What critics say influenced 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.

In 1983 alone, no less than three films were adapted from King novels: "Cujo," "The Dead Zone," and "Christine."
