Burt and Vicky run over a little kid while driving through the cornfields of rural Nebraska, only to realise that they may not be to blame for his death. Something is watching them out in the corn, and aid is nowhere to be found. Stephen King, the unsurpassed king of horror and the uncanny. Children of the Corn is a horrifying and unforgettable horror film franchise that was first included in the amazing collection Night Shift in 1973 and subsequently converted into a horror film franchise of the same name.
