“Fear of the Next Generation” ITF Read & Watch: Children of the Corn (1977 story & 1984 film)

Stephen King’s collection NIGHT SHIFT contains a plethora of adapted stories, including one that would launch a franchise off the success of Fritz Kiersch’s adaptation. In episode 283, Luke & James learn to fear young people, spot some modern religious cult behavior, get an early taste of Halloween, and discuss a different sort of gobbler. They finish out by voting on which was better: the story or the movie!
