电影《恐怖南瓜头》是典型的低成本恐怖片，以南瓜魔为吓唬观众的号召，看起来有点令人失笑，但爱好类型片的观众可能仍会乐此不疲。剧情描述过三名摩托车骑士在偏僻的荒野撞死了一名男孩，然后不顾而去。父亲艾德伤心欲绝，誓要替儿子报仇。他想起了童年时代亲眼见过南瓜魔杀人的恐怖威力，于是将自己出卖给恶灵，央求南瓜魔为他展开复仇行动。导演史登．温斯顿卖力地想营造出一个有恐怖气氛的荒野传说，可惜有心无力，成绩差强人意。

Miyako is a frustrated insurance saleswoman stuck in a major dry spell. She tries every trick in the book, including aggressive flirting, which gets her plenty of gropers but no buyers. One day while venturing down a narrow stairwell, she injures her ankle and happens upon Mitsuru who works for some mysterious foreign company. Decked out in high goth style -- complete with long inky black hair and mascaraed eyes -- Mitsuru cuts quite an odd figure, yet his seductive though menacing ways make him difficult for Miyako to resist. Escorting her to his office to treat her ankle, Miyako notices that his all-female staff seem more glassy-eyed and soul-deadened than the average office workers. In fact, they seem almost like zombies. Later, weird things start happening. Mitsuko finds vomit on her doorstep, she seems to be tailed by a shadowy woman in a red dress, and most strikingly, she finds herself utterly powerless against Mitsuru's advances. Soon she is offered a job at Mitsuru's office among the undead and the damned. Does Miyako's potential new place of employment at least offer stock options in exchange for her soul?
