The maze seems easy to maneuver through when you first get in, but once inside this massive, 63-acre corn creation, it's pretty tough to get out.

"When it's dark, all you see is corn," said Matt Cooley, owner of the maze.

A cornfield can be a field of dreams or your worst nightmare if you get lost and can't find your way out.

"He took the movie out and I kinda looked over and got a glance," his dad Elmont Place said.

It was supposed to be a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game. Instead, it was "World's Largest C----: Girls Love Really Big D----," which featured a disc as racy as the title would imply, and nothing a parent wants their 4-year-old to see.
