Ok so I was with my dad and stepmom yesterday and they were talking about something or should I say whispering. Then my sister asked them what they were talking about...(apparently Children of the Corn) But they said they werent going to talk about it anymore and it was not appropriate.

Is this like a super scary movie or something? My sister is 12 ... im 22 so I dont know why they were so secretive.

Well Children of the Corn is a movie based off a short story by Stephen King. I haven't watched it in a few years but it is a pretty creepy movie.
In a nut shell it is about a crazy little town where the chidren of a cult like sec kill all the adults.
Heres a link to the trailer if you want to check it out.

I really don't think it's that scary at all honestly...I like it...just not scary.

Maybe they are thinking back to when it first came out and movies like that really scared *them*.

Now is it appropriate for a 12 year old? Hmmm. I'm no judge since I was watching all kinds of stuff like that at 12.

When I was 12, it scared the <deleted> outta me. "He wants you, too, Malachi!" Oh my gosh, I had nightmares about that. And on a deeper level, the mindless devotion and cultish enthusiasm these kids had was truly frightening. But it didn't warp me or leave me wanting to kill all the adults in my town, either. Just a parental judgement call on the propriety of the 12 year old watching it, I guess.

Whoo! There are Children of the Corn part 1 thru 7, I think... I've only seen part 1 and 2, but never seen 3 thru 7.

So tell me, from part 3 - 7, are they any good at all or what?

I think it is extremely scary for a 12 year old. If your 22-you can handle it. It stars Linda Hamilton and Peter Horton. When I first saw it, it scared the heck out of me. We use to play hide and seek in a cornfield at my grandparents house, but not after watching that movie.

Courtney Gains plays Malachi, and he was one scary dude. The end is really far fetched and kind of doesn't fit with the beginning. But, the very beginning is pretty darn creepy.

I saw Children of the Corn when I was about 11 years old and it scared me. And of course it did not help that I live in a town that is surrounded by corn fields.
My cousins and I use to play hide and seek in the corn fields at my grandparents house, but that stopped after I saw that movie

COTC rocks my world! John Franklin (Isaac) and Courtney Gains (Malachi) are awesome, and the rest of the kids are OK too. See it!
