Night of the Scarecrow is a 1995 American supernatural slasher film[1] directed by Jeff Burr, and starring Elizabeth Barondes, John Mese, Stephen Root, Bruce Glover, Dirk Blocker, John Hawkes, Gary Lockwood, and Martine Beswick.

After a devastating drought, townsfolk make a deal with a warlock that he has complete immunity in exchange for a bountiful harvest.

Two drunken workers driving the bulldozer at night accidentally break the stone coffin, releasing the spirit of the warlock which then possesses the scarecrow.

The Scarecrow goes on a killing spree to retrieve his magic book, to regain his body and exact revenge on the town.

"[4] A review for TV Guide says, "A healthy dose of directorial style and energy makes this prosaic low-budget chiller a tense, entertaining diversion.

"[7] Adam Tyner, writing for DVD Talk, said "It's kind of interesting seeing some of the familiar faces in the cast, and Night of the Scarecrow does trot out a few really nice looking setpieces, but none of that's enough to salvage this limp, lifeless, uninspired, instantly forgettable slasher flick.
