Clues for Scarecrow
The first clue slipped by FOX for this masked singer was a "crow." As Scarecrow entered the stage, she brought with her a bunch of other clues. The star claimed that she has "done scariest work." This was indeed a hint for her scary/horror movies. The masked singer added that she has also an "Academy" to get her work recognized. Scarecrow added to have "turned plenty of heads" in her career. The singer also sang on 'Broadway.' Well, another clue dropped was that this masked singer "traded red carpet for green pasture." This hinted toward her using her fame from the industry into doing something good for the cattle.
As Scarecrow shocked everyone with her warm and luscious voice, judges claimed this masked singer to be "too in shape." Connecting Scarecrow's goofy nature on the stage, the panelists claimed the masked singer to be someone who is a legend, knows how to have fun, and does not take things seriously. The further clues brought for this masked singer was "a witch." Scarecrow said, "clue is staring you right in the face." The judges instantly replied, "Witch?" The guesses for this masked singer were Susan Sarandon, Anjelica Houston, Glenn Close, and Parker Posey. However, none of them happened to be right. Scarecrow was unmasked to be 'The Exorcist' actress Linda Blair.
The scariest work clue hinted towards the movie she did in her career, 'Exorcist II: The Heretic,' 'The Exorcist,' 'Repossessed,' 'The Green Fairy,' 'Hell Night,' and many others. Moreover, the witch clue pointed toward her 'Witchery' movies. The golden globe clue was for Linda winning Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress for her 1974 movie 'The Exorcist.' She was also once nominated for the Academy Awards. Linda claims to believe in paranormal activities, therefore, coming to the 'Fright Night' episode was a great connection.
Furthermore, choosing to dress as a Scarecrow had a reason behind it. Linda claims at the end of the show that she "dealt with animals being abused." Linda supports animal welfare, therefore, coming to such a big stage dressed as a Scarecrow was a tribute to her love for animals.
Along with Scarecrow, Sir Bugaboo got eliminated in the 'Fright Night' episode, making Snowstorm go ahead in the semi-finals. 'The Masked Singer' Season 8 Episode 10 will release on November 24 at 8 pm ET on FOX.
