Line 32:
* [[The Dragon]]: Malachai acts as Isaac's Dragon, ready to kill and destroy at his behest.
** {{spoiler|Malachai also counts as [[The Starscream]]; since later in the movie he leads a revolution against Isaac.}}
* [[Dying Asas Yourself]]: Micah at the end of CotC2.
* [[Eye Scream]]: In the 2009 version, with corn husks.
* [[Evil Redhead]]: Malachai in the first film.
Line 44:
** Even the original starts with {{spoiler|a young boy attempting to escape the town, only to be killed and shoved out onto the road}}.
* [[It Got Worse]]: Year after year, He Who Walks Behind The Rows demands adults over a certain age to be sacrificed, and any time anyone in the community sins against him that age gets reduced. By the time the story begins there's only teenagers left. . .
* [[Lost in Thethe Maize]]: The Quintessential Example.
* [[Not Asas You Know Them]]: Malachai is far more loyal to Isaac in the remake than in the original. Burt is a Vietnam Vet in the remake and has frequent flashbacks. Vicky is black and a former anti-war activist. Isaac is also nine years old in the remake and is implied to be a new leader after the old one reached the "age of favor." Isaac is also harsher and more ruthless in the remake. For example, in the original he tolerates Job and Sarah's apostasy. Finally {{spoiler|Job and Sarah are merged into one character, who is killed by Burt while in a flashback. Joseph is implied to be the son of the original leader, he has his tie in his suitcase. In the original no such relation is suggested.}}
* [[Numbered Sequels]]
* [[Sinister Scythe]]
Line 51:
* [[Teens Are Monsters]]: The original group of "children" in the short story are actually in their teens when they kill the adults.
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: Burt in the original short story. {{spoiler|He dies.}}
* [[Town Withwith a Dark Secret]]
* [[Ultimate Evil]]: He Who Walks Behind The Rows. In the original short story, the implication is that his true identity is {{spoiler|Randall Flagg, Stephen King's meta-villain.}}
* [[What Happened to Thethe Mouse?]]: It's unknow what happened to Burt, Vicky, Job and Sarah after they escaped Gaitlin in the original movie, albeit the second movie does briefly mentioned that a couple (Burt and Vicky) went to Hemingford (a town near Gatlin) and told about Gaitlin and the cult.
