Dark Night of the Scarecrow

I liked this one a lot as a kid.

It seemed pretty suspenseful at the time, but doesn't really lend itself to multiple viewings. I believe this was the first outing for Larry Drake's patented simpering half-wit. At least he got to gorily dispatch all the bullies in this one, whereas on L.A. Law, Benny could only quietly daydream of lacing Douglas Brackman's coffee with Drano.
