"Scarecrows" is a 1988 horror film directed by William Wesley.

Plot

"Scarecrows" is about five bank robbers who steal three million dollars from Camp Pendleton and take two hostages, a pilot and his daughter. As the robbers fly towards Southern waters, one of the robbers steals the loot and parachutes into a dark field. The remaining robbers land the plane and head for a broken-down house. The house has a demonic history, which causes scarecrows guarding surrounding graves to resurrect and slaughter any trespassers, dooming their victims to live on as scarecrows for all eternity. After the robbers are killed, one-by-one, the pilot's daughter and a robber escape in the plane. Once in-flight, the pilot, now a scarecrow, attacks them. The robber sacrifices himself by activating a grenade, killing himself and the scarecrow and allowing the girl to escape. The final scene shows the daughter's dog eating the charred remains.

Circulation

This cult classic finally had a DVD release on September 11, 2007 by MGM/Fox. According to Fangoria and IMDB posts, the DVD is unrated and uncut in a 1.85 anamorphic widescreen presentation with no special features.
