- The lightening storm opening beheading sets the perfect stage
- Scarecrow attacks during sun bleached afternoon ala THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE
- Ryan gets personal with that signed baseball and the tale about his brother’s death (He also wears THE coolest hockey sweater)
- No, he didn’t just pop out of the bed!
- Marge Longacre (PATRICIA PHILLIPS) and her scissors! Actually, Marge tears it up in just about every scene she’s in. ALICE KRIGE, watch your back!

I absolutely love Friday the 13th the series! The scarecrow episode is definitely in my top 10 favorite episodes. One of the most frightening things in this episode is Ryan’s wardrobe. I was so excited when Chiller began airing the show. It is criminal that this jem hasn’t been released on DVD yet.
My top 10 episodes:
1. Scarecrow
2. The Baron’s Bride
3. Vanity’s mirror
4. The quilt of hathor
5. The inhertitance
6. Tails I live, heads you die
7. Crippled inside
8. Doorway to Hell
9. Brain drain
10.
Oops! I hit post before typing 10. Eye of death
Sorry about that!
Mickster,
I have to catch up with and reevaluate this show. I remember when it was on back in the day but not as well as I’d like. That Scarecrow episode is
amazing. The first thing that struck me was how much it resembled THE X-files which it predates. (Some of that may have been the Canadian landscape.) Thanks for the top ten list I will use it as a reference guide to which episodes to keep my eye out for!
Friday the 13th: The Series is my ALL-TIME favorite show. Just bought the first season DVD set, and am loving that it is also airing in mini-marathons on the SciFi Channel.
The Scarecrow episode is one of my favorites, as well. Creepy atmosphere, scarey scenes. Love it!
