A nervous teenager at a Finley garage sale warns a new kid not to buy the five-dollar scarecrow sitting in a chair by the house, then tells the story of the Murphy family's Halloween yard display and the scarecrow Jack Murphy built with his father when he was eleven.
A NOTE FROM DARREN: As we step into the Halloween weekend, I thought it might be fun to share some Halloween-themed Creepypastas. Four fictional stories, in fact. And to add to the “Halloweenishness” of this episode, rather than spooky music in the background, as you can already tell, I’m back at the campfire to tell you these spooky stories – because it just feels more like Halloween that way.
