752 Pumpkinhead (1988)

 The  always reliable Lance  Henriksen stars  here  as  a  vengeful father out  in  the  sticks who  calls  on  a  local demon  when his  son is  mown down by an oaf  from  a  group  of  campers . This  is  a slick  monster  movie  graced  with  some genuine pathos. Henriksen is  great but the  victims  are a bit too  thinly  drawn  for  you to  care  much  what  happens to  them.

Cynthia Bain ( as Tracey )

Sex : No

Death : Survives


Cynthia  is  from California and  this  was  her  second  film  role. Her  acting  career mostly  consisted of  TV  work. In 2005, she  retired from  acting  herself  and  became  an  actung  coach. She  worked  in  this  capacity on  Tv  for  another  10 years  and  runs  her  own  Young Actor Studio.

Kimberly Ross ( as Kim )

Sex : No

Death : Dropped on to a rock from a great height


Kimberly  was  from  Missouri  and  was  a  model  before going  into  acting in  the  early  eighties. This  was  her  penultimate  screen role . After  retiring from acting  in  the  early  nineties, she  ran  a  photography studio. She died of breast cancer in 2006.

Kerry Remsen ( as Maggie )

Sex : No

Death : Her head is rammed through a glass window, cutting her throat


Kerry  was  from  Los  Angeles  and  had  a  solid unspectacular  career , mainly on TV, between 1981 and 1995.

Devon Odessa (as Hessie )

Sex : No

Death : Survives


This  was 14 year old Devon's first film role after a handful of TV appearances. Her  career has  been  split about 50/50  between film and  TV ( notably My So-Called Life )  but  her  appearances have been sporadic in recent years.
