Srow Scare Apr 2026

One October night, a group of teenagers decided to test the legend. They crept into the field to topple one of the Srows. As they reached the center of the cornstalks, the wind died completely. The burlap face of the nearest Srow didn’t have a stitched smile; it had a jagged, open tear where a mouth should be.

When they pushed the figure, it didn't fall. It leaned into the shove. The Srow didn't just stand there; it began to unravel, the swamp moss spilling out like reaching fingers. They ran, but the "Srow scare" wasn't about the jump—it was about the following. For weeks after, each teen found a single strand of grey moss on their pillow every morning, a reminder that something from the field had brought a piece of them back to the burlap. srow scare

The locals in Oakhaven didn’t call them scarecrows. They called them a truncated name born from a decades-old town stutter. One October night, a group of teenagers decided

Old Man Miller was the one who started the tradition. He didn’t use straw to fill the burlap husks in his field; he used the dried, grey moss from the Blackwood swamp.

    Some time ago I had a unity pro license and tried to use Unity’s Success Advisors service but couldn’t find good information about this. Could you share some info about this service?

      Unity’s FAQ’s suggest that you should have received an email from a Success Advisor shortly after purchasing Pro, with details on how to contact them. As for what a Success Advisor can actually do for you, my understanding is that the role, as far as Unity is concerned, is as a point of contact, basically to help you navigate Unity’s services or, possibly, to match you with learning events that you might need. While this might be useful if you don’t know what Unity can offer you, I don’t believe that it’s a technical or developmental support role and it’s likely that your advisor will be there to match you with Unity’s products more than they will be there to help your game succeed. However, I may be wrong, I don’t have direct experience with this service but I’d love to hear from someone who has.

    Thanks John, Great article. How about the Pro’s line item of “Over 300 hours of professional training content available”. Is that a worthwhile benefit of the Pro’s plan?

    Thanks,
    Tim

      Hi Tim, while I haven’t confirmed it, I believe that may be referring to Unity Learn premium, which became free for everyone in 2020 (see this blog post for details). As far as I can tell, there’s no other mention that Unity Pro customers get premium learning resources that other users don’t. Additionally, one of Unity’s biggest benefits is that it’s extremely well supported by community tutorials and resources that are either free or low-cost, at least in comparison to the Unity Pro price tag.

        After getting in touch with Unity, they’ve told me that refers to Unity Learn, which I believe used to be a Pro perk but is now free for everyone.
