More Pumpkin'man art anyone?

I'm thinking about developing a story around my pumpkin'man picture. (ya know, the guy in the Autumn Angel pic)

I don't have many good ideas at the moment, so everything has a chance of being changed. At the moment I'm considering calling him Crow... Possibly even Crow Pumpkin'man. (yeah, it's so original, but it's kinda cute right?) Anyway, He's a powerful spirit, and what determines if he's good or evil is the heart of the person he is around the most.
I can't decide if I want to make him able to talk or not. Since this will just be a writen story with only a few illusrations, it might be hard to make him loveable if he can't speak.
Maybe he's summoned by some.... I dunno, interesting bad guy of some sort, to do his evil deeds and all that stuff, but he looses controll of the pumpkin'man and it escapes to go on some horrible killing spree or something like that.  But the further away the spirit gets from the bad guy, the less evil he becomes and just kinda becomes some lost roaming spirit-thing. He scares the hell outta some crazy farmers and they try to beat him to death and tie him to some branches and leave him out in the middle of a wheat field like a scarecrow. One of the younger kids of a local farmer finds him. The kid doesn't think he's scary at all and gets him down. Since the kid has a good heart the pumpkin man also becomes very good hearted. He becomes the kid's only friend and they're all happy and stuff like Calvin and Hobbes, untill the Evil bad guy that summoned/created the pumpkin man comes back and demans that the kid give the pumpkinman back to him. Some kinda fight thing happens where the pumpkinman must choose to be good or bad and somehow saves the kids life and kills the evil guy. No idea where to go from there.

I'd be happy to hear what you guys think of the ideas so far. Feel free the leave whatever comment you want, positive or negative, Any input will help. ^_^
