Night of the Scarecrow
A group of drunk teenagers accidently set free the spirit of a warlock, which possesses a scarecrow. The scarecrow goes on a bloody rampage killing the descendents of the men who had killed the warlock a century before. A newcomer and the daughter of the mayor try to stop it before it is too late and the warlock can reincarnate...
Why it matters
A gritty, small-town slasher with a supernatural twist that taps into rural folklore and ’90s practical effects charm.
- Classic ’90s direct-to-video vibe with a scarecrow killer rooted in folk horror tradition.
- Lean, violent, and unapologetically trashy — just the right mix of gore and camp for fans of low-budget cult horror.
- Practical effects deliver satisfying splatter moments without overreach, capturing that era’s DIY spirit.
- For viewers who dig revenge curses and a slow-building menace that feels like it could have played late-night on Syfy.
