Based on The Scarecrow Walks at Midnight, book #20 of the original Goosebumps series.
Jodie and Mark are visiting their grandparents' farm for the summer, only for spooky things to start happening involving the scarecrows in the cornfields.
The episode provides examples of:
- Abled in the Adaptation: Grandma Miriam has eyeglasses in the book. In the episode, she seems to be able to see just fine without them.
- Adaptational Alternate Ending: Instead of a stuffed bear, it is a thrasher that comes to life at the end.
- Adaptation Title Change: "The" is dropped from the start of the episode's title.
- Adaptation Dye-Job:
- Jodie is a blonde in the book, but a brunette in the episode.
- Also in the book, Grandma Miriam has bright, curly red hair that Jodie is amazed at and believes it's dyed. In the episode, it's just blonde.
- Scary Scarecrows: With this title, what did you expect?
