* DolledUpInstallment: Averted. While the kids are led by a preaching child figure, the corn of the title is not at focus at all, which made some viewers think that the film wasn't meant to be a ''[=CotC=]'' installment at all. The sole scene mentioning the series BiggerBad He Who Walks Behind The Rows [[DeletedScene being cut]] doesn't help matters.
