Now Playing listeners, lend us your ear (of corn)!

More than 20 films have been adapted from short stories in Stephen King’s 1978 collection Night Shift, but almost half of those films are based on one tale: &Children of the Corn.& The story tells of a group of crazed religious children who sacrificed all the adults in service of their god–He Who Walks Behind the Rows. Now Arnie, Stuart, and Jakob start to harvest these films with a review of the 1984 original. Was this original film revolutionary, demanding 8 follow-up films? Listen and find out!
