Is randall flagg he who walks behind the rows

I've heard that there's an implication in one of the novels (I'll look through Children of the Corn to see if it's there when I have the time) or other material that "He Who Walks Behind the Rows" is implied or stated to be Randall Flagg. Is this true?

I'm getting back into the series just now, so I wouldn't know this, nor have I actually heard the reasoning aside from "He Who Walks Behind the Rows" (which sounds kind of faulty, imo), he has the power to pull this off, and that Nick Andros apparently had a dream about them being the same being.

He Who Walks Behind the Rows is implied to be Flagg, but it's never been confirmed by WoG (unlike Flagg's other more ambiguous aliases, like Richard Farris in Gwendy's Button Box), and there's no definitive scene that shows them to be the same being.

Until King says they're the same person outright, I don't think we can comfortably scale HWWBtR to Flagg, or vice-versa.

Ok, thank you. Feel free to close this.

Stephen King’s Children of the Corn story and its movie adaptations feature the villain He Who Walks Behind the Rows, a deity with a devoted cult. Children of the Corn is a 10-movie franchise, a fact that’s honestly kind of puzzling. Just about every entry into the series is bad, but for whatever reason, they just keep arriving every few years. Clearly, someone is watching them, and the series has a following of devoted fans, despite how boring a franchise it appears to be on the surface.

Now, that’s not to say that there’s no good to be had. The original 1984 Children of the Corn film is a minor classic, featuring a great score, good casting, and some creepy scenes. 1995 sequel Children of the Corn 3: Urban Harvest is also a silly but fun time with a charismatic villain and an awesome monster massacre. The Children of the Corn movies also sport an interesting big bad in He Who Walks Behind the Rows, albeit one that’s rarely depicted in a visual way.

He Who Walks Behind the Rows is primarily content to let his worshipers do his dirty work, and instills in his congregation a fervent belief that with adulthood comes corruption. Is he right? It doesn’t really matter when he’s got a cult of murderous corn kids on his side.

He Who Walks Behind The Rows Origin & Powers Explained

As with many deities, it’s not entirely clear how or by who He Who Walks Behind the Rows was created. According to Stephen King’s short story, his influence was first felt in 1964, the year when He Who Walks Behind the Rows’ cult of kids formed and massacred Gatlin, Nebraska’s adults. Notably, the film version updates this to 1980, just a few years before the rest of the story is set. Originally, the rule was that anyone who reached the age of 19 had to be sacrificed to He Who Walks Behind the Rows, but over the course of King’s prose, evil child preacher Isaac announces that it’s been lowered to 18.

The extent of He Who Walks Behind the Rows powers and abilities aren’t entirely clear, but they seem to be basically limitless, provided one is within the area he controls. He Who Walks can control any aspect of the corn fields surrounding Gatlin that it calls home, and use them to kill people. He also exerts a strong mental influence over his congregation, with most blindly obeying his orders, and he can also possess them directly. The deity is also shown to be able to resurrect the dead for his own use, and take various forms, such as sinister clouds in the first Children of the Corn film, and a pretty cool (albeit somewhat silly looking) Lovecraftian tentacle monster in Children of the Corn 3, pictured above.

He Who Walks Behind the Rows’ evil is also not limited to Gatlin, as seen over the course of the film series. His followers can uproot and re-plant his corrupted corn just about anywhere, and with it the dark god’s influence spreads. It’s unclear if He Who Walks Behind the Rows can actually be killed, as it looks to be vanquished at the end of just about every Children of the Corn movie, yet always manages to return for the next one. A popular fan theory suggests that He Who Walks Behind the Rows is just another guise of The Stand villain Randall Flagg, but that’s so far unconfirmed.

Interesting fight.

We never got to see He Who Walks Behind the Roses feats until Children Of The Corn 666 Issscs Return.............

He Who Walks Behind The Rows is a Human form. Hes like a version of the Antichrist.

With his Mind, he forced a female cop to shoot herself.

He was able to make his body go up a wall while he was killing Isaac. He Who Walks Behind The Rows got killed in an explosion.

However, Pennywise in so many ways has different abiliies, he mind warps, he can teleport, he can stay as a spiritual form. Pennywise IT made his face show in the moon and up high in he Sewers.

The Only weakness IT has is hes a Spider who works through illusions, if He Who Walks Behind The Rose has no idea that Pennywise is a Spider, then he has no way of killing him, plus the kids were gifted when they defeated Pennywise as the Spider. The rock that Bevy hit Pennywise with was the gift of good........

I would say in a good fight Pennywise has this.
