How to Survive: Children of the Corn (1984)

It's episode 143... and we have your woman outlander! She still lives! Children of the Corn (1984) tells the story of Burt and Vicky, two Outlanders, on their way to a new life on the other side of America. They pass through a series of cornfields, and soon find themselves in a town where there are no adults, only shrill children. Where are the adults? Who are the children? And who walks behind the rows? We discuss the key tenets of being an effective lookout; the simplicity of killing or maiming your would-be attackers when they happen to be children; and we talk about an amorphous representation simulacrum of the scariest creature ever committed to cinema. Whatever happens, one thing's for sure: Don't ever show up in my emergency room, buddy!  Another classic film solved by the best movie podcast in the world.
