shareTotally agree with the OP that it is a vengance demon, but as far as there being many, I am not too sure of that. I am sure that there are many vengance demons, but there is only one pumpkinhead. He was given the name pumpkinhead because he was buried in a pumpkin patch, which was stated in one of the movies. Tommy is Pumpkinhead's real son, which was stated in the movie, blood wings.
Never take life too seriously, no gets out alive anyway.
