Creepy Scarecrows

We saw many scarecrows at the Scarecrow Festival. Some cute, some ugly, some very inventive, some sort of tacky, and some downright creepy. Like this one of two little children with weird masks. I look at them and think there is a horror story or two to be written about these scarecrows. I am not only talking about the two children, there were many others, some were willingly meant to be scary, with skulls instead of head or things like that. I am not sure if this was intentional with these two. I have read many horror stories around Halloween time, quite a few of them feature scarecrows. I guess they are natural tropes in an autumnal setting. I still think there is room for at least one more.
