With this year’s crops now planted, it’s time for the mannequin head scarecrows to make another appearance. And once again they are doing what they do best.
Which is standing silently.
As well as staring.
Always staring.
Silent, always staring, Japanese scarecrows
Calissaja says
OK, you can stop now. I haven’t been to bed yet and that’s going to give me nightmares.
Lee says
Wait til you see her brothers and sisters!
AdelaideBen says
Great shot… first one was brilliant (if a little spooky).
Lee says
Cheers Ben. Yeah, that’s my favourite. Black and white really adds to the effect.
Lori says
Looking back at your other scarecrow shots, it’s no wonder to me that Japanese create such unique horror movies. Just look at their inspiration!
Lee says
Yeah, I’ve certainly never seen scarecrows like this anywhere else.
Biggie says
dude, with the right lettering and so the first pic would be horror-flick video cover stuff.
Lee says
I thought exactly the same thing when I was editing it!
tomphile says
Ugh, no wonder the crows aren’t going anywhere near that field.
Lee says
Yeah, no crows, no nothing.
Must admit, when the rice crops grow and this particular areas fills them with these mannequin scarecrows, it’s a pretty odd sight. Can only imagine what it’d be like in the semi-darkness!
NihonBurp says
So this is where the mannequins go who don’t get jobs in clothes shops? either way I will be seeing these guys again when I go to sleep tonight
Lee says
And she’ll be watching you…
Fashimi says
The Japanese have the ability to do both ridiculously cute and horrifyingly creepy. This one is definitely the latter.
Matt says
No matter how many times i see these, they will never stop creeping me out. I also “like” the first shot the most.
winnie says
Great shot, I like Black and white pictures!!
But the eyes look so real that it make my hair stand on its end!!
Lee says
Yes, and they really do seem to stare!
Bernadette says
Really, really creepy. Definitely Children of the Corn kinda stuff.
Lizzy says
Love ’em
