This was one of the stories done in the movie version of Twilight Zone. Basically, what happened is that when the boy is born, the doctor was so aghast at the evil exuding from the creature that he was about to kill it. Protecting itself from the danger, the thing transmported itself and the town to another demision and kept these people there to serve him. Anything or anyone that irked him was sent to the cornfield, and in the short story they actually described what happens in the cornfield.
I know this is way off topic of the original post, but I always liked the original TZ and always felt that the stories dealt with "mutants" earlier than Marvel did.
I've always been amazed at what they could do in black-and-white medium with such a dearth of special effects. Could it be that intellectually challenging themes and good script writing are superior to technological sleight-of-hand?
