Question about ending (spoiler)

I am not a fan of horror films, but I may have watched this film several years ago. I'd rather not have to watch the whole thing again. The movie I remember showed the sheriff figuring out who the creature is. At the end of the film the sheriff talks to the creature and shows him that someone cares about him. This act of kindness makes the Pumpkinhead become a child again. At the end of the movie, there is a scene where the sheriff has helped the Pumpkinhead become a child and he kneels down to be at the same height as the child. It would be nice to know if I have the right movie.
