Cry Baby Lane Found!

Hey Josh here bringing you some interesting news on a long since speculated urban legend. Cry Baby Lane was a film long speculated to be just an urban myth created by the Internet. But thanks to Reddit that's no longer the case.

The film has been tracked down by one of the few people in the world who recorded the film on VHS. For those of you who are too young to remember Cry Baby Lane was a film released on Nickelodeon for Halloween in the year 2000 which got a fair amount of complaints from parents who 's children and teenagers saw the film and found it too scary. The film was covered up so well and nearly forgotten about that people began to wonder if it was just an urban myth passed around to kids. For some people now the film may not look all that scary but imagine being a young teen before DVDs and online torrents where available to almost everyone.

Anyway the plot of the film is this:

Andrew and his older brother Carl enjoy listening to ghost stories that the local undertaker, Mr. Bennett, tells them. One night Bennett tells the tale of a local farmer whose wife gave birth conjoined twins, one being good-natured while the other was clearly evil. The farmer, ashamed of them, kept the twins locked in their room. Eventually the twins got sick and died together, so the farmer sawed them in half and buried the good twin in a cemetery and the bad twin in a shallow grave near the house. Later, Andrew and his friends decide to hold a seance in the cemetery where the good twin is buried, but they unintentionally awaken the bad twin instead. Gradually, the bad twin possesses nearly everyone in town, and it is up to young Andrew to stop him.

Carl Possessed

The film had a lot of dark tones to it.

- Raising the dead.
- Sawing conjoined twins in half.
- Being possessed by a ghost.
- Too many bad wrestling references.
- The same bass line that gets repeated throughout the film.


My point being the film was a big impact on audiences and left a lot of now adult viewers scarred for life. The film has been uploaded to YouTube and should be finding its way onto torrent sites soon enough which i don't have a problem with seeing as piracy has helped the world see this otherwise lost film again. If Nickelodeon had sense and the original tape they should be working on a DVD release or even an airing next Halloween.

Anyway find the film. Watch it. Enjoy it.
