Do you like scary movies?

What's everyone's favorite scarecrow episode from a horror anthology series?


No need to get so stuffy about scarecrow puns.

I liked the one from Friday the 13th: The Series. I almost want to say there was one in Poltergeist: The Legacy but it's been so long since I've watched the series I can't remember.

Me reading the new thread title: lol look at all these lightweights who have never experienced the sheer unrelenting pain and boredom of Jack-O.

Scarecrows '88, Dark Night of the Scarecrow, and the F13th series episode are by far the best scarecrow poo poo around.

Sheet ghosts: you're made of fabric, what are you gonna do, tuck me in?

Witches: pssh what are you gonna do, sweep my floors?

Zombies: pssh, what are you gonna do, slowly stumble me to death?

Chucky: lol it's a literal toy, just kick it

Demons: hah I'm an atheist, gently caress you

Does Chucky have normal human strength, or doll strength? Cause he beats a teacher to death with a ruler, but gets slam dunked by Andy’s mom no problem

He only gets the edge on the teacher because she was old as gently caress and he caught her by surprise

Chucky is consistently a weak rear end little bitch who gets owned super hard in any 1 V 1 that isn't against a literal child or a physically disabled person

The Arrow Blu-Ray of Brain Damage is amazing. Frank Henenlotter's commentary is perfect. You can't really beat a commentary when the biggest fan of the genre is the director doing the commentary. I want Frank to be my uncle. Belial and Elmer are my spirit animals.



Yes, this image is actually from Brain Damage and not Basket Case. So there.

It is both very obvious from the get go and 100% consistent across every film that Chucky has the proportional speed and strength of a human Good Guys doll.

I always kind of figured that if Chucky is actively doing something, he has Charles Lee Ray strength, but if something's done to him he has Good Guy Doll durability.

Sort of the ultimate glass cannon among slasher villains, really.

It’s not a scarecrow movie, I was being stupid. You should watch it, but the third act drags like a mother.

Late for scarecrow chat but I have a soft spot for the scarecrow in Annabelle: Creation that was SO obviously a potential spinoff character ala The Nun. Like, the movie blatantly takes a five minute sojourn into spooky barn territory. It was great.

dracula can't go in uninvited, he can't get near two overlapping pieces of wood, he can't eat pizza or pasta, he can't walk around in daylight, can't touch silver, he can't loving touch water, and in addition to all that he can also die by getting decapitated, stabbed, burned, shot, and drowned just like the rest of us. dudes a goddamn joke.

And let's not forget that for all his supposed charms the only human he can manage to get under his thrall without turning him is a weirdo who eats bugs.
