the town’s most eccentric outcast, to break a sinister harvest curse before Finn is lost forever. With a creepy mystery, a race against time, and a Halloween curse lurking in the shadows, this one sounds like a treat rather than a trick!
But does R.L. STINE’S PUMPKINHEAD have what it takes to become a new Halloween favorite? There’s only one way to find out! Check out the trailer below and prepare for a pumpkin-spiced nightmare!
SYNOPSIS
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.
