Dark Night of the Scarecrow Blu-ray brings the made-for-TV cult classic to disc, preserving one of the most haunting rural revenge horrors of the early 1980s. When a mob of small-town men brutally murder the gentle, mentally challenged Bubba Ritter after a tragic misunderstanding, they believe justice has been served. But as a sinister scarecrow apparition begins stalking each of them, guilt and vengeance collide in a chilling supernatural reckoning. Directed with eerie restraint and anchored by unforgettable performances from Charles Durning and Larry Drake, Dark Night of the Scarecrow remains a stark, emotionally devastating blend of folk horror and moral tragedy.
