No notes on Children of the Corn 10, but if it takes off, may I suggest you set 11 in a movie theater and call it Children of the Popcorn?
My wife has some foot trouble and would probably watch ‘Children of the Corn: The Plastering’. Also, why has no-one mashed together ‘Fields of Terror’ with ‘Field of Dreams’?
I’d like to see a spin-off film series about the perils of white people appropriating other cultures’ hairstyles while on vacation: “Children of the Cornrows” followed by “Children of the Cornrows 2: The Tightening” and “Children of the Cornrows 3: The Unravelling.”
I’ve never took a dive into the world of Stephen King but it’s surrounded me throughout my life. I knew a few avid readers in high school, one who paid me to draw my interpretation of Pennywise from the description in the “IT” novel. This was BEFORE any film or TV adaptation. We sold first edition Stephen King books at Lone Star Comics which had to be purchased by order only, so I knew who our King fans were from that.
I think the only book I’ve ever read of his was “The Dead Zone” and only because my Mom bought it then recommended it to me. She read “The Shining” too, but I wasn’t really interested in that at the time. I’m more interested in Time Travel novelizations, so when Stephen King’s adaptation of “11-23-63” premiered on Hulu, I binge-watched that. It’s about a teacher who travels back to 1963 so he can alter the assassination of President Kennedy. Okay as a time travel story but just okay, even now I’m struggling to remember it. The one neat thing I took from the story though was that King wrote “Time” as a character in a way. By that I mean that throughout the story, time does fight back against you as you work to alter it. I thought that was interesting.
Truthfully, the second after David said, “Children of the Corn – The New Kids”, I screamed out in my car, “NEW KIDS ON THE STALK!!” just seconds before Ian said it. I think I’ve been listening to too much Sneaky Dragon, but never before going to sleep.
You guys are terrific and your chemistry is perfect, I’ll graciously Thank You again for your podcasts.
Thanks, Ed – I thought Ian was saying ‘New Kids on the Stock’ and couldn’t see what the joke was… I must be slow. Or maybe I’m not listening to enough Sneaky Dragon.
I haven’t been too impressed by Stephen King adaptations in the recent years, but for some reason I gave the Castle Rock series a chance. After sticking it out for a so-so first season, I must say, that the second season is quite promising.
