Fantastic documentary by Staten Island, New York natives Joshua Zeman and Barbara Brancaccio about the local Urban Legend of Cropsey. The story goes that a former mental patient lived at the abandoned Willowbrook Mental Institution and would come out at night and snatch children. As the filmmakers got older, they came to realize that the tale was just a story to scare the kids from hanging around the crumbling hospital buildings. However thing got creepy when a young girl did disappear and a drifter and former hospital worker was arrested for the crime. As the police investigated the crime, it came out that quite a few children have been reported missing over the years. Are the tales true? And does Staten Island have a real live Boogieman in its midst?
