Get a Revealing Look at CUJO in Lee Gambin’s Comprehensive Tome NOPE, NOTHING WRONG HERE: THE MAKING OF CUJO

Acclaimed film historian and author Lee Gambin will have you cowering in your Ford Pinto curled up with his monumental tome Nope, Nothing Wrong Here: The Making of CUJO, an exhaustive guide to Lewis Teague's 1983 big screen adaptation of Stephen King's bestselling novel CUJO. The book is a meticulously-researched, lovingly-assembled collection featuring thirty exclusive candid interviews and over two hundred never-before-seen production stills.

The author traces the film’s production from troubled start (the firing of original director Peter Medak and replacement by Teague) through the film’s legacy today as one of the most successful and well-regarded onscreen visions of King’s work. Gambin’s academic approach and reverence for the topic makes it essential reading for discerning fans, academics, and cinema history enthusiasts who will revel in his astute scene-by-scene analysis and in-depth behind-the-scenes coverage.

Stuntman Gary Morgan

Gambin, whose career involves insightful writing on nature-gone-amok genre films and is particularly drawn to canines in cinema, describes Cujo as, “a biting critique on the breakdown of the American family, an electric take on the ‘woman in the storm’ story trope, a personal and introspective ecologically themed horror film (a sub-genre usually socially and politically motivated) and a perfectly realized example of the power of circumstance. It also thoroughly scrutinizes fear - both real and imagined - in a sharp and magnetic manner.” Gambin provides a platform for the talented artists involved in Cujo's creation to disclose intimate details about their time on set including stars Dee Wallace, Daniel Hugh Kelly and Danny Pintauro, director Lewis Teague, composer Charles Bernstein, as well as Gary Morgan, the stuntman who periodically filled in for the dogs playing Cujo in a custom-made Saint Bernard suit.

Animal Trainer Karl Lewis Miller and "Daddy"

Additional voices from the set are represented such as Danny Pintauro’s parents along with highly deserving and loving insight about the late great animal trainer Karl Lewis Miller from his daughter Teresa Ann Miller; these unique entries that show the breadth of Gambin’s scope in covering the film.

Nope, Nothing Wrong Here: The Making of Cujo is the ultimate “making of” collection and the perfect tribute to a modern classic - a pure celebration of eighties horror, Stephen King, canines in film, powerhouse performances from women and much more. Absolutely everything you wanted to know about Cujo is here on display in all its vicious, frothing glory.

Children of the Corn Filmed in Siouxland

Great news report by Siouxland's KCAU Channel 9 about the 1983 Iowa filming of Children of the Corn. Originally broadcast on October 31st, 2016.

Looking For Children Of The Corn Home Decor? HorrorDecor.net Has You Covered!

As true horror fans, we all know how hard it can be to find available merchandise featuring our favorite films. Especially Children of the Corn related items. And finding the right high quality horror themed décor for our own homes can be equally as frustrating. Well, look no further because HorrorDecor.net has just what you're looking for!



Offering a wide selection of handmade horror-themed products such as pillows, pot holders, placemats, candles, and many other household items, HorrorDecor.net has enough home interior goodies to satisfy the horror fan in all of us. From Night of the Living Dead to The Shining and Christine, they have made sure the horror genre has been well represented. Of course, here in the cornfield, our favorites are the Children of the Corn items and HorrorDecor.net was gracious enough to send us some for review. So first up Outlanders, the Gatlin pillow -

Available in small and large size versions, the Gatlin pillow design makes you feel as if you are driving right along with Burt and Vicky as they head into the "Nicest Little Town In Nebraska" looking for help. The professional quality is amazing and would be a great addition to any living room or bedroom furnishings or "corn-themed" decorating ideas.

The back of the pillow is produced in a stunning green and really adds a "cornfield" feel to the overall design and style of the entire product which could be used in front/back combination with a second. Whether you decide on going with a small, large, or a mixed variety, "He Who Walks Behind the Rows" will certainly be well pleased!

The Gift of Sight pillow has the same great craftsmanship as the Gatlin pillow with the front depicting a vision from Sarah's drawings in the film, reproduced authentically by Autumn K. Available in an approximate 12" x 15" size, this would be an excellent one-of-a-kind item to own, or purchase, for any Children of the Corn fan.

The opposite side of the Gift of Sight pillow is an all black color which makes for a great reverse option or whichever you choose. And for those that like to decorate outside of the house as well, HorrorDecor.net keeps the Children of the Corn products coming as they have added another item to their newest line of Horror Flags to show our love of the genre all year long!

We at ChildrenoftheCornMovie.com would like to say a big "Thanks" to Matt for sending the items for review and if you would like to purchase your very own Children of the Corn décor, head on over to HorrorDecor.net and "Make Every Day A Living Nightmare"!

