In "Children of the Corn," when a child turns 18, they are no longer considered a part of the cult led by the entity known as "He Who Walks Behind the Rows." This transition marks a significant change, as the children in the rural town of Gatlin are raised to worship this malevolent force and sacrifice adults to it. Upon turning 18, individuals are seen as expendable and often face dire consequences, leading to their potential sacrifice to maintain the cult’s power and appease the entity.

At the end of "Children of the Corn," the protagonist, Burt, confronts the cult of children led by the supernatural entity known as He Who Walks Behind the Rows. After a tense struggle, Burt manages to destroy the entity by setting fire to the cornfield, which disrupts the children’s hold over their community. However, the film concludes on an unsettling note, as it leaves the fate of the surviving characters ambiguous, hinting that the evil may not be entirely vanquished.
