Cropsey: The Urban Legend

Every town has its own urban legends, but Staten Island is home to one of New York's most disturbing unsolved mysteries that blurs the line between legend and reality. Filmmakers Joshua Zeman and Barbara Brancaccio decide to investigate after discovering eerie similarities between news stories of children gone missing around the abandoned Willowbrook State School for mentally disabled children and tales they heard in their youth about an escaped mental patient who preyed on kids. As they dive into the mystery and begin to separate fact from fiction, the filmmakers discover the horrifying truth surrounding convicted kidnapper Andre Rand and several missing children.
