Children of the Corn, all grown up!

It’s been some thirty-odd years since we’ve heard from the children of corn, that creepy gang of cultist kids from Gatlin. As it turns out, they’re all grown up these days, living in a compound called Zion (after the Matrix), and allowing “He Who Walks Behind the Rows” to have his way with their daughters. This is a good thing as far as the crops are concerned, but has raised some questions in the minds of prosecutors after an anonymous tip by one of the women that she was being forced to wear the wrong shade of blue and that she’s been molested repeatedly.

Now, before we start knocking the corn people for how wrong it is to molest children, I think it important to point out that in the late seventies, the sacrificial age was only nineteen. “He Who Walks Behind the Rows” is evidently much more progressive nowadays, even allowing many to reach adulthood, albeit under conditions of absurd hairstyles and yes sexual molestation.

And what IS it with their hairstyles? Someone please explain.

1) The one second to the left looks a bit like Frida Kahlo. So the real question: Does she inspire art? And if so, where I can buy a such a piece? You know…for scientific purposes. And by scientific purposes, I mean to scare small children on Halloween with by hanging it on my front door. That’s less candy I have to buy! An investment, if you will.

2) They’re like Stepford wives! But vaguely Amish in dress. Without the plastic surgery. Or the Brooks Brothers wardrobe. So maybe not Stepford. Just wives? Not quite tabloid/Perez Hilton.com material, is it? Smacks more of Bea Arthur than Nancy McCain. Ok, I just lost interest.

3) I kinda’ dig the button-down blue shirt dress though. Is that wrong? Kinda’ 40’s in a Prairie Home Companion way, isn’t it? Looks like something Urban Outfitters would sell torn up sans hemming. Cameron…stop holdin’ out on me. You know you got them FLDS hook-ups.

4) And as for the hairdos, I think Vanilla Ice would be flattered…

Maybe “Ice Ice Baby” is how they greet Jesus in the morning. Hey, it was catchy.

You’re right about Vanilla Ice. I was having a hard time putting my finger on it.
