Scarecrow: The Reaping Confirmed for Halloween Horror Nights 2022 at Universal Studios Hollywood

Scarecrow: The Reaping

This house is based on the house of the same name from Universal Orlando Resort’s HHN 27.

Families have abandoned their farms after the Dust Bowl, leaving only scarecrows (and crows) behind.

Scarecrows are not happy to see us and will attempt to turn any humans in their territory into scarecrows.
