What are the scariest elements in Stephen King's 'Children of the Corn' short story?

Definitely. Children of the Corn originated from Stephen King's imagination. It showcases his trademark horror and suspense elements.

The main plot involves a couple who end up in a town dominated by a cult of children. These children worship 'He Who Walks Behind The Rows' and they carry out brutal acts in the name of this entity. The couple gets caught up in the horror of the situation as the children try to sacrifice them to their strange deity.

The scariest part is the concept of the mother - son creatures preying on the virgins. It's a very disturbing idea.

The scariest elements include the constant sense of being watched. The main character in 'The Boogeyman' always feels eyes on him, even when he can't see anything. Also, the unexplained noises and events in his house, like doors opening on their own. It creates a feeling of helplessness, which is very frightening in a horror story.

The unknown creatures in the mist are really scary. You don't know what they look like until they attack, which is terrifying.

One of his scariest short stories could be 'The Mist'. The sense of isolation and the unknown horrors lurking in the mist create a terrifying atmosphere. The characters are trapped in a supermarket, surrounded by the mist that holds all kinds of deadly creatures. The psychological tension as they try to figure out what to do and face their possible doom is truly spine - chilling.

The scariest element is the lawnmower man himself. His appearance and the way he moves are quite eerie.

I think 'Survivor Type' is extremely scary. It's about a man stranded on an island and the lengths he goes to in order to survive, including some truly gruesome acts. It makes you question how far a person can go when pushed to the brink, and the vivid descriptions add to the horror.

One of his scariest stories could be 'It'. The idea of a shape - shifting, child - killing entity that can take the form of your worst fears is truly terrifying. Pennywise the Dancing Clown is an iconic and frightening villain.

I'd say 'The Shining' is up there. The isolated hotel, the descent into madness - it's a terrifying ride. The way King builds up the tension and horror is masterful.
