Dark Night of the Scarecrow: Deluxe Collector's Edition is a classic horror movie that is often showcased as a part of Halloween movie marathons. The movie has aged quite well and still manages to send shivers down the spines of the audience. The movie revolves around a group of small-town people who live in a rural part of America. The town has an odd scarecrow named Bubba, who is often the target of mockery and bullying from the locals. He is a gentle soul who enjoys spending his time with Marylee, a young girl who is his only friend in the town. One day, a little boy named Timmy is found dead in the field where Bubba is stationed. The people of the town immediately assume that Bubba is the culprit and set out to hunt him down. Bubba, being a passive soul, runs away from the mob and tries to hide in Marylee's farmhouse. However, the mob eventually catches up with him and after a brief altercation, Bubba is killed.

The rest of the movie deals with the aftermath of Bubba's death. Strangely, the members of the mob begin to die one by one in mysterious ways. It seems like there is an unknown force that has taken it upon itself to avenge Bubba's death. The members of the mob are now terrified and trying to figure out who or what is behind these deaths.

The movie is a slow-burn horror movie and builds up tension effectively. The scenes where Bubba is being hunted down by the mob are quite chilling and leave an impact on the viewer. The acting by the cast is commendable, especially Larry Drake, who plays Bubba. He manages to evoke sympathy for his character despite being mute for most of the movie. The movie also manages to challenge the audience's assumptions about the supposed villain of the movie.

The movie is aesthetically pleasing, with the rural landscapes and the iconic scarecrow setting adding to the atmosphere. The score of the movie is haunting and adds to the tension of the scenes. The editing of the movie is also noteworthy, with the non-linear storytelling adding to the mystery of the plot.
