Dark Night of the Scarecrow 2 (2022): Cast & Plot

In a small town in the Deep South, Charles Eliot “Bubba” Ritter, a large but gentle man with a mental disability, forms a steadfast friendship with Marylee Williams, a bond that stirs unease among some locals and draws the ire of the brooding postal worker Otis Hazelrigg. When Marylee is mauled by a vicious dog, Hazelrigg quickly blames Bubba and gathers a lynch mob with Skeeter Norris and Philby and Harliss Hocker. To shield him, Bubba’s mother disguises him as a The Scarecrow and posts him in a nearby field, yet the bloodhounds sniff him out, and the vigilantes gun him down in a brutal moment of crowd-driven justice.
