Now Available : The Children of the Corn 25th Anniversary Portrait Series by Frizzell

Now Available at CoreyFrizzell.com in association
with ChildrenoftheCornMovie.com

For 25 years, audiences have traveled again and again to a small town in Nebraska to be terrified by the Children of the Corn. Now, Portrait Artist Corey Frizzell has painstakingly created original works of art based on certain characters and scenes from the movie. But Corey is no stranger to the town of Gatlin. As production started in 1983, Corey worked as a stand-in actor for Robby Kiger who played Job and also was cast as one of the "Children".

To celebrate the anniversary, Corey will be creating portraits of memorable scenes and characters all year long. Be sure to check back regularly to see if one of your favorite scenes or characters has been captured and reproduced by Corey as a work of art.

Children of the Corn : The 25th Anniversary Portrait Series
by Frizzell -
An original Child of the Corn...
"That's when Frizzell started drawing these pictures......"

Home Sweet Home......

All you "Outlanders" know the story... Looking for help (and with an unmoving Joseph in the trunk), Burt Stanton and Vicky Baxter drive about the town of Gatlin looking for help. Almost giving up, they pass a huge two story house and see the front door move and slam shut. Curious, Burt stops the car to take a look. With an unsupportive Vicky in tow, Burt tours the now vacant home in search of people. Upstairs, they find Sarah who used to live there with her brother Job. As the movie was filmed in select towns in Iowa, the exterior house scenes were filmed in Hornick IA while the interior shots were filmed in a totally different house in Sioux City. But in one scene, it seems that we get both houses for the price of one, so to speak. If you have a sharp eye, watch when Vicky is talking to Sarah and Burt goes to look out the window. Right behind him is a portrait of the house in Hornick that is supposed to be the house they are in. But actually, they are in the house in Sioux City. I guess a person really can't be in two places at once. Or can they.......

Cuts From The Corn : The Classic Scenes

Welcome to our second entry of Cuts From The Corn : The Classic Scenes Series. As you may remember, each week will feature a classic scene from the original 1984 movie. If you have any suggestions for a certain scene, feel free to email us at childrenofthecornmovie@yahoo.com for your thoughts on a classic moment. Now, let's take a trip into the cornfields of Gatlin with "Stick a Needle In Your Eye..."


When Joseph "Couldn't take it anymore..", he told Job (Robby Kiger) and Sarah (AnneMarie McEvoy) he was running away. As they had a secret meeting in one of the old buildings to discuss the plan, Joseph (Jonas Marlowe) told Job and Sarah to mind Isaac until he came back or "You know what happens...". Joseph also made them promise not to tell anyone he was gone with "Cross your heart, Hope to die, Stick a needle in your eye..." or else they would burn on the lake of fire for all eternity.

25 Years Ago : Opening Night In Sioux City

Twenty-five years ago, Siouxland residents flocked to the Orpheum Theater in Sioux City IA to see, well themselves! As the Sioux City Journal covered the event back in 1984, many of the extras that played a part in making the fictional town of Gatlin Nebraska a name on the map of cinematic horror came to see their hometowns in Iowa on the big screen! Special invitations were given for an advance showing to those who had a part as an extra, were community council members, or a member of the media.

A special thanks goes out to our good friend Corey Frizzell who made this great article available to us. And be sure to check out The Sioux City Orpheum Theater website at www.orpheumlive.com for it's great history and upcoming shows and attractions!
