The scarecrow
The events of one summer in a small New Zealand town, circa 1950, are filtered through the eyes of a teenage boy. A series of loosely connected events are stylised to highlight the fantasies and fears generated by an adolescent imagination confronted by half understood forces and the behaviour of adults. It is full of telling and often comic details of life in the small community. Gothic elements are highlighted by the presence of the Scarecrow played by John Carradine and insistence upon the eccentric.

- "The story is centered around Ned Poindexter and his sister Prudence. The setting is the fictitious town of Klynham in the early fifties. The crimes are chicken stealing and murder. Herbert Salter is the Scarecrow, magician, murderer, hypnotist and sex maniac. He insinuates himself into the heart of the town, somewhere between the pub and the funeral parlour."
