'''''Jack-O''''' is a 1995 SlasherMovie produced by Fred Olen Ray and featuring Linnea Quigley and Creator/JohnCarradine.
Decades ago, a warlock was slain for his crimes. With his dying breath, he summoned a pumpkin-headed demon to slaughter the family of his executioner. The demon was imprisoned and buried to fade into harmless legend. Now, he has been awakened, and a bloodbath shall soon begin!
