CROPSEY Gets Theatrical Release, New Teaser
Like many kids that grew up in Staten Island, directors Joshua Zeman and Barbara Brancaccio were told the story of Cropsey, a lunatic child-killer that escaped from Willowbrook. Cropsey was treated as an urban myth until four kids, all of whom suffered from a mental or physical disability, also turned up missing.
After the body of one the kids turned up, Andre Rand, a disturbed transient who worked at Willowbrook until it was shut down, was quickly identified as the main suspect. Rand was convicted of two of the murders. To this day, his crimes are shrouded in mystery because of the use of circumstantial evidence, dodgy witnesses and wild rumors of ritual child abuse and satanic shenanigans.
Cropsey presents interviews with family and friends of the victims, police officers who investigated the case, Rand's associates, and people who claimed to have been witnesses to or potential victims of Rand's crimes. Cropsey asks a lot of questions, and the answers (or lack of thereof) are very disturbing.
