Cuts From The Corn : The Classic Scenes

Welcome to our fourth entry in our Cuts From The Corn : The Classic Scenes Series. This week, we feature another classic scene from the original 1984 movie and as always, if you have any suggestions for a certain scene, feel free to email us at childrenofthecornmovie@yahoo.com for your "classic moment" ideas. Now, if all outlanders are ready, let's join the kids to witness "The Rising of Vicky".

The Rising of Vicky
While Burt went searching the deserted town of Gatlin for help, Vicky stayed alone with Sarah to try and understand what was going on. After a surprise visit from Malachai and the boys, Vicky is taken prisoner out into the clearing and prepared to become the sacrifice of "He Who Walks Behind The Rows". I bet being placed on a cross and being lifted into the air wasn't part of the itinerary when they planned their trip......

Cuts From The Corn : The Classic Scenes

Welcome to our third entry in our Cuts From The Corn : The Classic Scenes Series. Each week will feature a classic scene from the original 1984 movie and if you have any suggestions for a certain scene, feel free to email us at childrenofthecornmovie@yahoo.com for your "classic moment" ideas. Now, let's head over to Hansen's Cafe for some "Good Coffee..."

Good Coffee...
As Job and his father stopped by Hansen's Cafe on that fateful Sunday for a talk with the townsfolk and a strawberry shake, the town teenagers had other plans. While a menacing Isaac looked on, the cafe waitress poured a little something extra (and it wasn't caffeine) into the afternoon coffee pot that began the carnage that was to follow all over the town of Gatlin. Maybe they really should have passed on that second cup.....

Cornfield Visions : The Drawings of Sarah


"That's when Sarah started drawing these pictures...."

With those words, so began Sarah's gift of sight in Stephen King's Children of the Corn. As the drawings depicted things to come (and things that had happened) in the town of Gatlin, Isaac was able to predict the coming of the interlopers. Intended to represent the drawings of a child, in actuality they were beautifully drawn by illustrator Judeanne Winter. Below are many of her different works of art from the opening title scene.

Wanted - The "Children" from Gatlin



The Gatlin adults disappeared, but what happened to the children? Well, we have searched and as it turns out, they are very hard to track down - even in the cornfields of Gatlin! During filming in 1983, many local residents from Sioux City Iowa and the surrounding towns were cast as "extras" to round out the population of the fictional town of Gatlin Nebraska. With this year marking the 25th anniversary of the classic movie, we are trying to get in touch with as many people as possible that had a part or role in making this one of the most memorable films in cinematic horror.
