Pumpkin HELL is a single-level PWAD created by James Paddock (Jimmy). It was released in 2018 and uses a MIDI rendition of "A Ghost's Pumpkin Soup" from the Sonic Adventure 2 soundtrack, sequenced by John Weeks, as its music track. There are many graphical changes, such as with the cacodemons, stimpacks and keys. The par time defined in the DEHACKED lump is 6:30.
