* AssholeVictim: The death of the financial adviser. He's a lot less sympathetic when you hear the conversation before he is run over; he's basically bragging about how easy it'll be to force John to sell the farm and he's putting up 'Foreclosure' signs despite the farm not actually being foreclosed. He was just trying to force John into selling. Then he's spooked in the cornfield and subsequently run over.

* ScaryScarecrow: Obviously. However the scarecrow is less 'evil' and moreso just doing what John wants like 'dealing' with the financial adviser and Tommy, the man who hit on his wife. John even states the scarecrow is 'protecting' him. It...just seems to be taking the orders out of sorts.

Considering the scarecrow's pagan origins, a [[HumanSacrifice human sacrifice]] would be seen as a fair trade.

Messengers 2: The Scarecrow is a 2009 American horror film and serves as the prequel to the film [[Film/TheMessengers The Messengers.]] John Rollins is a farmer and is struggling to keep it together with the looming drought and crows damaging his corn crops while a financial adviser, Chapman, hounds him to sell his farm. After a surprise visit from his neighbour Jude Weatherby, John erects the old scarecrow he found in the barn and suddenly his luck begins to change; the crows die, his irrigation system fixes itself, the financial adviser is struck by a truck and killed and his crops become strong and healthy.
However he's steadily convinced of unnatural events, made all the more apparent when his son pleads with him to destroy the scarecrow. Things worsen when a family friend is killed and his wife thinks he committed the deed.
