Scarecrow horror games

Horror games where a scarecrow is the thing in the field. Some stand still beside the road or over a farmyard and seem a little closer each time you look. Others hunt you through corn mazes and rice paddies, creep forward from just out of view, or are the character you play. The fear is in a figure built to look like a person that should not move, and does.
