Considering Stanley is a moronic man-child who only even raised the scarecrows so he didn't have to do the work he was hired for, I'd say a better moral is to make sure to vet your hires.

With how much food shows up in the goosebumps shows and books I’m surprised there isn’t a cookbook I I like themed cookbooks

[@jacquierojas]

I feel like Stanley is the anti hero of the episode. He makes questionable choices and thinks he’s doing the right thing

[@kingnusmi]

it started off very innocent but he did use the scarecrows to get what he wants, but they explain that he doesn't really understand the weight of his actions

[@OurKindofEntertainment]

The part that got me was Sticks saying his dad wasn't really a mean or bad guy. If me and my sister were the out of town kids visiting our grandparents and we find out YOUR DAD was essentially making OUR grandparents his servants under the threat of living scarecrow vengeance; we are snapping Sticks like a twig and going after your pops with a shovel and other blunt farm equipment! We don't play that! Especially when the southern cooking WE gave up our summer for was replaced by corn flakes and cherry pie. Nah, them scarecrows would've had to hold me back from Stanley catching these hands!

[@de606returns6]

Tbh yeah; I couldn't find any sympathy for Stanley personally

[@Peepholly]

I wasn’t ever too bothered by the other episodes but this one terrified me as a child, especially when I lived out in the country with lots of land and fields. I remember watching this episode with my mother at night and she went outside and had the door open and I was looking outside and had the biggest fear that one was gonna come in lol. I love your channel ! Brings back so many memories

[@mastermoo4993]

The Scarecrow walks at midnight was the first goosebumps episode I have ever watched

[@tattedupluv]

I have been scared of scarecrows and cornfields for as long as I can remember. When I tell people that they almost always say "is that because of Children of the Corn?" Have you seen that movie??? The ending is ridiculous and would never incite fear. The sfx are awful. Anyway, I always compare it to a fear of the dark. You can't see what's in front of you. You could easily get lost and never know something is just a few rows beside you. These episodes of goosebumps, the haunting hour, etc. are terrifying to me. I LOVE EM! 😊

[@RHWright]

As a farm kid I just love how you called the combine a thrasher. That's honestly such a dope name for it. And now I think after stories about sentient scarecrows, haunted farms, and movies about haunted cars, there should be something about a haunted combine harvester.

[@jonnybarnard8578]

It's not a harvester but you should check out The Mangler. Pretty great, schlocky horror movie lol

[@sirraf23]

It's called a thresher, he's just mispronouncing it.

[@RHWright]

@sirraf23 Well threshing is just part of its job but yeah you might be right lol. Or maybe he could have said thresher and I heard thrasher lol

[@sirraf23]

@@RHWright no, I thought I misheard him the first time but he said it like 15 more times and it was definitely thrasher. I can't laugh too hard though, the only reason I know it's called a thresher is because my grandpa made fun of me when I called one a thrasher when I was younger.

[@Bulbasaur617]

Fantastic job covering this episode. It's one of my favorites. There's definitely different changes between the book and the episode version. Some are meh. While others are horrifying. Between the two, I prefer the tv version. It explains why the Scarecrows move. That and the ending on Stanley making the Thrasher come to life may be more terrifying. You now have a runaway killer vehicle after you. Well done on doing this episode. Keep up the great work and take care!

[@kingnusmi]

thank you! I guess bringing the thrasher to life seemed a little silly to me, but now that I think about it. it is a bigger threat than a teddy bear 😂

This was my favorite Goosebumps episode and out of Haunting Hour and AYAOTD it is the best scarecrow story because the scarecrows are featured more, the others they have them but don't use them too much.

[@AshlynnBee]

Scarecrows are one of the scariest horror entities to me, and this is one of my fave (and scariest!) goosebumps books. I had a custom denim jacket painted it with the cover. To help overcome my fear. Harold from Scariest Stories is one of my scariest scarecrow entities.

[@Skittlestherapper-l1w]

Im pretty sure the graphic novel also changed the ending(I could be wrong) , but I’m pretty sure it was a mounted bear that came to life instead of a teddy bear, if I’m wrong it would still be a cool ending

[@hotintown57]

Scarecrow walks at night is my favorite episode 😂

[@reignfire85]

Scarecrows can definitely be creepy as hell; even just being in a vast cornfield with nobody around or lost in a corn maze are frightening prospects. There's a film recently covered by The Cobwebs Channel called Dark Harvest (it's not a standalone review, it's part of a list of themed films). The story is that circa 1960, there's a small town where the teen boys all have to wage a full-scale war against a monstrous scarecrow that rises from the cornfields (I suppose failure means the town is destroyed by a curse or something).

[@SquirmieWormington]

They probably changed the ending cause they didn’t want to encourage setting cornfields on fire, idk some censors are overly worried about kids recreating what they see on tv. Or maybe imagery of things on fire is just to frightening. Or maybe they didn’t have budget for pyrotechnics. Now that I’m thinking about it there are so many reasons they could have changed it 🤷‍♀️

[@genericname2747]

Probably the budget thing tbh. I bet they used a real cornfield that the farner would object to them burning

This episode scarred me for such a long time. I borrowed the episode from my local library. I had my cousin over and me and him watched it.

Great video👍 I didn't grow up on Goosebumps or Are You Afraid of the Dark, so it's interesting seeing what I missed out on. I’m usually not afraid of scarecrows, I love the scarecrow from Wizard of Oz. But they work well in horror, like Harold from Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. Have you seen the Scarecrow episode of the Australian series, Round the Twist?.... That scared the hell out of me as a kid. I don’t know how they thought it was ok for kids, like who approved of it? If I had a childhood trauma list, that would be my number 1 because it impacted me that much (I would've liked it if they burned or shredded those scarecrows...)
