On Set Cinema Presents: "Children of the Corn" - Whiting, IA

 

On Saturday, July 17th, 2021, I made the trip to Whiting, Iowa to watch the film right by the infamous flag pole, where some major scenes in the original "Children of the Corn" movie were filmed. The above image is some of the original "children" reuniting at the flag pole itself.

The Fictional Town of Gatlin, NE - "Children of the Corn" Filming Location - Whiting, IA

The 1984 classic "Children of the Corn" took place in the fictional town of Gatlin, Nebraska. However, a majority of the town is actually Whiting, Iowa. All of these locations can be found up and down Whittier Street. The top photo in each photo duo is a still from the film, and the bottom photo is how the location appeared in April of 2018.