Happy Halloween From The Cornfield!

Happy Halloween Outlanders! I hope everyone had a great time on the one night of the year when we can be anyone, or any "Thing", that we want to be! Sorry for the late posting but things have been very busy in the cornfields this past week. Well, for this season of shocks and scares, did everyone dress up as their favorite horror icon? Who did you pick? Was it Crystal Lake's most popular camper Jason Vorhees, Springwood's nightmarish Elm Street resident Freddy Krueger, or was it a cornfield favorite from the nicest little town in Nebraska? As you know, we would choose the latter as the people of Gatlin hold a special place in our hearts. So when some of the most fantastic Children of the Corn-inspired photos we had ever seen came to us recently, we just had to post them for the corn fans to see!

Featuring the very talented photography work of Meg who goes by the photography name of Harpyimages, the photos feature her daughter Mercy in a very creepy portrayal as Isaac, religious leader of the children of Gatlin. In her authentic-looking outfit and weapon, one can imagine Mercy herself looking in through the café window in the

opening scene or emerging from the corn at the end of the film to let Malachai know that "He Wants You Too". It's obvious that not only is Mercy a natural and professional when it comes to posing, but that a lot of thought and planning went into the theme and costume ideas for this series of Children of the Corn photos. We really feel that Meg's outstanding photography style brings out the mood and feelings of the 1984 movie and it seems evident that both her and her daughter are also a part of the film's loyal fan base. With this being the 30 year anniversary, these pictures couldn't have come at a better time to celebrate not only the effect that Fritz Kiersch's superbly directed film has had on the horror community and pop culture, but the huge population of world-wide fans that love the original "That Started It All".

We at ChildrenoftheCornMovie.com would like to end this entry by sending out a huge "Thank You" to Meg and Mercy for giving us their permission to post these awesome photos that we thoroughly enjoyed to see. By the way, if you liked these as much as we did, stay tuned for a very special part 2 of "Happy Halloween From The Cornfield!" coming soon as we will be posting even more of Mercy and Harpyimages' Children of the Corn-inspired photos that we are sure that even He Who Walks Behind The Rows would definitely be proud of!

Remember Outlanders, just because the 2014 Halloween season has now came to a close for the year, doesn't mean our love for our favorite scary movies, their characters and all-night horror movie marathons has to.

Just Another Day In Gatlin.... Our Interview with Rich Kleinberg

Malachai and Isaac. Those names always "crop" up anytime someone mentions Children of the Corn. But there was another character as equally essential to the story who's "live" footage so to say, was trimmed from the final theatrical version. Once having almost stopped the entity know only as He Who Walks Behind The Rows, Officer Hodgekiss, a.k.a. The Blue Man, met an untimely demise that was to serve as an example for anyone who defied the ruling of Isaac. But what exactly happened to The Blue Man? As it goes in editing, it seems that footage involving a revealing scene was cut but promotional stills were used for various advertising materials and media outlets. Recently, we had the opportunity to talk with Rich Kleinberg who played the very much alive version (for a while anyways) of the iconic blue figure to discuss train stations, body doubles and petitions.

COTCM - By 1984, a brand new generation of horror films had been introduced and the name Stephen King was increasingly becoming a hot commodity with directors and producers in Hollywood. As it was announced that a big screen production called Children of the Corn would soon be taking place in and around your hometown, what was the reason you became involved? Were you a fan of the horror genre or was it the "acting bug" that drew your attention?

RK - I was very involved in Community Theatre at the time and the casting department contacted the theatre for a casting call. Of course we all jumped at the chance to perhaps be a part of it.

COTCM - Just as the major character roles of Burt, Vicky, Isaac and Malachai had to be filled, a casting call for Iowa locals to play the "Gatlin" citizens was sent out as well. For the part of The Blue Man, was there an auditioning process you had to go through and how long was it before you were notified that you had the job?

RK - I remember after getting our photos taken we read a few lines from the scipt. But basically since we were being cast as "Extras" they wanted facial expressions, etc.. I recall having to act as if I were choking and gasping for air.

COTCM -Later on in the film, we see Burt, played by Peter Horton, searching the police station for clues to what has happened in the quiet little town of Gatlin. The actual area selected for Burt's scene was at a train depot station in Sioux City. Was this in the same location that you shot your footage as well?

RK - Yes, both scenes were shot in the deserted train depot in Sioux City. The Blue Man scene was set in an upstairs office and was dressed to look like a small town Police Station.

COTCM - Production stories are always interesting as it gives an insider's look at what goes on behind the camera, not to mention bloopers and other moments that makes being involved on a movie unforgettable. What do you remember about your time on the set and filming your scene? Were there many takes?

