We chat with ChildrenoftheCorn stars Kate Moyer & ElenaKampouris and director Kurt Wimmer about the onscreen appearance of He Who Walks Behind the Rows in their prequel to the beloved Stephen King story:
After experiencing long delays, the latest Children of the Corn installment was finally released in theaters on March 3. The film serves as a prequel to Stephen King's 1977 short story and gives audiences a deeper insight into the events leading up to the children's murderous rampage. Unlike the 1984 film, He Who Walks Behind the Rows is physically depicted in the latest chapter, amending what many consider to be the original Children of the Corn's biggest mistake.
Elena Kampouris: That is right. We filmed this in 2020. The amount of time that's passed...it still feels like a dream—the fact that we actually finished this movie. Everybody was always asking, "When's it coming out?" and I was like, "I don't know!" I can't wait for people to finally get to see it. The fact that we managed to do this with what we were up against—Kurt and Kate, you guys can speak to this—it's surreal to me.
Kurt Wimmer: It was about 50 acres and I remember, when we had to move from one location to another, and we were just chopping through the corn to try and find it—you definitely didn't know where you were going. Elena Kampouris: The corn is, as I said, it's its own character and to Bo, it's like family. It's so ingrained in the fabric of the community. To me, the dying corn withering away is like seeing a loved one die. She's right on the precipice of becoming a woman and becoming a scientist and going off to Boston, but the fact that she has to leave her brother behind and leave behind a decaying town with all the dysfunction that's going on—it really tugs at her.
Kate and Elena, I assume you don't really see He Who Walks Behind the Rows while you're filming. [Laughs] Elena Kampouris: When I saw He Who Walks, I was really impressed. I love horror and the monsters to me are super important. When I saw him, I was like, "Oh my gosh!" Digital Domain did the special effects. I was like, "job well done." I thought he was terrifying.
Did any of you get a chance to collaborate with Stephen King at all? Was he involved in this process? Stephen King does a lot of interesting stuff, and it's not all horror. This short story wasn't really horror at all. It's about kids who are religious fanatics who feel like their parents are corrupt, and they take over. It's not really horror. That's a sort of elliptical answer to your question. He has a lot of stuff I'd be interested in, but probably not the horror specifically.
