On this day in Horror History, Children of the Corn made its theatrical debut. One of the many classic film adaptations of Stephen King’s works, the ’84 release depicting the cult of Nebraskan children and their slaughter of everyone over the age of 18, has become a quintessential motion picture utilizing children as antagonists in horror. In the vein of genre classics with similar elements, Children of the Corn has resonated with audiences throughout several non-successful sequels and nearly two decades, forever a reminder of the terror that lies within the innocence of a child.
“Don't just stand there! Seize him! Punish him! The Lord has chosen me as the bringer of His word and the giver of His laws! Disobedience to me is disobedience to Him! Do it now, or your punishment shall be a thousand deaths, each more horrible than the last!” –Isaac
