A brand new R.L. Stine terror tale is headed our way this Halloween season, with The Hollywood Reporter announcing the project R.L. Stine’s Pumpkinhead this morning.

A feature adaptation of the same-titled episode from the television series “R.L. Stine’s The Haunting Hour,” R.L. Stine’s Pumpkinhead premieres on October 17 only on Tubi.

R.L. Stine’s Pumpkinhead centers on teenage Sam, whose family’s move to Redhaven is made worse when his brother Finn disappears — and no one else remembers that he existed.

“Sam joins friend Becka and eccentric Rusty in the race to find Finn and break a harvest curse before Halloween ends.”

Bean Reid, Adeline Lo, Kevin McNulty, Bob Frazer, Matty Finochio and Seth Isaac Johnson star. Jem Garrard (Slay) directed Pumpkinhead and also wrote the screenplay.

“R.L. Stine’s Pumpkinhead is a playful blend of good fun, big scares with an element of adventure that taps into everything audiences love about Halloween and young-adult horror,” says Tubi chief content officer Adam Lewinson. “We’re thrilled to collaborate with the legendary ‘master of fear,’ R.L. Stine, as part of our growing slate of YA storytelling that bridges generations and delivers fresh, genre-driven entertainment.”

“There’s something rotten inside these pumpkins — and it isn’t pumpkin meat!” Stine teases. “I’m so happy to see one of my most terrifying Halloween stories brought to chilling life in this new movie.”
