Be afraid, be very...something or other

I'm working on another project that I'm going to unveil in the not too distant future, but in doing research and background for it, I discovered that there are, not including last year's made-for-TV-remake, seven films for Children of the Corn.  Doesn't that seem a wee bit excessive to anyone else?  It was originally a thirty page short story about children going nuts a la Lord of the Flies and some creepy dark thing instituting some of that "old time" religion in the youngins.  Seven films.
