## Resource

Today Griffey and Dandino pray to He Who Walks Behind the Rows in Children of the Corn. They dig into the dirt of what this new/old God is doing with these children, they way that the fevor of these children for their new religion can rapidly turn them against each other, and what our adult couple protaganist help illuminate as they enter this corn fueled nightmare. Of all the MESSED UP Stephen King adapations this is a personal favorite of ours. Synopsis: A young couple is trapped in a remote town where a dangerous religious cult of children believes that everyone over age 18 must be killed. Starring: Peter Horton, Linda Hamilton, John Franklin, Courtney Gains Directed by Fritz Kiersch Youtube: https://youtu.be/0SBzC5773TA Help us make our first feature length Messed Up Movie: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/mr-creamjean-s-hidey-hole-horror-comedy-movie#/ Support the show on the Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/messedupmoviespod
