The REAL Children of the Corn?

#stephenking #horrorstories
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.

[@alicenolfi2095]

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.

[@Jerusalem_777]

Very well done! You brought in the very essence of what the Corn series failed at: isolation.

[@DSnake655]

These get better and better. Love the true crime thing.

[@stephenkingbookclub1054]

Thanks... as you can probably tell, I love making them!

[@johnmartinez631]

@@stephenkingbookclub1054yeah the true crime style adds to the stories

[@Donathon-qx8kq]

Yeah, the fact that the children 'age out ' gives it a touch of Logan's Run....a society that is kept forever young..... just my opinion

[@DSnake655]

@@Donathon-qx8kq Yes! Never thought of it.

[@Wglass90]

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.

[@higurashianduminekoconnect1702]

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

[@parisgreen4600]

Holy cow, this is stellar! What a terrific interpretation of King's work. Your visuals are getting more and more seamless, and I love the voice actors you got for the relatives.

[@jameskerr8091]

Wow! That was scarier then the Children of the Corn movie that I saw years ago.

[@daniellewillis2767]

Seconded!

[@tonietteh2015]

I agree! The shock animation made me jump and my whole body clench 😮

[@KS-PNW]

This is the BEST adaptation of the story IMHO. Captures the feeling of reading it better than any of the movies.

[@fireorb2]

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.

[@truefanforum3273]

Which movie, because there have been several. I swear studios milked that story for everything it was worth and then some.

[@jasonspence4749]

jesus christ this was awesome , you good sir have a talent and gift for doing these amazing videos .. this one was definitely scary and you have brought back my fear of ever going into corn fields … please keep these coming .. for your next project you should do The TommyKnockers …

[@mauricefuqua1947]

I agree

[@maryhoyt2609]

Awesome job! I love the pictures that go with these stories! That was a great one of the "He Who Walks Behind The Rows"! Very scary looking. Great job as usual, thank you for posting!

[@tinaurbina-ks8cl]

Road trippers beware of small towns, I,ve heard of frightening stories of deadly cults since I was a tween ager. So, I know about these kind of things at a very early age thanks 2 my dad.😱

[@TrioneJohnson]

I was driving from Augusta to Memphis and decided to bypass the i-40 traffic by taking the back roads. I drove 20 miles with no street lights and saw a gas station. Stopped at the gas station, filled up, and immediately got back on the highway....those backroads are no joke....YIKES

[@Amy-tg8sp]

Appreciate the Full Dark No Stars reference. This is so well done and gradually builds to the jump scare. It really scared me. Nice work!

Other than showing what I assume was He Who Walks Behind The Rows (it should have been kept a mystery), this was a pretty disturbing one. Loved it.

That jump scare made me shout an expletive and almost throw a drink in my own face. Well done.

Wow.. The pics on that camera.. I'm really at a loss for any kind of words that could help me compose a comment containing any form of sustenance to it.. Creepy and absolutely terrifying..esp to have been the person(s) that ends up finding it =\

[@timorthelame1]

This doesn't seem real to me. Do you have any source material to back this all up. I'm not saying it's untrue; I just find it really hard to believe, especially the photos.

[@stephenkingbookclub1054]

You have a good eye. It's not really real... It's inspired by the Stephen King story, incorporating many of the events mentioned in "Children of the Corn," and delivered in a documentary (or mockumentary style). Most of the images were generated by Midjourney AI.

[@ladyjaysindeore1113]

I really enjoy your videos that are like this (or of a similar vein)!

[@stephenkingbookclub1054]

I'm so glad!

[@seanthefilmslayer5921]

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]

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”.

[@TLovly77]

I grew up watching and reading scary stories so it’s been a long time since anything has been truly scary but this was really scary., it had me clutching my invisible pearls. Great job 👏.. I just discovered this channel and I’ve tuned in daily❤

[@datsweetsansabooty]

This was an awesome video so glad I’ve found your channel. I take it, this is an excerpt from the book?

[@stephenkingbookclub1054]

I'd say this video is more like a blending of fan fiction and summary details from the book :) In some of our videos, we try to explore: What would happen after the story? And what would people, outside of the story's events, think about what happened to their missing loved ones?

I have so many questions Who did the corporation buy the land from? I don't think the corn cult has the ability not the will to enter into commercial transactions. Why did the corn cult abandon their home base, and where did they move to? Did the children disband or did they all die out? Are there any resolution or updates after the pictures are published?

[@jupiterrising887]

I don't know, it seems like the narrator is making some huge leaps of logic to tell this story he wants to tell. Obviously there was some kind of disappearance, but implying there were killer kids or monsters is a painfully forced theory for KZbin views.

It's a story written by Stephen King. It's fiction. He's a very well known horror and thriller writer. You should do some research or think about what you're watching. This is just a creative retelling of Kings work. Made in podcast format for people to enjoy. Examples of Stephen Kings work include but are not limited to: Carrie, The Shining, It, Pet Semetary, Children of the Corn. Etc etc.
