Where to start with Children of the Corn

Watch the 1984 film. Then decide how much of a series you actually want, because after the second film this stops being one.

  1. 1
    Children of the Corn (1984) Children of the Corn

    The one everybody means. Ninety two minutes, a town with no adults, and the only entry the rest of the series keeps returning to.

  2. 2
    Children of the Corn II: The Final Sacrifice (1993) Children of the Corn II: The Final Sacrifice

    The only true sequel in the run. It takes the survivors of Gatlin and moves them one town over. If you want a story that continues, this is where it continues and also where it stops.

  3. 3
    Children of the Corn 666: Isaac's Return (1999) Children of the Corn 666: Isaac's Return

    Skip to here if you want the thread picked back up. It deliberately ignores films three, four and five and returns to the 1984 original, with Isaac played by the same actor fifteen years later.

Then what? Films three, four, five and seven share the mythology and nothing else. Any of them works cold and none of them needs the others. The 2009 television film is a remake of the original, and Genesis, Runaway and the 2023 film each start over from nothing, so pick one of those and watch it on its own rather than as part of a run.

A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below: tick anything off in either place.

Everything you tick is saved in this browser and nowhere else. An account is the only way to put your list on another device, and the only way to get it back if this browser clears its storage. It is free and it takes an email address and a password.

Sign in on your phone, your laptop, anything, and the same list is there, kept in step as you tick. Nothing to copy, nothing to remember.

All three are about this franchise and all three are for showing, not moving. The link and the picture open SagaList with that progress displayed next to whatever the person opening it has already ticked. The code is what a friend pastes into Compare below. None of them writes anything into anybody's list.

Read only. This never changes what you have saved, and nothing leaves your browser. The code has to be their code for this same franchise: codes do not carry a name, so one from somewhere else may not be recognised as wrong.

Removes everything ticked here, in this browser. If you are signed in it clears on your other devices too. If you are not, there is no other copy and this cannot be undone.
