Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Borchers produced the 1984 'Children of the Corn' and later remade it himself in 2009 for Syfy—a rare case of a producer revisiting his own franchise.
New World Pictures, where Borchers cut his teeth, was founded by Roger Corman and became the training ground for future legends like James Cameron and Ron Howard.
