The first film in the series to go straight to video, Children of the Corn 4 is also considered to be a stand alone film, as the plot has nothing to do with the Children of the Corn name. In this film, several children in a small town become possessed under the command of a wrongfully murdered child preacher named Jociah who seeks revenge on the town that killed him. The kids assume the identities of dead children from that town's history, and attempt to resurrect Jociah from the dead.

While the film may seem unrelated to any of the films, according to IMDB.com it was revealed by director Greg Spence that a crucial deleted scene features two characters telling Naomi Watts that the children called Jociah by another name: "He Who Walks Behind The Rows".
