8 Stephen King Movie Fan Theories That Will Blow Your Mind

8. The Children Of The Corn Features Randall Flagg From The Dark Tower

Let's start with an easy one.

The Children of the Corn is a pretty so-so King adaptation, but it's one that fits right into the mythos of his interconnected universe that all ties back to The Dark Tower. Randall Flagg appears in many of King's stories - predominantly The Stand and under the alias of Walter in The Dark Tower if we consult the novels - as a presence of evil, and it seems he's stepped into one of his disguises in the Corn movies as a figment of darkness as He Who Walks Behind The Rows.

There's many truths and theories behind Randall Flagg's involvement in the King universe as the wider force of malevolence, with fans speculating that anything nasty is born from Flagg's involvement across the universe. For this theory, Randall Flagg as evil itself becomes true for him to take on the role of a mysterious shadow entity that controls the children of the corn.

Essentially, since we never know what it is or where it comes from, fans believe it's an extension of Flagg for these all-encompassing evil reasons, and also for the fact that he had an affinity for corn in The Stand. Makes sense, to be honest.
