Scarecrows: American Horror Icons?

I'm fascinated with what the simple scarecrow has become in American pop horror and myth. When did this happen? Are there any websites dedicated to this genre? I'm a writer and looking for background on how it went from a farm aid to a horror icon. Thanks!

    I grew up on a farm, and find scarecrows roughly as scary as dirt. Good luck on your search.

    Edit: I am tempted to point out to Deacon that there is something more than a little pathetic about thumbs downing answers to your own question, but instead I will point out an extremely useful tool - it's called "Google search." Maybe you should try it.......

  • I think after how badly Kate Jackson's plastic surgery turned out that Mrs. Kings are pretty scary.
