Biography
The child was one of the many children in Gatlin, when cult children murdered all of the town’s adults, as commanded by He Who Walks Behind The Rows in 1981. Sometime between then and 1984 his name was changed to a biblical name, “Joseph”. It is unknown whether or not he originally joined the cult, but it is implied that he did not when he tells Sarah and Job that he is going to flee and get help. After making them promise not to tell anyone, he runs through the cornfield, carrying a briefcase with him. However, Joseph is followed by Malachi, who slits his throat with a sword. Joseph, almost dead, stumbled onto the road where he was accidentally run over and killer by Burt and Vicky.
