Yes: Pumpkinhead prequel series

The 1988 movie directed by special effects wizard Stan Winston gives a tease of the title creature popping up decades before the main events of the film—but mostly, it’s a fractured fairy tale about a man seeking vengeance who ends up regretting his decision to hire a witch to conjure a monster. A mountain-dwelling witch with monster-conjuring powers is rich prequel fodder. Maybe the long-rumored Pumpkinhead movie reboot will go there, but a creepy-crawly TV series could also use it as a jumping-off point.
