Why Scarecrows?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

It\u2019s simple – scarecrows are extremely easy to recreate. You can turn into a scarecrow in less than 15 minutes, and it won\u2019t cost you a fortune like most Halloween costumes.<\/p>\r\n

“Aside from a cat, which is fairly overplayed at this point, scarecrows are one of the quickest last-minute costumes that women can put together with makeup they already have at home,” says Sara Millecam of Beautiful Brows and Lashes<\/a>.<\/div>\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n

But how did scarecrows become an inspiration for Halloween costumes? Well, scarecrows have been walking hand in hand with Halloween for hundreds of years, and more specifically, the month of October. Harvest festival falls on the 3rd of October this year, and it is traditionally considered the start of the autumn season. But the scarecrow itself goes back thousands of years.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

As long as people have been growing crops, birds have always attempted to destroy and devour whatever food they can find. The Egyptians built nets to scare quails away, Native Americans came up with their own \u201cbird scarers,\u201d which they erected on platforms in their fields, all in the hopes to protect their harvest.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The ancient Greeks had a slightly different approach – they\u2019d carve statues of Gods they thought were ugly, which they firmly believed would scare the birds away. The Japanese had their own version of scarecrows, called \u201cthe Kakashi.\u201d They would place rags and bells on a stick, hoping the horrible sounds would drive away any pests.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The British had another efficient method. They would use real-life scarecrows – children and have them running around the fields, making a racket, which kept animals at bay. Unfortunately, as the great plague hit and reduced the population drastically, these children had to be replaced with stuffed scarecrows instead of actual people.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Shortly after, the scarecrows found their way to the US and, in the 20th century, made their way into pop culture. You probably know of the famous comic book Scarecrow – one of the more underestimated Batman villains who made his debut in 1941. It was quickly forgotten, and it wasn\u2019t until 20 years later that it showed up again. As Scarecrow made its way into DC comics, it eventually appeared in the first Nolan Batman movie.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Another famous scarecrow is Jack Pumpkinhead. You know him from the Wizard of Oz original books where he has a large Jack-o-lantern head, and his body is made of twigs and wooden pegs.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Since then, many creepy scarecrows have made their way into film culture. Slasher films like Dark Harvest (2004), The Scarecrow (2013), and Husk (2011) might be an exciting choice for a terrifying Halloween movie night.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Nowadays, it\u2019s natural for us to associate scarecrows with Halloween, but who would have guessed they have been around for so long! Now that you\u2019re well-acquainted with their history, it\u2019s time to get into some full-on makeup extravaganza!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
