At the end of September, JoBlo Media and Octane Multimedia teamed up to launch a new YouTube channel named JoBlo TV, which hosts multiple feature films to watch for free throughout the week. The genres we’ll be focusing on at JoBlo TV are Action, Horror, Sci-Fi, Fantasy, and Thrillers – but for the month of October, we were celebrating Halloween all month long with our JoBlotober event.

There aren’t too many horror flicks set in the county of Yorkshire, so when one comes along, my Yorkshireman ears prick up and I’m there, my northern soul ready to soak in “some ‘er that ‘orror”. Pumpkins is directed by Maria Lee Metheringham (The Photographer 2: Inside the Dark Room) who also wrote it with Will Metheringham (Snuff Reel), and is a full on traditional-style slasher picture set in North Yorkshire.

We meet a farmer who really loves his patch of pumpkins and encounters a couple of scumbag hooligans who torment him to death, quite literally. Unluckily for the douche-bag thugs who sent him to his grave, the farmer (Terry Wood) fell into some...
