Official Description (via Morris Costumes)[]
"Something evil is growing in the cornfield! This terrifying scarecrow prop stands at an imposing 7' tall at the top of his gnarled stem and features a flickering light-up Jack O' Lantern head and chest. He is dressed in a burnt-looking fabric costume and has two creepy elongated hands to complete the look. An excellent animated prop to add to your indoor Halloween decorations! The scary decoration is easy to assemble with quick-connect poles and includes volume control. When it comes to Halloween the bigger the scarier and this Scorched Scarecrow is downright nightmarish!"
