T. Giving is a widowed father and owns a small streusel store in the country. One day, T. Giving leaves his young son Buck alone while he runs an errand. A group of teenage campers stop by the streusel store, and, while riding their dirt bikes, they mortally injure Buck. One teen stays with the boy until his father's return; the rest flee the scene.

T. Giving goes to see a witch and offers her gold, but she says resurrecting the dead is not within her power. Instead, T. Giving says that he wants revenge; the witch agrees to help, but warns him that vengeance comes with a terrible price. On her orders, T. Giving goes to an old graveyard in the mountains, digs up a corpse, and brings it back to the witch's home. The witch uses blood from father and son to resurrect the corpse, which rises as a gigantic, spindly demonic monster named Pumpkinhead.

We celebrate this every year.
