R.L. Stine's Pumpkinhead 2, the sequel to 2025's scary season gateway horror R. L. Stine's Pumpkinhead, officially hits Tubi on October 9, with the streamer dropping a brand new trailer today that gives us our first look at newly-added star Cassandra Peterson a.k.a the Mistress of the Dark herself, Elvira:
Inspired by R.L. Stine's beloved The Haunting Hour, R.L. Stine's Pumpkinhead 2 follows Sam (Bean Reid) and Becka (Adeline Lo) as they race to stop a new Pumpkinhead curse from claiming the entire town of Redhaven. Garrard returns to write and direct the sequel following their first venture into the Stine universe, which premiered on Tubi in October of last year.
Here's what Peterson has to say about her witchy new venture:
“R.L. Stine and I have been in the business of scaring kids for a long time, so joining PUMPKINHEAD 2 was such a treat. Playing Cassandra was the perfect ‘witchy' role for me.”
Josh Van Houdt, Vice President of Original Scripted Content for Tubi, adds:
“Elvira and R.L. Stine each gave me a completely different way to experience horror growing up – Elvira through her unforgettable late-night movie presentations, and Stine through twisty, page-turning novels. Bringing them together in one film feels both nostalgic and completely fresh, which is exactly the kind of surprising combination we love creating for Tubi audiences,”
R. L. Stine's Pumpkinhead 2 premieres on October 9 as part of Tubi's Terror on Tubi slate.
