There's just something about a field of corn that spells creepy. Maybe it's the fact that corn stalks grow very tall and seem to go on endlessly, preventing anyone who happens to be wandering among them from seeing more than a few feet ahead at a time. Also, each stalk looks exactly the same, so good luck finding your way out. Combined with the fact that they are only found in rural areas, this means that you could be out in the middle of nowhere and no one would see you disappear, or even be around to hear you scream on the off chance that you are not alone. If characters find themselves in a cornfield, they will almost always get lost. Frantic chases through cornfields are popular in the Horror genre, and double points if it happens to be at night. Note that despite the trope name, scenes like this don't necessarily have to involve corn.note Which is a good thing, as precisely which cereal crops are defined as "corn" differs between America and Europe — in Europe, corn typically refers specifically to sweetcorn, a variety of maize, with other varieties being referred to as maize, while in America there's usually no distinction, with all varieties of maize being referred to as corn. Long grass is also popular, especially in wilderness settings, and this trope can apply to other kinds of vegetation where it's hard to see anything below neck level. Compare The Lost Woods, where non-domestic plant life is overwhelming or spooky. This is also the place to find Scary Scarecrows or Crop Circles. May overlap with Corny Nebraska if the creepy cornfields are in Nebraska. Compare Hedge Maze and The Lost Woods. |

A chase through a corn field takes place a few times in Outlast II. Although there are pathways in between certain sections, along with trash cans and pools of water to (temporarily) hide in, it doesn't make it any less terrifying when you see the flashlights of Knoth's followers coming from somewhere to hunt you down. At least their visibility isn't any better than yours. | |

Averted in Reaper Man, where the term "corn" actually refers to wheat.note "Corn" in general means any cereal grain, or indeed anything small and edible, as in "peppercorn" and "corned beef" where the "corns" involved are actually the large grains of rock salt used in the process; outside North America, the word used to refer to the kind of corn Americans usually mean when they say "corn" is "maize". This doesn't stop many American readers from getting a mental image of Death toiling in a creepy cornfield when they read this Discworld novel. | |

The Simpsons: When Marge went to a therapist to deal with the roots of her fear of flying, one of her childhood memories was of her mother showing her a cornfield, only for a crop duster to show up and fire at them. In another episode, Homer gets lost in a corn maze. He tries to just shove his way through the hedges, but discovers they're backed up by a fence—which is electrified. |

In Batman Doom, one such maze pops up near the beginning of the level with the Scarecrow boss fight. It's full of gangsters and even spotting the passages is a problem, though the automap helps. Once you're past this part, the rest of the level is thankfully free of confusing view-obfuscating maize. | |

Dead by Daylight: The various Coldwind Farm maps are colloquially known as "corn maps" because they all have one trait in common along with decrepit structures and mutilated cattle — fields of corn in the open spaces. These cornfields tend to favor Survivors and their Third-Person Viewpoint over Killers, who are locked in First-Person view and are thus more likely to have their view obstructed by it. | |

In Qwerpline there is a corn maze, often confusedly referred to as the maize corn, in which several visitors and search parties have disappeared, and people are warned to bring supplies in case they are lost. It's allowed to stay open though. It turns out they're falling into the "rum tunnels" smugglers dug under the town during Prohibition. | |

Left 4 Dead 2 has a section set in a dense field of sugarcane between a decrepit sugar mill and a gas station in the fifth campaign, "Hard Rain". You have to cross it twice: the first time is during the day, cutting off the visibility you're used to when the sun is out, and making it very easy to bump into one of the many Witches in the level. The second time, you backtrack through it in the middle of a hurricane storm, so while the sugarcane cuts your vision to a few feet, the storm cuts your hearingnote both versions are a very popular ambush zone in Versus. And while the downpour has washed away the scent of sugar that brought out so many Witches before, a few can still spawn, and as it's dark, they're stationary and their aggro range is larger. Also, that section is frequently a Tank spawn point. The only boon the survivors get is a section of pipe that leads back to the main ruins and makes traveling by hopping on it faster than slogging through the water. | |

In the Invader Zim fic The Corn Maze, Dib drags Gaz along with him to investigate reports of ghostly activity at the titular tourist trap. After sneaking in at night and finding Zim is placating GIR by letting him make crop circles, they decide that that's the cause of the supposed haunting and decide to leave... only to find that they can't, every path suddenly leading back to the middle of the maze. The siblings team up with a reluctant Zim to find a way out of the maze, which suddenly seems to go on forever and is now full of Scary Scarecrows which are stuffed with human remains. It eventually turns out that a demon of some kind is inhabiting the maze, and trapping people for its amusement. | |

The Lost World: Jurassic Park uses the tall grass variant. Doesn't make much of a difference, though, 'cuz everyone knows that Everything's Scarier with Velociraptors! | |

Johnny Bravo, in its episode "Johnny, Real Good" (a parody of It's A Good Life) has this as one of the torments that the Reality Warper boy inflicts upon Johnny: teleportation to an actual cornfield (not really that horrible, but still a minor annoyance for Johnny who has to walk back home), which becomes a Running Gag. At the end of the episode, he teleports sleeping Johnny in his bed onto a lonely island — covered with maize. | |

A villain in the Hack/Slash miniseries My First Maniac used a cornfield (formerly belonging to a farmer he killed) as a hunting ground, having turned it into a deadly maze. It's full of traps and surrounded by barbed wire, and nails through the stalks that rip into anyone who tries to just run through them. | |

The game Maize begins with you waking up in the middle of a cornfield, and traversing it becomes one of your initial goals while sifting through the puzzles and dealing with the odd talking corn. | |

In In the Tall Grass, the protagonists hear a cry for help coming from a field of tall grass, and decide to investigate - but they quickly realize that the field is magical, and it's almost impossible to get out of it once you get in. | |

The Jerome Bixby short story "It's a Good Life", where the Reality Warper Anthony Fremont literally buries people who do anything he doesn't like in the cornfield behind his family's home. Served as the basis for a memorable episode of The Twilight Zone. | |

Left 4 Dead "Blood Harvest", the fourth campaign of the first game, has a cornfield in the last level right before the finale. Survivors suffer from very reduced visibility while in the fieldnote the fog and render distance even encroach closer to accentuate the effect and, as you walk by, you inevitably disturb a murder of crows, and the noise attracts a horde. Left 4 Dead 2 has a section set in a dense field of sugarcane between a decrepit sugar mill and a gas station in the fifth campaign, "Hard Rain". You have to cross it twice: the first time is during the day, cutting off the visibility you're used to when the sun is out, and making it very easy to bump into one of the many Witches in the level. The second time, you backtrack through it in the middle of a hurricane storm, so while the sugarcane cuts your vision to a few feet, the storm cuts your hearingnote both versions are a very popular ambush zone in Versus. And while the downpour has washed away the scent of sugar that brought out so many Witches before, a few can still spawn, and as it's dark, they're stationary and their aggro range is larger. Also, that section is frequently a Tank spawn point. The only boon the survivors get is a section of pipe that leads back to the main ruins and makes traveling by hopping on it faster than slogging through the water. |
