A Special 4th of July Edition of Cuts From The Corn

With the 4th of July weekend coming up, we thought it would be nice to have a Cuts From The Corn special edition and show something in nature to the holiday. And what better scene than the presumed destruction of "He Who Walks Behind The Rows" which we call - Explosion!

After Burt fights off a few ears of corn, Job races to the rescue with a knife in hand. But when the bottle throw doesn't go off exactly as planned, Job rushes to retrieve it and brings it back to Burt for one last (and hopefully successful) pitch. Thankfully for them, it meets the gasohol target and ignites the entire cornfield in a blaze. The last we see of the ol' "Row Walker", he is rising into the sky with a piercing shriek of defeat. You sure can't buy that on the 4th of July!

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".


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......
