Pumpkin Head was created from a regular carved pumpkin by having an enchanted candle placed inside of it. It came from a regular pumpkin patch, yet still Pumpkin Head talks about having had parents, brothers and sisters at the patch, although he can't ever remember them, possibly because he is always spitting his memory-containing seeds out.[2] According to Pumpkin his second name "Head" is also an ancient name that have been in his "family" for generations.[1] It is possible his whole patch was created to be enchanted jack-o'-lanterns, in which case this may be true, and the seeds his patch's planta came from were also enchanted jack-o'-lanterns, with the last name "Head".
