The Masked Singer’s “Fright Night” saw a scream queen unmasked! The spooky festivities saw some creepy performances, including one by Scarecrow. The pumpkin-headed performer faced off against Snowstorm and Sir Bug a Boo, and was sadly unable to triumph. Scroll through to learn was horror movie legend was under the Scarecrow mask (if you weren’t already watching via FuboTV or another live service). Spoilers ahead! 

When the Scarecrow’s time was up, she took off her mask and showed the crowd that she was actually Linda Blair. Blair is a horror movie icon thanks to her role as Regan MacNeil in The Exorcist and Exorcist II: The Heretic. She’s a Golden Globe winner and a devout animal rights activist, which were both details that were hinted at in the Scarecrow clue package.
