Ellie Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 If you hear or see something suspicious in the corn field, do NOT go in the field to check it out. That is all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LibraryLover Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Never heard of it. However, I live across the street from a large cornfield. So, yk, thanks for the tips! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remudamom Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Fringe?? What is Fringe? Sounds like my type of movie/show/whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikeBookBread Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 You will like it if you liked The X-Files, Lost, or Alias...it's a J.J. Abrams show. You will hate it if you are freaked out by anything remotely creepy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joannqn Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 You will hate it if you are freaked out by anything remotely creepy. :iagree: True. We love the show but I have a tendency to jump and/or scream while watching it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaichiki Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 In all those horror movies... don't the people ALWAYS head TOWARD the weird, scary noises? What is WRONG with them??? :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikeBookBread Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 :iagree: True. We love the show but I have a tendency to jump and/or scream while watching it.

I'm on the west coast watching it now...haven't gotten to that part yet. It's ok. I don't mind spoilers. The embarrassing thing is that I'll jump even though I know exactly what is coming. I'll jump even after seeing a scary movie several times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm the type to read the last chapter of the book when I get about half way through the book. Once I know how it is going to end, I happily finish the book. I was just teasing.

Luanne Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 I try not to check on suspicious noises as it's often a bear. ... for bears I mean ... they have been known to come down into town and climb people's trees and sit on their front porches ... I wonder if that is just a Colorado thing or if other states have bears think they should live with them. ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elegantlion Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 I couldn't help thinking a horror version of Gollum was in the cornfields. :D:D And I swear that looked like the outside of a house used in an X-files episode. I thought the sheriff should have jumped on the hood of his car. Duh, if the ground is moving stand on something above ground so they don't feel your vibration. That's from the movie "Tremors" isn't it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeannie in NJ Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 but how boring would the shows be if no-one headed into the corn fields or down into the basement or anywhere else that they hear noises coming from? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Virginia Dawn Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 This is a poem I wrote the first time I had a corn patch. It was a very little one too. THE DRY CORN PATCH Hair rises on the nape of my neck When I hear whispering behind me Gossip, dark secrets, inside jokes I resist the urge to turn and look When I hear rustling behind me As one head bends to meet the next Foolishly, my ears begin to burn When I hear crackling behind me Rumors spread like raging fires I can no longer stand the pretense A glance of planned indifference Reveals the terrible truth to me... Expressionless innocence And natural purity What else did I expect to see? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firefly Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Yes, avoid the whispering corn fields! Didn't these folks ever watch Signs?? I don't know about you all, but even if in some bizzaro-world a weird noise DID lure me into a cornfield, if I came across some neon-blue ooze coming up from the ground I'd run like the dickens in the opposite direction. Oh, the second important lesson to be gleaned from the show is: if you can hear flies skittering across surfaces, make an appointment to see a bowling alley manager WITHOUT DELAY. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peek a Boo Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 LOL! we were walking on a paved trail through a big park and came to a spot where the trail opened out of the trees into a big field w/ high, tall grass. Oldest was 14 and leading at the time. He stopped at the edge of the field, looked at the unpaved trail, announced "This looks like a scene from a Bad Movie" and promptly turned around to take a different path through the trees on another paved trail. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truscifi Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 ... for bears I mean ... they have been known to come down into town and climb people's trees and sit on their front porches ... I wonder if that is just a Colorado thing or if other states have bears think they should live with them. ??? We have bears in parts of FL that walk on the highway and sometimes get into garbage but...sitting on the front porch? I think maybe that is a Colorado thing. Plus, our bears are a lot smaller than yours. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidsHappen Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Yeah, I think Stephen King started the whole corn field thing at least 30 years ago so I pretty much always go with the corn field bad hypothesis. Ditto for humungous empty hotels, and small towns. An awful lot of really wierd things happen in small towns in his books. Anyhow, I saw the Fringe on dvd the other day and seriously considered buying it. Is it any good? Worth buying? Is it better than X-files? I found that show so incredibly frustrating.

Impish Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 I can't watch those shows anymore. I have a tendency to yell at the tv, and then get ticked when they don't take my advice. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayne J Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 "Rats! Rats in the cornfield!" Mother Abigail, from The Stand. Yet another creepy cornfield.
