In the aftermath of [[Film/ChildrenOfTheCorn1984 the previous film]], the children of Gatlin are relocated by the authorities to the neighboring town of Hemingford. Not long after, He Who Walks Behind The Rows finds a new host in Micah, who, with the rest of the children of Gatlin, proceed to repeat what they did to the adults last time. The only ones standing in their way are local reporter John Garrett, his son Danny, a local Gatlin girl named Lacey, the owner of a local bed-and-breakfast named Angela and state university professor Dr. Frank Red Bear.

* DoingInTheWizard: Why are children acting strangely and people keep seeing weird things around the cornfields? Because the corn itself is contaminated, which is covered up by local authorities due to all the money that is tied into it.
* TheDragon: Mordecai acts as one to Micah.
* EyeScream: In addition to making him bleed out of everywhere else on his face, Micah makes a man's eyeballs burst into gore at church using a voodoo doll.

* ShoutOut: A twofer for ''Film/TheWizardOfOz''; Mrs. Burke is crushed under a house, and her last words are "What a world, what a world...."

** Not to mention the [[MeaningfulName two sisters' names]]: Mrs. "West" (as in The Wicked Witch of) and Mrs. "Burke" (Billie Burke played Glinda the Good Witch).
