He was buried in a half burial ground (reserved for family members people are ashamed of)/half pumpkin patch.

Time of your life, huh, kid?

Because it sounds really cool.

because the monster's head is constructed from an actual Pumpkin... or else, the monster is actually played by Obama.

Because potatohead had already been taken.

In the story's original premise, the monster would occasionally break out into a rendition of "One Night In Bangkok."

Of course back then the original name for the monster was "Murrayhead".
