Scarecrow decided to unmask herself, forfeiting her chance of moving forward because she wanted to see Sir Bugaboo and Snowstorm compete. It turned out that Scarecrow was none other than The Exorcist’s Linda Blair. 

“I love this show so much,” she said upon unmasking. “I came to share how much I love you and what you all have done for the world and family entertainment. But I would like to officially bow out and unmask and let these two incredible competitors go on. These two competitors are the real deal. I just came to bother Ken [Jeong}. I have a really special reason for being here. And I want them to enjoy the stage and all the accolades they so deserve. I’ve enjoyed entertaining you so much through the years.”

But I had to bend over backwards to get the Academy to recognize my work. I’ve turned plenty of heads in my career. I’ve even sung on Broadway. But I’ve traded the shining bright lights of the red carpet for greener pastures, and devoted my time to saving animals. As a matter of fact, I’ve worked with over 100 rescues. But it’s you, panel, that’s going to need rescuing because I’m about to turn in a hair-raising performance. See you in your nightmares, Ken!”
