In this episode of the show we are continuing our trip through 80s adaptations of Stephen King novels and short stories with a debate about the 1984 Children of the Corn. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about the many ways in which the movie differs from King’s original story, what it leaves out and adds to the narrative and at what cost, and how the concept of stretching a short story into a feature film requires some creative decisions that the filmmakers didn’t quite know how to handle. We also talk about King’s fascination with rural America and how it translates to the screen, the mind-boggling longevity of the franchise this movie spawned, the idea of taking a nap in the middle of an emergency and much more!
