News:: Maize's chatty corn and Russian teddy bear left me wanting more

Cornfields are an underrated pick for places that have the potential for bad and/or otherwise weird shit to happen. Sure, they aren't as ubiquitously ominous as abandoned hospitals or decrepit mansions, but cornfields have a long history of being places where the spooky and weird tango.

Children of the Corn taught the world that kids, if left unchecked, would spend their time playing in cornfields and summoning elder gods. Aliens -- or bored farmers -- have turned huge swaths of corn into stalky canvasses for artistic expression. Halloween season transforms unassuming rows of corn into veritable mazes where maniacs, ghouls, and other terrors lurk. Hell, even walking through a cornfield in broad daylight can be a traumatic experience since our squishy human flesh can be sliced by a rigid leaf with surprising ease.

Basically, outside of their food-providing purpose, there's nothing good about cornfields.
