Sure, Let's Go with That | |
| The Scarecrow Walks at Midnight / int_1086f287 | comment |
Sure, Let's Go with That: When Jodie cracks and finally tells her grandparents about the random scarecrow occurrences around the farm, she talks about it as if Sticks was doing these as pranks, which is what she believed at the time. Her grandparents, (whom really know that Stanley actually brought them to life), go along with this notion to appease her. | |

Look Behind You | |
| The Scarecrow Walks at Midnight / int_112f8ee1 | comment |
Look Behind You: Sticks tells Mark that there's something on his back, and told him to turn around. Mark does so, and Sticks takes the opportunity to slip a worm down his back, causing Mark to run screaming all the way back to the farmhouse. | |

I Was Quite a Looker: In the present day, Grandpa Kurt has a very lined face. But according to his wife, back in his youth, he was handsome "like a movie star", and Jodie can see traces of that when looking into his sparkling blue eyes | |

Chekhov's Gun: While looking around the barn, Jodie briefly sees a pile of bare torches on the grassy floor. These are what Sticks later use to get rid of the scarecrows. | |

Repeat After Me | |
| The Scarecrow Walks at Midnight / int_2d1c28b4 | comment |
Repeat After Me: As part of a Chekhov's Gag and Plot Allergy, Jodie was sneezing throughout the trip because she was allergic to much material around the farm. And when she, her family, Sticks, and Stanley were getting surrounded by scarecrows that were about to kill them, Jodie sneezes when one brushes its' straw hand at her. The sneeze startles Mark, who jumps backward in shock. To their astonishment, the rest of the scarecrows copy him. Because he was dressed as a scarecrow, the living ones mistake Mark as their leader and copy his movements for a bit. But when Mark eventually pulls off his scarecrow head, the other scarecrows do the same, but this is when the ruse breaks and they stop copying his movements. Fortunately, by this time, Sticks had come with the torches to burn the scarecrows. | |

| The Scarecrow Walks at Midnight / int_39d750cb | comment |
Hand Rubbing: After their first night's sleep at their grandparents' place, Jodie and Mark are at the kitchen table eagerly awaiting Grandma Miriam's delicious chocolate chip pancakes, and they do this trope to indicate their excitement. Jodie even compares it to them doing it "like cartoon characters do." But they are massively disappointed when Miriam doesn't give them pancakes, but bowls of cornflakes instead. | |

Change the Uncomfortable Subject: On their first lunch whilst Jodie and Mark are visiting, Grandma Miriam brings up how Stanley would want to show the children the scarecrows. Grandpa Kurt then clears his throat and asks Mark if he's still taking guitar lessons. Jodie clearly has the feeling that he's doing this trope. Also, when walking to the farm pond for fishing, Stanley keeps going on and on about superstitions from the book he's reading. Mark chimes in to discuss more about it with him. But Jodie invokes this trope by saying that she can hear the creek. | |

Intimidation Demonstration: Essentially what the villain of the book is revealed to have done. He demonstrated his magic by animating the titular walking scarecrows and only put them back to sleep if his employers agreed to do what he wants. | |

Out-of-Character Alert: Because Grandpa Kurt has stopped telling his scary stories at night and Grandma Miriam has stopped making her pancakes, both of which Jodie and Mark remember and are very fond of, they each immediately realize that something is wrong. That's because Stanley has blackmailed them to stop doing those activities. | |

I Need to Go Iron My Dog: Mild versions. When Jodie and Mark ask Grandpa Kurt for a scary story, he claims he can't tell scary stories because he doesn't really know any, or has just run out. The real reason, of course, is that Stanley doesn't like them and Grandpa Kurt is trying to keep him happy. | |

Bears Are Bad News: One of the items in the farmhouse is a large taxidermied grizzly bear, which Grandpa Kurt says was a killer, having mauled two hunters before he shot it. In the last scene, it comes back to life and approaches Jodie menacingly, indicating that Stanley had animated it for some reason. | |

Scarecrow Solution: Late in the book, Jodie gets Mark to dress up as a scarecrow in order to scare Sticks, whom they believe has been pulling the same prank on them repeatedly. It backfires, because Stanley sees Mark in his costume and thinks he's one of the twelve real scarecrows, whom he promptly brings back to life so he can properly de-animate them this time. | |

Hope Spot: When Stanley sees a scarecrow lying on the ground, he is convinced that they are alive (which they actually were), and brings out the book of superstitions to cast a spell, but Sticks convinces him that everything is fine and he should put the book away. Just as Stanley is relieved and does so, Mark shows up in his scarecrow costume, which makes Stanley run away in fear and cast a spell which attracts the rest of the scarecrows toward them. | |

Going in Circles: Invoked by Stanley. As he's bringing Jodie and Mark to the creek, he takes a shortcut with them that involves circling around the barn, and Jodie tells him that they're actually going around in circles. Stanley replies that they have to do that in order to bring them good luck for their fishing, which was part of his superstition. Jodie tries to tell him that he's being silly, but stops herself, as he seemed so serious about it. Besides, she and Mark needed the exercise. | |

Scary Scarecrows: Jodie and Mark's grandparents used to have one normal scarecrow, but when they arrive, they find it's been replaced with twelve creepy-looking ones that are eventually revealed to have been animated by magic... and the de-animation spell didn't put them all back to sleep like it was supposed to. | |

Exact Words: A dark example. After the scarecrows that he had brought to life had been destroyed, Stanley says that he will never bring any scarecrows to life again, and he won't even read the part about scarecrows in the spellbook. But the next day, Jodie sees Stanley reading from the spellbook, murmuring to himself. She then notices the stuffed bear in the living room suddenly animate itself, and she realizes with horror that Stanley is reading aloud a spell from the book, just not the one involving scarecrows. | |
