HE’S BAAACK!
A long long time ago a wizard was put to death, but he swore vengeance on the townsfolk that did him in, particularly Arthur Kelly’s family. Arthur had done the final graces on him when he came back to life as Mr. Jack the Pumpkin Man. The Kellys proliferated through the years, and when some devil-may-care teens accidentally unleash Jack-O, young Sean Kelly must stop him somehow as his suburban world is accosted and the attrition rate climbs
It’s not often you encounter garbage with a heart as golden as JACK-O’s, a mid-90’s straight to DVD slasher that hasn’t gotten the cult following it deserves.
Shot on a shoestring budget on location in Apopka, Florida and produced by legendary B-filmmaker Fred Olen Ray. Also features scream queen Linnea Quigley, and John Carradine’s final (released) performance – filmed in 1985, seven years before his death and a full decade before the film’s listed release date.
