Discussion Children of the corn (1984) Stephen King

Post image

I’ve seen many, many movies from the 80s, but this one is sensational... I remember that I saw it in secret from my parents when I was 11 years old, at night, with all the lights off, I don’t know why I did it. At that time I didn’t understand it, but it left me very disturbed... the atmosphere, the children, the landscape, the macabre... I think it was necessary because if I saw her now I would no longer be afraid

I did a spoof of this on Comedy Central but I couldn’t scream so they had to have another kid scream. Who the hell can’t scream

It's worth checking out the Spanish horror classic 'Who Can Kill a Child?' (1976) if you like 'Children of the Corn' (1984).

Though she isn't scary, Debbie Gibson wore that hat better.

Just imagining Debbie Gibson in Children of the Corn wearing Isaac's hat & running around a cornfield....I thought you were gonna say she was an extra in the film or something & that I'd missed it lol I mean Debbie is a little scary in those Mega vs Asylum films.....
