## Background

An elderly man, who owns his own private land, has been growing a patch of pumpkins along with his niece, Shelly, where they take care of them. The man’s devotion for his pumpkins, however, has made him bitter to anyone who tries to come up to his property and even threaten them. One day, two young men, Danny and Johno, who are both tired of the man’s devotion for his pumpkins and how he treats people decide to teach him a lesson by taunting him, calling him the Pumpkin Man, and vandalizing his pumpkins where they drew all over them. Upon seeing his own prized pumpkins vandalized, the man passes out on the pumpkin patch where the vines soon start wrapping themselves all over him and he starts to transform into the ground. At nighttime, as Shelly begins to wonder where Uncle is, the man suddenly rises out of the ground, now with a grotesque pumpkin for a head. After Shelly finds out what happened to her Uncle, they both kill Danny and Johno. Afterwards, the Pumpkin Man goes around his private land to kill anyone caught trespassing on it.

## Biography

As soon as nighttime falls, the Pumpkin Man starts to head out where Shelly gives him the knife to commit the murders. He comes across two campers, Daz and Becky, who are both camping on his private land and are about to have sex. As Daz heads out to urinate, Pumpkin Man decapitates him with the knife and afterwards decapitates Becky.

The next day, Pumpkin Man continues prowling through the woods while a group of campers were being guided by two leaders, Lance and Denise, for a survival week. One of the camper, Alex, is left behind after he opened up his tent too early and far from their camping site. As he fails to put away his tent, Pumpkin Man appears to him, holding Becky’s severed head. Frightened, Alex runs away and tries to hide behind a fence, only for Pumpkin Man to find and kill him.

Later, another camper, Sam, finds Daz’s headless body and tries to warn the other campers on the survival week about it, only for them to not believe her. After a while, the two leaders decide to go out to look for Alex while they make the remaining campers, Tommy, Macie, and Jen, to try to make soup out of pumpkins. As the two leaders look through the woods, they find a random Jack-o-Latern on the ground. Just then, Pumpkin appears where he kills Lance with his knife and stabs Denise multiple times.

Later, Sam keeps on running through the woods to find a building to call for help until she finds a pub filled with Punters. As she tries to warn them about a serial killer outside, one of the punters, Dave, decides to head back home. However, on his path home, he finds another Jack-o-lantern and gets killed by the Pumpkin Man. The lights in the Pub then suddenly start to go out and everyone inside bands together.

Meanwhile at the campsite, during nighttime, after Tommy got his fingers bitten off by some kind of animal in a pumpkin he was carving, he, Jen, and Macie start to fear the worst when Alex, Lance, and Denise have not arrived back. The three decide to head to the direction where Sam went with Macie carrying an axe for protection. As they run off through the woods, Macie trips and gets left behind. As she gets up, she finds Pumpkin Man behind her where he chokes her and kills her with her own axe.

As Jen and Tommy make it to the pub, after wondering what happened to Macie, they meet up with Sam and everyone inside the dark pub. With the Pumpkin Man outside of the pub, Tommy and Sam stay inside while everyone else heads out to fend themselves off. As they look around, they find a few Jack-o-lanterns on the ground where one of them, Punter Mark, gets ambushed by Pumpkin Man get his eyes squished into his head.

The Pub Owner, Landlord Stan, aims his rifle at the Pumpkin Man as everyone else runs away. However, Pumpkin Man uses the axe to chop Stan’s arm off and he bleeds to death. Everyone else makes back to the outside of the Pub where Sam refuses to let them in. Just then, Pumpkin Man appears once again and throws his axe at Jen’s back, killing her.

After killing Jen, Pumpkin Man heads back into the woods as everyone else watches him walk away. Once the sun rises, a couple of pumpkins roll into Shelly’s pumpkin patch where she calls them her babies.
