Stripping the Scarecrow | comment |
When characters in the great outdoors find themselves in need of different clothing, one solution is to take the clothes from a conveniently placed scarecrow. Naked People Trapped Outside, fugitives on the the run in Institutional Apparel, and victims of Gone Swimming, Clothes Stolen are all likely candidates to use this strategy. In an urban environment, a mannequin can substitute for a scarecrow. Sister trope of Clothesline Stealing. Contrast Outfit Decoy. Examples |

This is how Doctor Syn ("The Scarecrow") came by his disguise/secret identity. A wanted murderer was on the run, and was suspected of stealing clothes from a nearby scarecrow to change his appearance. Syn, wanting to cause a distraction so he could rescue a group of smugglers who had been ambushed by dragoons, assembled a scarecrow costume of his own and lured the dragoons into chasing after him. | |

Goosebumps: The Scarecrow, a short story about three kids who discover a mysterious scarecrow set up in front of an abandoned house has got articles of clothing they all want. Two of the kids take things off the scarecrow, but strange things start happening to them, leaving the third kid scared something will happen to her while trying to fight back the temptation of taking the scarecrow's gloves for herself. It turns out it was all a prank set up by the other two kids, but that doesn't explain why the scarecrow is suddenly smiling at the end. | |

Happened with The Wolf in the Soviet (later also Russian) animated series Nu, Pogodi!, when he was in the village, trying to catch The Hare. Apart from some rugs and a wide-brimmed straw hat scarecrow was dressed in cans, so he also makes loud noise when he's walking in it (especially since he walks into the train, of all places). | |
