Oh, GOODNESS, your post reminds me...

My grandmother -hated- scary movies, but she loved me so much that when I'd stay with her in summer she'd watch them with me/for me, and enjoy them because it was an 'us' thing, if that makes sense to any folk 'round here. She had one caveat: I had to have seen the movies already, and I had to warn her when something 'scary' was going to happen. One of these movies was the original movie make of 'Children of the Corn' which, even if you dislike the movie because it just wasn't -right-, you have to admit involved a pretty creepy Isaac and a pretty creepy Malachi. I think so, anyway. *shudder*

So I was too busy hiding my own eyes and peeping between my fingers to remember to warn grandma of some bit I can't even dredge the memory up of right now, but I sure as hell remember her screech, her vanishing (really, it was like magic... grandma poofed into a little dustcloud), and her shouting 'You rotten little monster, YOU PROMISED!' from around the corner in the kitchen when I giggled.

Oops.

Thanks for giving me back this memory!

The biggest problem I have with eating corn is that it gets stuck in my teeth . . .

which is eminently preferable to me than watching this movie.

My parents moved to the central valley in California in the early 90s when everything was a big cow pasture. I went to visit and my sister was dating this dude she wanted me to meet. Anyway, I woke up kinda late and walked into the living room. Sitting on the couch was this redhead boy and he introduced himself he said his name was Malachi!!! AWWWW HELLL NO!!! I completely and totally flipped out and demanded to be taken back to civilization before him and his friends hemmed me up!!!! I will never let my sister forget that!!!

I liked it when I was a kid too then I got older and saw it again. Really need to be a kid to like this one I think.

children of the corn was a great movie just saw it a while back with a friend the first time. and her faceual expretions were pricless. she promised that shed "never stop or get near a field agin to the day she pasted on". I liked it as a chied and was a corn detasler in my early teens and the group of us would play in the fileds chasing after the new people each year and called our selves h children of the corn. those were some good times and unforgetable. thanks for the flash back with this post. live long/ lough hard, and die happy.

Oh, and my mom walked in to the living room in the beginning, when the ice cream bar..uh..'incident' happened. "EUUW, what are you watching? Oh, Stephen King. :eek2:"

My dad wasn't a big on scary movies, so my mom would drag me to as many as possible...the last one was "Nightmare on Elm Street"...although she taped SK's mini series for me until a few years ago :)
