The Americanvirus Picture Series Continues With - Joe Williamson: Retired Explorer Of The Antarctic
One of our favorite segments here at ChildrenoftheCornMovie.com is the Americanvirus picture series that features the outstanding work of Jonas Seaman. I'm sure all Children of the Corn fans will remember Jonas played Joseph, the Gatlin native that met a very untimely end at the hands of Malachai (and Burt's car!). Jonas runs a fabulous website at Americanvirus.com where he posts many of his photographic and creative works. It is our extreme pleasure to include this as a part of our site and we thank Jonas for his continued support. So, let's get to it and unveil - Joe Williamson: Retired Explorer Of The Antarctic!
As always, Jonas captures the essence of his subjects to a degree that brings out feelings in every picture he produces. As much as we love to feature these photographs, we haven't even begun to touch the iceberg! For a look at Jonas' extensive collection, please visit www.americanvirus.com or head over to his official page at Flickr.

A "Return To Gatlin" 25 Years Later Extra
Welcome Outlanders to a special edition of "Return To Gatlin" 25 Years Later. As this had a bit of info to go with it and was also a location by itself, we decided to give it it's own feature. I'm sure you all know the story. Three years ago, the adult townsfolk of rural Gatlin went out into the cornfield (permanently) while Sarah predicted with her drawings the events that would forever shape the "Nicest Little Town In Nebraska" into "An Adult Nightmare." As the opening credits show a gallery of her work, it finalizes, at least for the moment, on a car parked in front of a motel. The drawing materializes into Present Day to introduce us to our heroes of the story, Burt (Peter Horton) and Vicky (Linda Hamilton). As many of us have done this past summer, Burt and Vicky decided on stopping for the night before heading on their way to a place that was not a scheduled visit on their route.
As with searching any movie filming locations, sometimes finding certain areas can be hit or miss due to the amount of time that has passed. Assuming it was the outside of the former Howard Johnson's in Sioux City, I figured it just didn't exist anymore. I was soon proved wrong and hit the jackpot. Located off Interstate 29 just outside of Sergeant Bluff IA, there you will find the building, now an Econo Lodge, still standing and looking basically the same. It was obvious that the doors were now a different color, but the overall structure was identical to that in the movie.
Getting ready, there was one thing I noticed in the background as I lined up the shot. The original sign had three legs while the new one only had two. Being the purist that I am I was determined to find the proof I was looking for to verify this location's authenticity. After a closer inspection, I had it and the answer was clear. The spot where the third leg used to be, was being used as a planter! I guess it was a creative way to hide the cement foundation where the leg had previously stood.
Here is a closer look of the three-leg foundation. I have found that October is a great time to visit these places because of the Fall colors, cornstalks and pumpkins and the sense that Halloween is just around the corner!
One of the most exciting things visiting where a movie was filmed is to find a shooting location you thought was no longer there and this was no doubt, one outstanding revelation! A very special thank you goes out to Debbie who was able to recognize and direct us to this particular location. Well, like Burt and Vicky, it was time for me to get on the road and continue my COTC site hunting. Just remember when going on your own "Corn-Quest", that this IS a place of business and needs to be treated as such. Next up, we will have the official second part to our "Return To Gatlin" four-part series so until then - Oh, looks like a gas station up ahead. I'd better stop for directions. By the way, don't mind the banging in the trunk. It's just Burt's golf clubs.

Coming This Fall - A Real "Cornfield Classic" To Be Released For The First Time On DVD
Every once in a while, a piece of news comes along that even though it is not Children of the Corn related, we feel it holds enough content and interest to deserve special mention right here on the site. Case and point - the long-awaited, first-time official dvd release of J.D. Feigelson's 1981 television classic, "Dark Night of the Scarecrow".
