* The sheer isolation of Gatlin is utterly soul crushing, imagine being trapped in a place like that, lost in a sea of vegetation, you might as well be the only town in the world.

--> ''Something had happened in 1964, something to do with corn, and religion. Perhaps a religious mania had swept them? Alone, all alone, surrounded by miles of the rustling, secretive corn, alone under a million acres of blue sky. Alone under the watchful eye of God, now a strange green God, a God of corn, grown old and strange and hungry. He Who Walks Behind The Rows. Burt felt a chill creep into his flesh.''

* The lack of exposition of exactly what happened in Gatlin in the original story is actually pretty terrifying on its own. The evidence Burt finds and pieces together paints a pretty horrifying picture on its own, but you dont see any of it happen unlike the 1984 adaption, and the time skip between the massacre and the time of the story is also MUCH longer. The cult has been doing this for ''12 years'' by the time Burt and Vicky finds them, and ''NO ONE'' has noticed it before. No one who lived to tell the tale anyway.

* The end of the short story. Burt and Vicky do ''not'' survive, there are ''no'' good kids, and the cult is not stopped. The fact that one of the cultists is pregnant with Malachi's child was somehow the ''most'' disturbing thing about these lunatics.
