Night of the Pumpkin (15:10)
Halloween Short Films; Horrors of Halloween; IMDb; YouTube

This short is framed by an old man sitting by a campfire, telling a trio of kids a story... which we see acted out as the main part of the film. One Halloween, two guys named Steve and Cutter summoned a demon that possessed a Jack-o-Lantern, which then went on a rampage, eating a bunch of people. The first victim was Cutter. Then we see a girl named Sara, who discovers that her parents had been eaten by the pumpkin. She tries to convince a cop of this, but he doesn't believe her. When Steve shows up at the police station, the cop doesn't believe him, either, but Steve and Sara team up to stop the pumpkin themselves. Beyond that, I won't say anything else about the plot. But the whole thing is a hilariously redonkulous spoof of cheesy horror movies.
