ON SET CINEMA is heading to the small town of Gatlin on July 13, 2024 for a very special 40th Anniversary screening of Stephen King’s “Children of the Corn”! Actor COURTNEY GAINS ...aka Malachai himself will be a special guest at this event! This will be Courtney's first time back to Whiting since filming took place in the early 1980s. He will be joining us for an autograph signing, Q&A and special photo op by the flagpole! “Children of the Corn” was filmed in several great small towns throughout western Iowa, but I will be showing the movie in the heart of Gatlin in the town of Whiting, outside in front of the infamous “Outlander” flagpole! A bunch of scenes from the movie took place in Whiting - this is where Burt (Peter Horton) and Vicky (Linda Hamilton) pull into the ghost town in front of Hansen’s Café, where all the adults were murdered by the children in the beginning of the movie. This is also where a ton of chase scenes throughout the movie take place. Also, you can't forget the scene where Malachai (Courtney Gains) holds Vicky in front of the flagpole and yells “Outlander! Outlander! We have your woman!” There will be local food vendors at the event selling lots of great food, including popcorn for the movie and of course corn on the cob! This is going to be an incredible way to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of one of the greatest horror movies of all time! • ALL EVENT DETAILS & TICKETS AT - www.myershousenc.com/onsetcinema
