Pumpkinhead in your language


What's the name of the monster in your language? In Polish we call it "Dynioglowy" which literally means "pumpkin headed".

"Kurpitsapää" kurpitsa: pumpkin, pää: head :)

In Finnish that is. Tho' the movie was translated into "Koston paholainen" (demon of the revenge) :P

Not a bad movie btw! Old horror ftw.

Cap de dovleac , in Romanian. Although the title here is something like Monster's Fury ...

In Spain the movie was titled "Pacto de Sangre" (Agreement of blood) and the creature was named "Cabezón" (Big Head) to use a single word like in English and not more because Spanish for Pumpkinhead is "Cabeza de Calabaza".

Is Pedro Negro a good guy, or a bad guy? Or is he just a means of scaring the crap out of kids?

It's "Kõrvitsapea" in Estonian. "Kõrvits" means "pumpkin" and "pea" means "head".

I don't think the Japanese have a native word for pumpkin, they have kabocha, which is actually a sort of green Asian squash, so maybe they'd make a portmanteau like they did with Gojira, which is derived from the words for gorilla (Gorira) and whale (kujira)...so I don't know. They'd probably just call it revenge demon, oni ga fukushu o suru or somethng... ;-)
