You all know about the Blue Man and where he ended up. But we never got to see what actually happened that put him on the cross and made him an example. It does seem, however, that his demise was a scene originally meant to be shown in the movie! If not fully filmed, the scene set up was at least photographed for advertising and press. Only a couple variations of this still have been released, one on a couple of rare production stills and a shot of another on the back of the original Embassy Home Entertainment laserdisc. Why this scene was cut of the Blue Man's "Execution" is anyone's guess. But it does make one wonder if there were other scenes that didn't make it into the released version of the film. We were thinking, wouldn't it be cool to see this segment unearthed and maybe reintegrated back into the film? It HAS happened before. Because of the fans, all of Richard Donner's footage he had shot for Superman II was painstakingly found and compiled into the dvd,
Superman II : The Richard Donner Cut. We want to know what you think. So let our voices be heard Children of the Corn fans! After YEARS of asking from us, Varese Sarabande finally released a cd version, although in very limited quantity, of Jonathan Elias' outstanding score to the original 1984 movie. So let's make it happen and see a possible special edition in the future (maybe for a 30th anniversary 2-disc special edition?) including this and any other scenes that were never included. Outlanders, it IS possible. If you feel as strongly about this as we do, please leave a comment below or email us at -
childrenofthecornmovie@yahoo.com and let's show Mr. Kiersch and Anchor Bay Entertainment that Gatlin is still on horror moviegoers road map of destination. Also, if anyone has a great scan of any of the cut "Blue Man" scene variations (or even ones we may not know about), please email them to us as attachments and we will post them right here on ChildrenoftheCornMovie.com!

As the man who played "Blue Man" in the original version of "Children of the Corn" (I got my throat slashed for several takes) I would love to see that scene and other deleted scenes put back into the movie. I was called shorlty after filming ended that my scene was cut for time.
Absolutely! I would love to see this scene and others restored to the film for a 30th anniversary edition! That's awesome with the very first post below being from the Blue Man himself! I would definitely buy a 30th anniversary release with restored cut scenes.
I have always wanted to the scene ever since I was 8 years old and the still was featured in 'Fangoria' magazine. I can only contemplate how scary and unrelenting it is, if it's anything like the cafe scene!
I too would LOVE to see the cut scene!!
