Curse of the Scarecrow

No!

I know you're coming.

And I'll be waiting.

So, being two decades on,

you finally know the truth about your parents.

Yeah.

I mean like, I know it wasn't a scarecrow.

I don't even know how I thought that even just for a minute.

- It's not uncommon for people that experience traumatic

things to go into their psyche and create

a fantasy to be able to cope with it.

You were six years old, you watched your parents

being brutally slain in your own home.

You know, that's quite awful to have to deal with.

So putting a mask on the identity of the killer is,

is quite a normal thing that people

do in those, in those circumstances.

I just now think that it's time for you

to move forward now, which I think you have.

Yeah.

I mean, I just wanna know who it was.

You know, like I can't get it out of my head.

- Do you still have access to the family home?

Yep.

And who lives there now?

My brother Carl.

I don't think he ever moved on.

- I think maybe you should go back there.

How do you feel about that?

No, I couldn't.

If you're over this trauma,

and I thought that we'd dealt with it.

We have dealt with it.

See, you just said we.

It's not we June, this is your journey.

Only you are responsible,

and can take the action into your recovery.

I can only take you so far.

But it's down to you.

You're right.

So what do you suggest?

- I think you should call your brother.

And what's this in aid of?

- Hey Carl, it's nice to hear your voice.

You too, sis.

Last time was what?

Christmas?

I know, I'm so sorry.

I've been terrible.

But I wanted to let you know that, um,

I'm gonna come and see you, tomorrow.

No, you're not to come here.

You know you're not to come here.

- Carl, come on, I mean it's been 20 years,

I wanna be with you tomorrow.

And I wanna remember the good things, not just how it ended.

- It's been 20 years, and he will rise again.

- Carl, I thought we were past this.

It wasn't a scarecrow,

it was probably a burglary gone wrong or something.

We really have to face the truth, we're not kids anymore.

- I am, and it's about time you did, too.

I knew you'd come back.

Carl?

Carl, I'm coming tomorrow, okay?

I don't care what you say.

I wanna be with you, I wanna hang out with you.

- It's not safe for you here.

I've got to go.

Carl?

Come on!

Come on!

Show yourself!

I see you.

Come on!

- No, you don't have to come with me.

- Stop, I've been through it all with you so far, so.

Come on, when?

Tomorrow morning.

Tomorrow morning?

Yeah.

- I've gotta fix my hair but, should be all right.

Stop it, you dork.

You don't have to have your hair done for the farm.

Why not?

You dunno who could be there.

Give me a minute.

June speaking.

I can't believe it.

I can't believe he's dead.

- Well, they said it was suicide, do you believe there's

any reason to think that it was anything else?

Well, they determined suicide,

but they found him strung up in the barn.

June!

I've just heard, I am so sorry.

Oh, bless you.

You'll get through this, all right?

We're gonna get through this together,

all right? - Thank you.

All right.

Oh according to this, we should of gone left way back there.

- Jesus Christ, this place is in the middle of nowhere!

Oh wait, pull over, pull over.

Ask that lady over there, she might know where we are.

Hi.

- Hey, hey love, are you able to help us?

Yeah, what's up?

- We're just looking for directions

for the Old Creek Manor.

Old Creek Manor?

Why do you wanna go to that place?

No one's been there in years.

The man that lives there.

- Yeah, he got killed honey, last night.

Yeah, we know.

Are you able to just give us directions to the manor?

- Right, you know some crazy shit went on there, right?

People won't go out of these woods,

that's why you probably won't see any road signs but.

They say that the urban legends are real,

the scarecrow actually kills people.

You know what happened there

about 20 years ago, right? - Yeah, and

do you know the way?

- Like I said, honey, you're not gonna find any road signs.

People don't go out that far since the murders, but,

keep going straight, right?

Straight through those woods.

Hit left, then, you won't miss it, all right?

Thank you.

But I can't advice you enough.

Stay away from those woods for your own safety, all right?

You okay?

Just ignore her.

Crazy lady.

June?

Yeah, I'm fine.

That's why I moved from here.

All these stupid legends the locals make up.

Don't listen to her.

- Right where he always left them.

They're his.

Sorry.

- It's okay, that's why we're here.

We've gotta clean the place up.

It's been a long day.

Why don't we all just get some rest, yeah?

Sure.

- And, if you need anything, you know where I am.

- All right. - Thank you.

- Goodnight. - Goodnight, Karen.

Do you wanna?

I'm not tired yet.

Come on.

20 years, huh?

- Yeah, it's been 20 years since I've been here.

You okay?

Yeah.

Yeah.

- Chanel, I don't think it's a good idea us being out here.

- John, stop, it's fucking cool, okay?

- Some guys kills himself and you think

being on his land is cool?

- Well, you know the truth about this land right?

- I don't wanna hear about no urban legends.

- Come on, just hear me out, please.

Right, this crazy bitch.

What about it?

- Well, legend says that the scarecrow

is on this land, right?

And his spirit remains on the field waiting to walk again.

- The catch with that, is that a scarecrow

is created to ward off crows.

- True, but the truth also is that on this land,

centuries ago, there was a man left out to die here.

And apparently the locals caught him stealing,

and they found him doing all sorts of fucked

up shit with animals.

So they just hung him up and let the crows get him.

Yeah, okay.

- Fine, don't believe me, but it is real.

And his spirit does remain here.

Okay, you know what?

Follow me, come on.
