Hack-O-Lantern, pretty weak 80s Halloween slasher
Young Tommy is given a pumpkin, a toy skeleton, and a pentagram necklace by his weirdly accented grandfather. When his mother learns where he got the pumpkin from, she smashes it. She complains to her husband about the man, and the way he singles out just their one son among all of them. He goes to complain, and gets killed upon observing a satanic ritual the grandfather presides over.

Years later, the son is a satanist too, and one of his brothers is a cop. The grandfather doesn’t want him to waste his energies on girlfriend, so one of the cultists dresses up in a devil mask and cloak, and she thinks it to be Tommy (this scene is stolen from Carpenter’s Halloween). The satanists are fairly careless about whether the pentagram is one point up, or two points up

There are a few musical scenes of bands performing. To some extent this is an element of 80’s horror movies, but it also serves to pad out a pretty bare movie. One of these scenes, of lead singer in afro and faux-tribal bikini shooting lasers from her eyes at the band members, who disappear, and pitchforking one of them in the neck is a music video in a dream (!). Several of the real deaths involve pitchforks too, though. We even get a swashbuckling swordfight at a Halloween party.

Given the overall cheeziness, viewers might be surprised at the full-frontal nudity scenes that turn up. They will also be unpleasantly surprised at a scene in which the movie comes to a dead halt, while a guy performs his impersonation of a turkey in the wild surrounded by hunters before Thanksgiving. It’s not funny in the remotest!

The only other Mundhra movie I believe I’ve seen is the softcore thriller Tropical Heat. In that, he largely wasted nice places shot on location in India, Maryam D’Abo, and Asha Siewkumar. A shame. He’s also did the horror movie Open House (1987), and he did the thriller Night Eyes (1990) which spawned three sequels.

This is a below average addition to the genre you need to see once if you’re a horror movie fan
Hack-O-Lantern (1988) is a movie I recently watched on Amazon Prime. The storyline follows a creepy grandfather who lives in a town with a cult that sacrifices people around Halloween. The grandson of the creepy grandfather becomes town sheriff and will need to hunt down the person responsible for all the recent murders while trying to get his creepy grandfather to layoff hitting on the towns children. This movie is directed by Jag Mundhra (The Jigsaw Murders) and stars Hy Pyke (Bladerunner), Gregory Scott Cummins (Cliffhanger), Carla B. (Terror Night) and Marya Gant (Cannibal Hookers). The best part of this movie is the creepy grandfather who is random and hard to watch at times. The acting in this is pretty bad and the horror elements are fairly weak. The music is okay and there’s some solid 80s nudity splashed in here and there. There are also some good props and a great twist in the final scene. Overall this is a below average addition to the genre you need to see once if you’re a horror movie fan. I’d score this a 4/10 and only recommend seeing it with the appropriate expectations.
