Watching 1986's Children of the Corn cause it's actually my third all time favourite Stephen King film and it's been a rough couple of nights, I work in childcare with children who come from many backgrounds and face many challenges. So after long hours of dealing with crisis and hard revelations (also sometimes being bullied, nothing bad, some of them have a hard time expressing themselves and aggressive, loud and/or expolivsive might be the only way they know how they could be heard). It's different for every individual case, but it can be very hard. I have a HUGE soft spot for children and it can be emotional and tearing sometimes, so as comfort, strangely enough I love to watch Children of the Corn. I am absolutely devoted to horror and Children of the Corn was always one of the films that freaked me out the most when I first seen it, now I am always looking back at how great it is and so relevant and dare say, realistic in a case? Like not saying that there a corn cult do in my profession we take kids who may deal with traumas, mental disorders, etc. in a prepare them for life basically)
Though I do wanna say one thing
It is a little depressing that the town of Gatlin BIGGEST problem was the fact they couldn't grow corn and not the fact that the weird well dressed kid who was preaching all time about some spirit speaking to him through his dreams, and seems to be a very persuading person.
That's all it takes though to start a cult
