VALLEY OF THE SCARECROW
During the great depression, a small backwoods community in Iowa
face even more difficult times than most, having to endure the slowly
fading sanity of their town's leader, the Reverend Joshua Miller.
When it is clear the once holy man has slipped beyond the edge of
reason and perhaps signed a deal with the devil, the citizens unite
to stop him any way they can, breaking into the church to lash the
reverend to his wooden cross on the alter, then boarding up the
church's windows and doors to leave him to fate and God's judgment.
The people of Oak Valley then abandoned their town to the cornfields
and woods, ending the madness for what they hoped was forever.
They were wrong!
Nearly seventy-five years later, the corn and trees have taken
back the area, and not much is left of the once thriving little
community but Joshua Miller's desecrated church still stands, and
within it's boarded up and sun-baked walls something that used to
be a holy man waits for whoever is unfortunate enough to release
it from it's cross...
