Sneak a Peek At The Children of the Corn Prequel via New Photos April 30, 2021 Children of the Corn is a long-running series of films all stemming from a well-received Steven King adaption in 1984. Almost a decade after that original release, it became a direct-to-video staple, producing seven sequels, a TV film adaption, a reboot, and now a nostalgic prequel/remake in 2021. Said prequel, also entitled Children of the Corn and directed by Kurt Wimmer, premiered in a limited theatrical run this past October, but didn’t generate too much buzz at the time. The film is now headed to home media for a wider audience, and producers ANVL Entertainment have seen fit to release a series of new screenshots from the film to tease that eventual release.
