Pumpkinhead (1988)

This movie has three great things going for it: Lance Henriksen's committed performance as the vengeance seeking dad, the awesome creature effects on the titular monster, and an interesting genre twisting premise where we experience the horror from multiple points of view. If I had a complaint, it was that we didn't get that much interpersonal conflict among the doomed city-slicker kids before they started getting picked off, so some of the early personality clashes never quite pay off. But all in all I really enjoyed this one.
