THE PLOT - The plot involves Hemingford, Nebraska, a town near Gatlin (the original film's setting). The people of Hemingford decide to adopt the surviving children from Gatlin, intending to help them start new lives. Unfortunately for the well-meaning locals, the children go out to the cornfield where one of the cult members, Micah, is possessed by He Who Walks Behind The Rows, the demonic entity the cult worships. Caught in the middle are reporter John Garret and his son Danny, who have a troubled relationship. They travel to the mysterious town of Gaitlin, unaware of the murderous cult of children who are waiting in the cornfields.

FILMING: Film production began at the end of spring 1991, and shooting began in summer 1991 in Liberty, North Carolina. Most of the cast were locals, including the children. 

In the movie, a house was set up to move away from the town.  A lady chased a cat under it and children drop house on her. In real life, not sure where the filming took place, but the house is now located on the outskirts of Ramseur, NC.

The house was for sale in 2016. Hubby and I went by and looked at the outside. We could see signs of where someone was living there.  We left.  Hubby went later and did go inside and look.  The owner ended up being a brother of hubby's cousin's husband, so hubby called the owner and made an offer. The owner did not accept the offer.

The house did not sale and it is now off the market.  Here is a neat article entitled "Children of the Corn house!! Not for the faint of heart".  (Do a search on google search and watch it. Spooky!)

Two days later a news article was published about a fire at the house. Click FIRE
