DARK NIGHT OF THE SCARECROW is a 1981 made-for-television horror film directed by veteran novelist Frank De Felitta from a script by J.D. Feigelson. When a mentally challenged man (Larry Drake) is brutally murdered by a posse of locals (Charles Durning, Lane Smith) who wrongly accuse him of harming a young girl (Tonya Crowe), a terrifying scarecrow appears and exacts violent revenge on the killers.

For this release the original elements, unfortunately, could not be located after months of searching. Working with Post Haste sound, we were able to acquire the 48Hz/16Bit audio from the Pro Tools sessions 2.0 film mix that was used for the DVD/Bluray release. The packaging consists of a 4 page booklet featuring notes from composer Glenn Paxton and Writer/Producer J.D. Feigelson with artwork layout designed by Luis Miguel Rojas.

Meanwhile, the DARK NIGHT OF THE SCARECROW soundtrack is available to pre-order now, with an expected release date of October 30th! However, it’s limited to 300 copies only, so act fast!

So what do you guys think? Fans of the original TV movie? If so, going to buy the soundtrack? Either way, sound off below!
