Stephen King: Pumpkin Head (Quantum Leap "The Boogieman"): In the strange Halloween episode of Quantum Leap, Sam leaps into the body of horror novelist Joshua Ray. The episode involves Sam battling the Devil (disguised as his holographic companion through time Al), but it also features "Stevie," Ray's young assistant who dresses up as a pumpkin-headed scarecrow for a local spook house — and it's heavily implied that Stevie is, in fact, a young Stephen King.
