    Welcome back, Constant Reader... and thank you to all who have been supporting this channel by subscribing!
    Tonight, we will be entering the cornfields of Gatlin, Nebraska as we examine the "The Children of the Corn" -- the horror story written by Stephen King in the 1970s. But was it based on true events? (It wasn't... but let's pretend it was!)
    What happened to Burt and Vicky Robeson? King's story tells us most of their tale... But we wondered how the family of this lost married couple felt...
    And that led us to the discovery of some recently unearthed photos... Photographs that might prove the existence of a strange and deadly cult known as the Children of the Corn... who follow He Who Walks Behind the Rows.

    I actually love the idea of a cult member taking Alice's camera and snapping pictures. Whatever else they are, they are still children. And when children see a shiny new toy, their first impulse is to play with it.

      I think because it's the idea of a person discovering something like an apocalyptic log, what happened to the person, that and the fact that children being killers is unnerving.

    This is creative and more scarier than most of the Children of the Corn films combined, and it's actually amazing how realistic those pictures look. Just goes to show how far technology and A.I. has come. With that said, next to IT and The Stand, Children of the Corn is the one Stephen King story I wouldn't want to be true as real life cults are terrifying enough.

      That's because it doesn't feel like children of the corn it just feels like a more real life disappearance than anything else Children of the Corn never really is made to be scary in my opinion

    As much as I love the short story and like the original film (and a couple of the sequels as so-bad-there-good films), I would love to see a video trying to explain how this would even be possible. It seems impossible that even in the 70's that a cult a kids that killed their parents would go unnoticed. Did non of these people have family or friends outside of Gatlin? Wouldn't the government notice a whole town of adults stopped paying taxes? Or did the kids just keep killing all the adults that showed up, and somehow go unnoticed for decades?

    • @zedorian6547
      @zedorian6547 Před 27 dny +3

      Perhaps “He Who Walks Behind the Rows” is exerting a force that makes it to where the events of the town are not considered important enough to really take notice. Similarly to how Pennywise makes it so that the events that take place in Derry are more or less ignored by everyone who doesnt have some sort of special protection or “Shine”.

      I am really enjoying the content. Brilliant little things like Peter Goldsmith explaining the events of "The Stand", including how the people of Project Blue died so quickly and Charles Campion being Patient Zero, as well as if Stu hadn't turned off the pumps. I have read the uncut "The Stand" countless times and I finally got an answer!! Plus the eeriness of photographs of people and places from the "uncanny valley" ( they're right, but something is off) in all the videos, your meticulous attention to the tiny details is noticed and appreciated..riveting. A gem and the most enjoyable binge-watch I ever had.
