In the late 70's early 80's this movie was about a guy who saved a girl who was attacked by a dog and the town thought he did it to her. He hid in a scarecrow and they murdered him. He came back and killed everyone who was involved. Any help please

Try Dark Night of the Scarecrow (Dark Night of the Scarecrow (TV Movie 1981) - IMDb ).
