The Scarecrows

Scarecrows are monsters that appear in the twentieth Goosebumps book, The Scarecrow Walks at Midnight.

The Scarecrow Walks at Midnight
The Scarecrows appeared in the book and TV episode The Scarecrow Walks at Midnight. They are inanimate scarecrows brought to life by the main villain of the book so that he can take over the farm. In the book the scarecrows all die by being burned to ash. In the television episode, the scarecrows are shredded by the thresher.

Goosebumps (film)
Three Scarecrows are among the many monsters that are released by Slappy. They are taller than the other monsters just like the Pumpkinhead. One of the scarecrows is missing his hat. Around the end of the movie when all the monsters are sucked back into the book, one of the Scarecrows is seen as he is getting sucked in after losing his grip on a nearby tree. In the end credits the same scarecrow as seen on the original cover is animated and is seen waking up from a (presumably long) slumber, its eyes glowing.

Trivia
