Weird religious iconography, wide-brimmed Amish hats, some sort of sinister cornfield à la Children of the Corn?
Jonathan Elias' memorably shrill score frequently rips off the satanic chanting from "The Omen" (1976), and it is given substantial room to breathe here, but the action scenes toward the end have no real impact and are let down by this track.
So what exactly does "Children of the Corn" have that, say, "Carrie" (1976), "The Shining" (1980), or "Misery" (1990) don't that has led to its never-ending legacy of follow-ups.
At the time King was writing “It,” he was also seeing many of his previous novels being transformed into movies with wildly mixed results ranging from the brilliance of “Carrie,” “The Dead Zone” and (despite his long-standing antipathy towards it) “The Shining” to clunkers like “Children of the Corn” and “Firestarter.”
Something like Pet Sematary or Children of the Corn.

In 1983 alone, no less than three films were adapted from King novels: "Cujo," "The Dead Zone," and "Christine."
Just as it appears as if The Mist is destined to be a King-spawned failure of biblical (i.e., Children of the Corn ) proportions, its creature designs turn wicked.
