| Yeah, Zea mays (maize/corn) can be spooky |
It's that time of the year again when pagan rituals (aka Halloween) sweep across this land, and in honor of that occasion I just have to list some of the horror movies that have made cornfields one of the least likely places to visit during night time.
I remember mentioning that I get spooked hiking forests at night, but I think being stuck in a field with tall grasses like corn would not be Disney time either.
We'll start with the better one of the lot - the movie adaptation of Stephen King's short story.
Children of the Corn (1984 original + all the sequels)
But here are more goodies that I dug up from youtube (in year descending order). I cannot vouch for their quality (other than Signs, Jeepers Creepers, and Escape the Field, which were ok), but if you're into dark and dangerous cornfields (and scarecrows!), you'll probably dig most of them.
This next one actually looked good, and was released by Lions Gate, a major studio. I dug it up (yes, I know I used the term "dig" twice...because Halloween) as a streamed movie in my cable lineup and watched it after posting this. It was ok, though the ending might be confusing. Reminds me of the 2010 Predators movie mixed with King's In the Tall Grass (more on that later).
Escape the Field (2022)
This next one is also in one of the streaming services, but it looks so horribly campy that I am giving it a pass.
Sharks of the Corn (2021)
The next several movies I have not seen, nor am I probably ever going to watch them (except for 1922 maybe, which is based on a Stephen King story).
Scarecrows (2018)
1922 (2017)
Husk and sequels (2011)
The Fields (2011)
A Brush with Death (2007)
Dark harvest (2004)
I watched this one a while back by M. Night Shyamalan and it was good drama, but probably not as good as his Sixth Sense, which was a classic.
Signs (2002)
Jeepers Creepers and sequels (2001)
Psycho Scarecrow (1997)- Full Movie
