Review of Dark Night of the Scarecrow (1981) by Seth P — 28 Dec 2010
Probably the greatest made-for-TV Horror film ever, I've waited what feels like eons for this to come out on video. Truly eerie & atmospheric, with a show-stopping acting job by the very under-rated character actor Charles Durning, as the thoroughly despicable murdering-mailman Otis Hazelrigg.
An old-fashioned horror-allegory about retribution & "just desserts", rife with superb performances from a top-notched cast comprised mainly of some well-seasoned character folk (Larry Drake, Lane Smith, Claude Earl Jones, & Marlon's sister Jocelyn Brando-).
A great film to watch on Halloween night!!
