For my film, I aim for Scrow to be a menacing killer that has a mask representing a scarecrow. The mask in which I intend on making myself is going to display my ideas into the film in a truly horrific manner. The idea of Scrow as a character actually has many inspirations from other classic serial killer films such as "Scream" and "Halloween" as seen here:
“Scream”
“Halloween”
As you can see, the masks worn by these notorious characters have very little to no emotion at all. Although they have a lack of emotion, they successfully give off a truly terrifying and eerie vibe to them. It is clear that this is done by the absence of eyes. You cannot see any sort of fear, happiness, or emotion in the mask. Instead, you are forced to stare into the dark abyss which replaces the eyes of these two characters. It was said that the reason Michale Myers’s (second picture) mask is so scary is because instead of it showing emotion, it is empty and only shows the “embodiment of evil” stated by Tommy Lee Wallace who was the creator of Myers’s look in the original film. He also said that “Wearing a mask takes away his identity which makes him more menacing. He doesn't take any pleasure in it, he just does it with zero care.” *Referring to the character of Michale Myers.* This is exactly what I am trying to accomplish when making the look for Scrow.
