The Opening Shot Of This Silk Oat Milk Commercial Always Makes Me Think Of Stephen King's "Children Of The Corn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"


                                         Can you imagine, darlings?  "Children Of The Corn," in print, was one of  King's best stories,  one that today serves as a metaphor for all things cultish, like NXIVM, and, of  course, Scientology, and The Landmark Forum.


                                            Everyone  remembers the 1984 film version of  "Children Of The Corn."  The reason for that is its chilling  opening scene, where, one  Sunday, after church, the town's children murder the adults  in a brutal  massacre.  The teen aged waitress is the most sadistic, by poisoning the coffee.


                                               The film  goes downhill from there.  And did  you know  there was a  TV movie  remake  in 2009????????????    I checked  out some  of it--forget  it.


                                                If you really want to  see  "Children Of The Corn,"  at its  purest and most distilled,  I refer  you, girls, to  the 1983 "Disciples Of The Crow," which is shorter,  more understated,  and yet creepy as can be.  


                                                    Just shows that less is more, darlings!


                                                    I so wanted to bring you the 1983 film  on here,  for you to view.  I suggest you go to  YouTube, where it is, and see how well an adaptation of this work was actually made, before what is considered the more  renowned  one!


                                                    Indeed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  1. Stephen King, I thought was so prolific, but apparently he’s only published around sixty books?
    Can that be right??

  2. Victoria,
    I really have not kept track. The last
    book I read was one of his pulp fiction
    paperbacks called Joyland, about a haunted
    amusement park. That may have been in 2013.
