Night 9: Children of the Corn (1984) – This Corn is Cursed | 13 Nights of Halloween

Tonight we wander into the whispering fields of Nebraska with Children of the Corn—Stephen King’s short story-turned-long movie that features killer kids, confusing theology, and some of the wildest child acting this side of a school play gone wrong.  🎙️ Join Tim, Johnathan and Rook as they battle through 1984’s Children of the Corn, a movie that asks, “What if the real horror… was organized child labor?” Okay, maybe not, but there is a lot of slow-walking and yelling “OUTLANDER!”  We’ll score it using our Average Reviews system—breaking down story, scares, rewatchability, atmosphere, and originality. You can rate along with us using the templates on our Instagram!  🕯️ Highlights:  • Why Isaac is an unsettling mix of demon child and cranky deacon  • Malachai’s reign of red-headed terror  • The wild tonal swings between horror, drama, and accidental comedy  • “He Who Walks Behind the Rows” (a.k.a. the fog machine with bad VFX)  👇 LIKE the episode, COMMENT with your own score, and SUBSCRIBE as we count down to Halloween night!  —  ✨ Be part of the conversation!
