DEAD TED PUMPKINHeD

"How smart could he possibly be? His head is hollow... He has no brains!" 

 

Meet TED. A lost soul.

No, that's not entirely true.

Ted is a fugitive from the Great Beyond, unable to give up partying in the Mortal World.

So his soul inhabits a scarecrow with interchangeable Jack-O-Latrens for his head.  

Now, every fugitive has a hunter and his is the psychopathic GRIM JIM REAPER and his hot-rod death machine, THE WIDOW-MAKER.

On the run, Ted seeks refuge in a small town, promising a young couple to harbor him for a week in exchange for a magic wish - which he has no ability to fulfill. Because Ted is not magical, he's a bullshit artist. 

Meanwhile, Grim Jim is closing in fast, and he doesn't intend to only take Dead Ted back, but all his friends with him! 

DEAD TED PUMPKINHeD is designed to be a live action 100 minute Halloween themed feature film with CGI/puppet characters of Dead Ted / Grim Jim.
