Return of the Scarecrow (2017)

Killer scarecrows have become popular horror villains as the costume is relatively easy to make, and like a clown, scarecrows can be personalized for each movie. A small town lives with a dark secret involving a scarecrow that can be brought to life if disturbed due to an ancient curse. The only way to control it is to send victims its way so it can sleep a few years more. Around Halloween, a group of visiting friends come to town and are lured to this menace after hearing tales in a bar. While some look to scare them with goofy costumes, a few citizens fear that the scarecrow will seek more victims in the community. Return of the Scarecrow has the look of a bloody horror movie, but it is instead more of an 80s-style horror comedy with its bungling characters and goofy moments involving the scarecrow. While it is a low-budget project, the movie has entertaining moments and some decent characters to help carry the film.