Larry Drake (Dr. Giggles) portrays Bubba, a mentally challenged man who befriends a small girl as a playmate in the town in which they both live. One day, the townsfolk find the girl attacked and as she is unable to tell them what happened, they assume it was Bubba. Led by postman Otis (Charles Durning), four of the men form a group, hunting Bubba down where they find him hiding as a scarecrow in a nearby cornfield. They open fire, thinking they have achieved revenge on the little girl's attacker. By placing a pitchfork in Bubba's hands, they try and claim self-defense for what they feel was a justified act against him. Later, the girl awakens and reveals that the real attacker was a dog and that Bubba was protecting her. As the men are exonerated for the crime due to the lack of witnessess, it seems they have gotten away with murder. Or have they? One by one, the men are are hunted and killed leading right up to the gripping and shocking conclusion. Who is the killer? A ghost, a witness to the lynching or was it Bubba himself? Check out the VCI Entertainment dvd release this Fall to find out!
"Return to Gatlin" 25 Years Later - A Four-Part Anniversary Series
October, 2009. The year of the 25th silver anniversary. I was on my second trip to the Iowa towns used for filming the original 1984 classic, Children of the Corn when the idea came to me. As I looked at the streets, buildings and unmistakable landmarks, I was thinking, "Twenty-five years ago, these towns were made famous and undoubtedly added to the success of the finished film! What could I do to help make this milestone a special one?" I decided then that since four different towns were used to create a certain Nebraskan community, each one should be featured in a four-part article series, re-visiting the scenes and places that has made this film unforgettable over the years. So, are you ready? Map in the car? Night Shift book on the dashboard? Good. Then, come with us as we make our first stop as we "Return to Gatlin"....
At first glance, Hornick Iowa may not look familiar. But through the years, it has been viewed and accepted by horror fans as a part of the fictional Stephen King town of Gatlin, Nebraska. While this is just one of the selected towns used in the filming, this just happens to be home to two of the most distinguisable locations used in the movie. Now, travel with us just up the road a ways as we visit the childhood house of Sarah and Job.
It has come to be known to horror fans as recognizable as the Tall Man's mausoleum from "Phantasm", Michael Myers home from the original boogeyman classic "John Carpenter's Halloween" and Nancy Thompson's scary abode from "A Nightmare on Elm Street". Although 25 years have passed, there really isn't a whole lot that has changed to the outside structure other than a slightly different color and some changes to the porch area. From my understanding, there was a barn behind the house years ago, but was destroyed not long after the movie was filmed. A cornfield still resides out by the back of the house which one will remember is where Burt is drawn to when looking for Vicky and he hears the church bell ring.
Around the side of the house is where the fake cellar doors were placed to give the illusion of a complete basement. In actuality, a garage at another location was used for that interior scene made up with fake walls to resemble the underground labrynth we see in the finished film. The actual house itself had no outside cellar entry that were essential to the scene, so the doors and frame were constructed in which, the actors crouched inside and came out on cue. Although no one lived in the house in Hornick during the time of filming, it has since been occupied and was even used as a bed & breakfast called the Iva Belle Bed and Breakfast (imagine being able to stay all night there!). Now a private residence (remember location seekers, it IS somebody's home), the people that own it were very friendly and told me that they get about 5 to 10 visitors a year stopping by and asking if it is "THE" house. But "THE" house was actually, "TWO" houses! As the house in Hornick had what they were looking for structure-wise, all of the interior scenes were filmed at another location in another town which we will touch on later in the series. As we say goodbye to Sarah and Job, our next stop is the site of the Gatlin school.
As Burt walked around the town of Gatlin looking for life, one of the places he stopped at was the Gatlin school to have a peek inside. Not too far from Job and Sarah's house is a park that was built on the site of where the Hornick Elementary Schoolhouse once stood. The school was closed in 1988 and then torn down in 1994 after which, a new park was formed. From what I was told, this was the spot where they filmed that scene. Unfortunately without it still standing, I of course cannot be 100 percent sure on this. If I am wrong and this is not the correct area, then I am not aware at the present time of the actual location.
Now, right up the road is another location made famous on the screen. Come with us now as we visit the site of Hansen's Cafe, where the "Adult Nightmare" began.
Located right down the street from the park and Job and Sarah's house, this is where Malachai and his fellow followers turned on the adults and seized control of the town. When I first visited Hornick in 2007, the cafe was then known as the MainStreet Grill.
