Dark Night of the Scarecrow
The Original Classic
Directed by Frank De Felitta
Produced by Wizan Productions
A vengeful supernatural horror film that uses a tragic miscarriage of justice and a scarecrow curse to explore themes of mob violence, guilt, and supernatural retribution.
Bubba, an intellectually disabled man, is falsely accused of attacking a young girl. Disguised as a scarecrow, he hides in a cornfield, only to be hunted down and shot by four vigilante men. After they are acquitted due to lack of evidence, the men find themselves being stalked one by one.
