Releases Reviewed:

Unfortunately the DVD offerings for Pumpkinhead are meager.

Basically you have a pan--&-scan or widescreen DVD options (the latter being a “Collector's Edition”). A Blu-ray has been released recently and looks promising.

I saw the older pan-&-scan MGM DVD release which is a single disc offering.

Video:

1.33: This is the TV standard “full-frame” ratio. The quality is tolerable and that's about it. I didn't expect much out of a transfer that didn't even bother to be widescreen.

Audio:

2.0 surround: The audio is clean enough to be enjoyable but nothing impressive.

Packaging:

The case is standard plastic.

The interface is simple but functional.

Extras:

Not a single, solitary thing.

Other Editions:

The Blu promises improved presentation quality and a bevvy of extras. I'm going to try to get my hands on it so check back for more details.

The Collector's Edition offers 1.85 widescreen and Dolby surround sound. There are no extras listed and no comments on the quality of this particular transfer.

There appear to be 2 different pan-&-scan releases, but looking at the release details the only difference I can turn up is the cover art.

Final Thoughts:

I'm looking forward to checking out the Blu-ray, but if you still in DVD land you don't really have a great option. The collector's edition is your best bet for quality.
