A Neighborhood Scarecrow!
6 December 2006
I totally enjoyed watching it! I bought the 45 record of the theme song and played it while making a scarecrow mask out of an old potato sack and a cowboy hat I soaked in water and used my fist to stretch it to a round point, and a costume with a long piece of wood sticking out the shoulders. I would run around our neighborhood as The Scarecrow! The best fun I ever had as a 12 year old. I later moved on to masks and make-up EFX. I move to Hollywood and worked in film including CLOSE ENCOUNTER OF THE THIRD KIND and Disney's SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES.

I never forgot how much fun I had being the Scarecrow of Romney Marsh. And to this day when I play the theme, or watch the show I'm immediately transported back to those days in all it's fun and glory. Thank-you Uncle Walt, and thank-you Patrick McGoohan.
