This 18-minute behind the scenes documentary provides a pretty enjoyable and energetic glimpse into the making of the low-budget indie horror romp "Scarecrow." Director/co-writer Emmanuel Itier talks about how he grew up watching Troma movies and reveals that such directors as Dario Argento, Tobe Hooper, George Romero, and John Carpenter were huge influences on him. The luscious Tiffany Shepis discusses how she started out acting in films for Troma and openly admits that she loves B-horror flicks. Tim Young points out that his character of Lester is a persecuted loner who's been a victim all of his life. Moreover, we also learn that all the special effects were done practically, Todd Rex both played and designed the scarecrow, and the whole movie was shot in just eight days. In addition, Itier in particular comes across as a really funny and lively guy who describes himself as "a complete lunatic wired by his own madness." Worth a watch for fans of the film.
