You can’t speak. You can’t move. But this opens you up to the influence. And it breaks down your defenses. Trust me. All right? You’re gonna love it.

After attending a funeral in Iowa the other day, I was reminded of this really creepy running joke/myth that exists in the area I was in. So every house has one of those metal barn stars, right? It's a cult. They all pay fees every year, and in turn the leader of the cult offers protection from whatever is hiding out in the corn fields behind town. My cousin and I always joke that the secret headquarters is in this weird round building by the water tower. Nobody knows what's actually in there.
I would read this story/watch this movie in a second, it’s such a good premise! There are so many weird symbols on barns that everyone seems to have and no one remembers buying, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they mean something that everyone has long forgotten either.