Walking in, I was very surprised to find the place virtually the same as it was when filming took place back in 1983. The booths to the side had been replaced by tables and the wallpaper had been changed over the years, but the overall feel and look of the cafe was right out of the movie! The counter, front booth and barstools (possibly re-covered) seemed to all be the same with little to no change at all.
The back portion of the cafe, which I was told had in years past had been the bowling alley area, had been opened for more dining space and alas, the famous pinball machine had disappeared with the passage of time. Having the Sunday buffet (I almost ordered a strawberry shake, for film continuity purposes only of course), my eyes were very busy going from my food (which was excellent) to looking about the place.
It was a very surreal experience sitting where this movie was made and I felt for myself, that some inner puzzle had been completed. All of the people that I talked to while I was there were extremely friendly, workers and customers alike, and when I asked about the filming of Children of the Corn, it seemed they had embraced and accepted that time in the towns history and they also had lots of stories to tell! One can only imagine what it would've been like for this Iowa community to have Hollywood arriving on your doorstep wanting to use your town for a major motion picture! As you can see by the picture below, the cafe has two front main windows but it is the one all the way to the left that has produced one of the creepiest scenes in horror history. As I sat eating my Sunday lunch, I found myself glancing at it every once in a while, almost expecting to see the blackened hat visage of Isaac to be peering in.
Now you may be asking why am I talking and showing pictures of my first trip way back in 2007 when I just recently visited in 2009. Sadly, on Christmas Eve 2008 - just three short months from the films original theatrical premiere back in 1984, a cooking fire spread throughout the cafe which in the end, made it a total loss. It's an unfitting ending to not only a big screen horror icon, but a wonderful restaurant and building with a lot of history as well.
The following pictures are of the empty lot that now occupies the space in which the story, or "Nightmare", of Gatlin began. As you can see, not even the foundation remains as it was cleared away completely. It was sad to think that future "Outlanders" would not be able to see the place that started it all and would forever make the names of Isaac and Malachai feared within the world of horror. Although it was very disheartening to view the location, I will always be very
grateful that I had the chance to visit and eat there at least one time before the tragedy. Running on a schedule, it was finally time to leave Hornick and make my way to the next town and shooting locations. Although I still didn't find the exact spot used for the cornfield scenes, I left with a sense of fullfillment (I'm sure Sarah's drawings will predict my return in the near future). I think 'He Who Walks Behind The Rows' would've been well pleased!
As we stop to stretch our legs for a bit, be sure to continue with us soon on our trip through the cornfields with part 2 of our 25th anniversary journey, "Return to Gatlin" - 25 Years Later. And be looking for our "Return to Gatlin" 25 Years Later video series coming soon from ChildrenoftheCornMovie.com! Until then Outlanders, remember -

Cuts From The Corn : The Classic Scenes Series Presents - "That's When Sarah Started Drawing These Pictures..."
Well fans, we searched the corn rows quite a while for this one. So this week, we finally resume our "Cuts From The Corn" series with the unforgettable moment of "That's When Sarah Started Drawing These Pictures...".
As Job and his Father make a stop at the local Hansen's Cafe after Sunday church, sister Sarah was at home running a temperature and feeling a little under the weather. As sinister events unfolded throughout the rural community of Gatlin, Sarah was predicting what was happening at the cafe through an insightful drawing that would lay the foundation of Isaac's reign and spell the end for all adults in the town. With her "Gift of Sight", I wonder if she knew Mr. Hansen's hand would be on the menu as the special of the day? Something tells me Mr. Hansen probably didn't......

ChildrenoftheCornMovie
Hello Children of the Corn fans! Back in 1984, a film was released that was based on a Stephen King short story about children, a small town in Nebraska and, well, corn! Produced on a small budget for the time, Stephen King's Children of the Corn was released to moviegoers everywhere and the cornfield hasn't been the same since. So I started a Children of the Corn MySpace page dedicated to the original which I have had a lot of fun developing and the response has been outstanding! Then I decided a while back to add a website that would also serve anyone searching for information on the original 1984 film. Most recently, I have also included a companion Facebook page that will work right along with the website to bring to the fans a "cornfield of knowledge" about this classic movie. Thanks for looking everybody and welcome to Gatlin!
