Darkwalker (2003)

A bunch of teenagers are hired at Halloween attraction Hobb's Grove to work at the parks haunted houses and hayrides. Sounds like fun, except that the attraction was built on the Hobbs Massacre site where during the 1800s a group of farmers had a cult that worshiped the land and used blood to raise crops, uh yeah right.

In a flashback to the 1800s, a man steals a pumpkin, carves it and blood flows out. Is that considered a good idea to fill your crops with blood? What can you do with the produce? You can't sell it or eat it. Stupid blood cult farmers...

Back in the present, the Dark Walker has come to life and is stalking workers at the park. Luckily he only kills the workers, not the patrons. So the owners keep it under wraps since they have invested all their money into the park and can't afford to close. Honestly, even if patrons were being killed, they'd still want to keep it quiet. They are able to convince the inept Sheriff that staying open a few more nights won't hurt and even get him to provide extra deputys for crowd safety.

Oddly enough even though the Dark Walker is from the 1800s, he knows how to use a chainsaw. While that did bring me amusement, this was a tough one to sit through.
