DARK NIGHT OF THE SCARECROW Falls On DVD (And Blu-Ray)!

Beaks here... Here's some welcome news courtesy of Deadpit.com's "Kentucky Colonel" and CHUD.com's Alex Rivello: the made-for-TV horror fave DARK NIGHT OF THE SCARECROW is at last headed for DVD and Blu-Ray! It's been over twenty-five years since I watched DARK NIGHT OF THE SCARECROW, but it's etched indelibly in memory as one of the most frightening films of my childhood. The sight of poor Bubba Ritter (Larry Drake) exacting revenge (via pitchfork!) on the vicious townspeople who wrongly executed him for abusing a young girl ranks right up there with HALLOWEEN and SALEM'S LOT as a champion inducer of nightmares. I don't know how it'll hold up now, but I can't wait to revisit the movie once it resurfaces. Details are light at the moment, but if Rivello's reporting it, I'm going to trust it's a done deal. Great, great news!
