STORIES HURT. STORIES HEAL. Harold is an urban legend who was popularized from the short story /”Harold/” found in Scary Stories 3: More Tales To Chill Your Bones. Harold was the main monster featured in the marketing for the 2019 movie adaptation, Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark.
But Harold’s story goes back even further, into Alpine folklore of the 15th century. In a mountain pasture behind Göschenen, a village in northern Switzerland, several servants created a man sized doll known as a Toggel or Tunsch. Over time, the legend evolved into the terrifying scarecrow we know today.
There’s no one piece of media I would consider canon for this one, so this episode will be more about the character’s history changing in many forms over the years.

About Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark
It’s 1968 in America. Change is blowing in the wind…but seemingly far removed from the unrest in the cities is the small town of Mill Valley where for generations, the shadow of the Bellows family has loomed large. It is in their mansion on the edge of town that Sarah, a young girl with horrible secrets, turned her tortured life into a series of scary stories, written in a book that has transcended time—stories that have a way of becoming all too real for a group of teenagers who discover Sarah’s terrifying home.
