1988 Horror Movie ‘Hack-o-Lantern’ Coming to 4K This Halloween

The 1988 horror movie Hack-o-Lantern is coming to 4K Ultra HD for the first time this Halloween, from Massacre Video.

In the film, when Tommy was a boy, he witnessed his grandpa (Hy Pyke), the leader of a vicious satanic cult, murder his father in a brutal ritual on Halloween night. Now Tommy (Gregory Scott Cummins) is 18, and grandpa is ready to indoctrinate him into the ways of the black arts. But as night approaches, someone dressed like a member of the cult, with their face hidden behind a devilish mask, begins stalking and killing people connected to Tommy. Could it be grandpa, Tommy himself, or someone even more sinister behind these increasingly brutal murders?
