CHILDREN OF THE CORN

[NOVELETTE]

Three-part BBC serial based on the novelette by Stephen King.

“Stephen King’s Children of the Corn struck fear into the hearts of cinema-goers when it was

released as a film in the 1980s, and still enjoys cult status today.

“A husband and wife are on holiday in an attempt to save their marriage. They come across the

town of Gatlin which is surrounded by rows and rows of golden corn. Could they put the bad

events of the past (including a murder they need to report) behind them or have they just stepped

into their worst nightmare?”
