Next year will mark the 40th anniversary of director Fritz Kiersch’s 1984 Stephen King adaptation Children of the Corn (watch it HERE) – but the folks at Trick or Treat Studios are getting the celebration started early. They’re already accepting pre-orders for a two-pack of action figures based on the characters Isaac and Malachi! An image of the action figures can be seen at the bottom of this article. The two-pack can be pre-ordered at THIS LINK, where more images of the figures can be found.
The action figures are expected to start shipping out in just a couple months, on September 15th.
Scripted by George Goldsmith and based on a King short story, Children of the Corn has the following synopsis: As physician Burt Stanton and his girlfriend Vicky drive across the Midwest to his new job, their trip comes to a sudden halt when they encounter the body of a murdered boy in the road. In trying to contact the authorities, Burt and Vicky wander into a small town populated only by children, followers of sinister young preacher Isaac Chroner. Soon the couple is fleeing the youthful fanatics, who want to sacrifice them to their demonic deity.
The film stars Peter Horton, Linda Hamilton, R.G. Armstrong, Robby Kiger, Anne Marie McEvoy, Julie Maddalena, Jonas Harlowe, and John Philbin, with John Franklin as Isaac and Courtney Gains as Malachi.
