Cropsey

Friday, June 4 - Saturday, July 17, 2010

On Staten Island, the tale of CROPSEY — a bogeyman who abducts children — warns kids to beware strangers. But when a 13-year-old vanished in 1987, locals feared the stories were true. Decades later, two filmmakers investigate a drifter tied to five missing children and, in the island’s forgotten underbelly, uncover a reality more terrifying than any urban legend.
