"It was about three years ago. I was the only kid in church that day. The others were with Isaac out in the cornfield......"
It's been 25 years since Robby Kiger began his narration to one of the most memorable movies in horror cinema. To commemorate the anniversary of the original theatrical release date (March 9th, 1984), I thought it would be fun to get a retrospective view from some of the actors that contributed to the film and get their thoughts on 25 years later....

In the original Children of the Corn, many actors were brought together to keep us terrified by children in a small Nebraska town and cornfield. One actor's name you may not recognize, but are sure to remember his performance, is Corey Frizzell. Corey played one of the children from Gatlin and was featured in several scenes. One thing you may not know is that Corey also was a stand-in double for the character of Job, played by Robby Kiger. Recently, we talked with Corey about Sioux City, being a part of the Frizzell country music legacy, and being trampled by Peter Horton. You can view the interview in it's entirety by clicking on Corey's picture to the right or by clicking here.

One thing you may not know is that Corey also was a stand-in double for the character of Job, played by Robby Kiger. One of the big scenes memorable to Children of the Corn fans that you may not have recognized Corey in was the "Town Hall" scene where Burt (played by Peter Horton) roams the town of Gatlin looking for residents. As he enters the Town Hall, Job follows him into the building. Contrary to what you might of thought, all of the scenes inside the fictional "Town Hall" featuring Job were not Robby Kiger.
