Children of the Corn
As they are driving through rural Nebraska and arguing, Burt is ready to call off the vacation and consult a divorce attorney.The couple argues as usual and Burt takes the keys and proceeds inside the church, which unlike the rest of the town, still shows signs of life.At the altar, Burt finds a King James Bible (with several pages from the New Testament cut out) as well as a record book listing the births and deaths of various people.He notices that all names in the book and another subsequent one were changed from modern to Biblical ones, and that everyone listed as deceased died on their 19th birthday.Burt realizes that 12 years ago, the children of Gatlin killed the town's adults and that members of their community are not allowed to live past their 19th birthday.As the sun sets, Burt gets lost and wanders around until he finds a circle of empty ground in the middle of the cornfield and discovers Vicky's body.The next day, the children of Gatlin (all of whom worship "He Who Walks Behind the Rows", an entity that inhabits the cornfields surrounding the town) have a meeting in the circle.
