[edit] Summary

The film begins with two men on their motorcycles driving away from Pumpkinhead. One of the men hits a tree branch in their path, falling from his motorcycle and allowing Pumpkinhead to catch up to him. As the man is being killed, the film cuts to a man in a log cabin who seems to share the pain inflicted by Pumpkinhead on the fallen man. The surviving man, named Dallas, rides to the log cabin, and the man who conjured Pumpkinhead, begging him to call the demon off. Pumpkinhead smashes through the window and Dallas attempts fend him off by shooting him with a small pistol with little effect, and is clawed in the chest by the demon. When Dallas realizes that his bullets have no effect on Pumpkinhead, he swears to take the summoner with him, shooting the man and killing him, causing Pumpkinhead to vanish. Ed Harley then appears telling Dallas that Pumpkinhead will return and there will be no place to hide.

Five years later the family of the Hatfields and McCoys have started a feud because of a car. The Hatfields then trash the McCoy wedding. Jody Hatfield sneaks out to see her true love, Ricky McCoy. Ricky brings his sister, Sarah, to look out for him and Jody. The two then start to make-out. Jody's brothers then find and kill Sarah by accident. Jody's brother's then try to kill Ricky. Ricky then finds his dead sister in the woods. Ricky then goes to Haggis for help and the two invoke Pumpkinhead to kill the Hatfields. At the end of the film most of the Hatfields are killed as well as some of the McCoy family. Ricky realizes want he has done and takes Pumpkinhead with him and they fall down a well. This is the first film in the franchise that does not imply that Pumkinhead is still alive.
