Children of the Corn (1984): Outlander!!!! We have your woman! #35

This week, Richard and Angeles head into the cornfields to confront Children of the Corn (1984)—a Stephen King adaptation that spawned a cult (and like... seven sequels nobody asked for). It’s a tale of rural dread, religious fanaticism, and kids who definitely need a time-out. We break down this campy cult classic scene by scene, taking a look at how it blends apocalyptic zealotry with King’s signature small-town paranoia. From He Who Walks Behind the Rows to Isaac's overacting and Malachai's rage-face, we’re dishing all the juicy kernels of horror goodness. 🌾 In this episode: Full breakdown of Children of the Corn (1984) The horror of religious indoctrination and rural isolation Why creepy kids are still terrifying decades later Stephen King adaptations: hit or miss? Viana’s Review Corner – Her reaction to corn cults and curly-haired chaos Another deliciously twisted spoof ad—straight from the Nebraska tourism board (not really) If you’ve ever been nervous driving past a cornfield, this one’s going to validate that fear. 🎧 Horror Cinema Obsession delivers weekly horror deep dives, sharp humor, and nostalgic bloodshed for horror fans who love a little chaos with their commentary.