RK - What I remember is rushing to get in costume (having to shave my nose hairs for the close-up) then the make-up. It took a couple hours for the make-up artist to do my prosthetic for the slash on my throat. It had to look like a corn knife had slashed my throat wide open. We did, I think, 5 or 6 takes of the scene.

COTCM - In the movie, Job (Robby Kiger) tells Burt that when the cafe massacre happened, he ran to get Officer Hodgekiss, a.k.a. the Blue Man, who had gotten away - that time. After a meeting with the minister, he attempted to burn the cornfield and was stopped unfortunately, by Malachai. If we take both Job's story and the deleted scene into account, it would seem that Officer Hodgekiss wasn't completely taken out by the children at the police station. Was there any hint to you by the filmmakers, the script or otherwise, to indicate that your character had actually escaped his untimely fate, only to eventually be done in later by Isaac's right-hand man?

RK - No, it was my impression that I died with the throat cutting. After getting the cut, I had to slide down the counter and fall to the floor. So I assumed I was dead.

COTCM - For one reason or another, various scenes in a motion picture are always trimmed down or eliminated all together for content, screen time and length. When did you find out that the footage you had shot would not be in the finished version of the movie? It must have been disappointing!

RK - I recieved a call from, I think his name was Fritz? - that my scene was cut from the movie unfortunately for time. I was very disappointed (Booo, there went my moment of fame).

COTCM - Certain movie roles sometimes call for a double to provide as a fill-in for the actor. Depending on the situation, it could be anyone from a stuntman to a stand-in due to the arrangement of the shooting schedule. Most generally though, that double is usually a living person! As your performance of the Blue Man didn't make it onto the screen, another version of the character did. Was it strange seeing yourself as a crucified skeleton and what did you think of his portrayal?

RK - Yes, I always told people that I had to lose a lot of weight for my starring role.

COTCM - Although your part was ultimately cut from the opening sequence, the legend of The Blue Man actually carries on throughout the rest of the movie and even delivers the final clue to tell our heroes how to destroy "He Who Walks Behind The Rows." Did you know from the beginning that your character would play such a major role in the storyline as the continued events of the film took place?

RK - I had no idea that I was such an important part of the film. I assumed I was just another of the murdered townspeople.

COTCM - Even though it was not included in the completed 1984 print, the unused frames did not go unnoticed. What did you think when photographic stills of your scene were actually released and being used to promote the film?

RK - After seeing the photo in a horror magazine, I was really surprised when my scene was cut from the film.

COTCM - You weren't the only member of your family brought in to portray a citizen of a town overtaken as another Kleinberg was accepted into the world of the Children of the Corn. It must have been a fun time for you AND your daughter Jodie to both be performing in a major motion picture!

RK - Even though my daughter Jodie and a lot of our friends were in the movie, my scene was shot at a different time and location, so I really never got a chance to share the spotlight with any of them. I had to laugh in the mornings before my daughter would leave for shooting, she would take hours to fix her hair just right and put on make-up etc. I told her she would have a better chance at "screen" time if she didn't look so good.

COTCM - Over the years, many fans have expressed an ongoing interest in the lost "Blue Man" segment and it has even become the focus of a post entitled - The "Cut Scene" Petition, right here on our site. How do you feel about all of the support to hopefully finally see your footage in its entirety?

RK - I think it's great that there is a movement to perhaps have a 30th Anniversary Edition of Children of the Corn, restoring the "cut scenes" back into the movie.

COTCM - On a movie set, props and costumes are widely used to make the story believable and bring it to life for the audience. Rich, it is our duty as Children of the Corn fans to ask this question - Were you able to keep the blue uniform?

RK - No, the only thing I was able to walk away with was the prosthetic made of wax on my throat.

COTCM - Almost 27 years have past, but The Blue Man (Yes, The Blue Man!) is still remembered and has remained just as iconic as the characters of Isaac and Malachai. Looking back, what are your thoughts on the experience and what would you like to see possibly happen for the upcoming 30th anniversary?

RK - Wow, 27 years, it dosen't seem possible. I'm really pleased that the Blue Man is still remembered and that the film has become somewhat of a cult classic. When doing the film, and never having read the Stephen King short story, I had no idea my small part had such an infuence on the storyline. I think it would be great to have a screening of the 30th Anniversary edition right here in Sioux City and have to as many local "actors" who were in the film return for the occasion.

COTCM - Rich, thank you so much for sharing with us your memories about your time in everyone's favorite town of Gatlin. Any final words to the fans?

RK - I really had a great time with my "Children of the Corn" experience. Incidentally, I was in Wal-Mart last week and they had a new DVD of "Children of the Corn". I should maybe go back and buy it. Maybe it has deleted scenes in it's special features. In any case, I look forward to perhaps seeing it one day in it's full restored version. Keep me informed of any premieres, etc.. Until then, may the Blue Man protect you. - Rich
