If your car breaks down on a dark, deserted road and the only option for help is through a dark and scary forest ... I suggest waiting in your car. Especially if there is an equally creepy scarecrow in that creepy dark forest.

Anything that is dark, creepy, and takes one look to scare you so badly you crap your pants is best left alone. 

If it makes you want to run the other direction, honor that instinct. Honor the fuck out of it. Run and live.
