The Franchise: Children of the Corn

The Role: Grace in the fourth film, 1996's The Gathering.

Why You Forgot: It's hard to believe that the Children of the Corn franchise has lasted through nine films, starting in 1984 and ending (for now) in 2011, which is a fact that many reading this are likely surprised by. While the original film based on Stephen King's short story is hardly an everlasting horror classic, the sequels that followed over the years only served to make it look far better in comparison.

In 1996, the series began its DTV status, with its low budget and high cheese factor doing it no favors in making it worthwhile. Fortunately, Watts managed to break out several years later thanks to Mulholland Drive and has long since put her time with Children of the Corn behind her.
