Night of the Scarecrow
Maybe it's beacuse I wasn't expecting much, but this movie was all right. It was much better than any other competition like Scarecrows. I thought the deaths were rather creative andit had some pretty decent camera angles too. The acting wasn't great, but a few of the character's had some depth. I liked how the Scarecrow acted scared of the cross and then laughed at it. I recommend this one. 4 out of 5.

Random Thought and Things Learned
- Old tractors have radios.
- It's dangerous to drink beer near a window.
- Being pinned to a wall with a pitchfork and then ran over with farm equipment can be considered 'an accident.'
