Dark Night of the Scarecrow (1981)


Good Old School Made For TV Film


Been quite a while since I've watched this one. Watching it again I must say it's a good old school horror film - and it was made for TV.

The movie has a pretty basic story line to follow for a "slasher" TV movie without being "silly" - it is enough to keep me interested. The "monster scare factor" is pretty decent. There is not an over abundance of scarecrow horror films out on the market so this movie gets bonus points for being a scarecrow "monster" film.

It's always nice to see Charles Durning on the screen - he's a good actor. He plays a "bad cop" role in this movie. Without giving the film away, Otis P. Hazelrigg (Durning) and his fellows did something they really should have not done - covering up their act - which leads to the "scarecrow".

Good film for the Halloween season and a late night flick. A worth while horror movie in my opinion.

7.5/10
