Cry Baby Lane – Updated

Cry Baby Lane

*UPDATE* – Thanks to a few loyal Redditors, a few mistakes that I had made in my initial post have now been corrected.

With Nickelodeon finally coming to their senses and doing a late night viewing of all their classic 90s shows, I think it is only appropriate to add this to the mix.

Cry Baby Lane is probably one Nickelodeon movie you’ve never heard of…or seen before.  In fact, there are not many people around who actually can say that they have seen this movie, and good luck finding a copy, because so far there is only 1 known copy that is slowly making it’s way around the internet.

It was found on an old VHS tape by a Reddit user named firesaladpeach.

So what is it about this movie that makes it so hard to find?  Why is there so little information about it on the internet, and hardly any video clips?  When will Nickelodeon stop goofing off and answer everyone’s questions about this movie?

Here’s the story behind Cry Baby Lane

It was a horror film to air in the month of October in 2000.  The story revolves around One-Sheet and Carl and their love for horror stories.  They hang around with the town undertaker and listen to him tell them stories of terror.  One night, the undertaker, Mr. Bennett, tells them the tale about a local farmer whose wife gave birth to siamese twins, one being good in nature…the other evil.  The farmer was so ashamed of these children that he locked them up in a room until they eventually got sick, and died.  The farmer sawed the twins in half, burying the good half in the cemetery, and the bad half in a shallow grave near the house.  This intrigues One-Sheet and Carl, and they decide to hold a seance over the good twin’s grave…only to awaken the bad twin.

The film was made to be mildly scary, and appear almost as a long, awesome, episode of Are You Afraid of the Dark?  However, on October 28th, the one and only airing this movie had, it was deemed by parents to be so graphic and disturbing that they complained to Nickelodeon the next day. It was never aired again.

In fact the movie was banned from the airwaves by Nickelodeon, banned from every being released on VHS/DVD, and Nickelodeon themselves have actually denied any knowledge of this film ever even existing.

Thanks to  firesaladpeach, we now have this proof that Cry Baby Lane was real…

    Making its way around torrent sites? The person who found the tape hasn’t even decided if she’ll put it online yet. Where are you getting this from? The story is interesting enough without making things up….

    “The best part! Once it is finally uploaded, feel free to download the crap out of this movie…since Nickelodeon denies it’s existance, how can they be mad that you download it?”

    This would not hold up as any kind of defense. Feel as free to download this as you would for any other movie. No more, no less.

    Also lol @ “They are slowly making the uploads on torrent sites.”

    Uh, idk if the poster changed his original post (but I am assuming that he did…) because She stated she was unsure a while ago, but as of 8/10/11 (yesterday atm), she has begun working with others on converting the original VHS footage to DVD to load onto youtube. so idk.
