==Plot==
Andrew (Jase Blankfort) and his older brother Carl (Trey Rogers) enjoy listening to ghost stories that the local undertaker, Mr. Bennett (Frank Langella), tells them. One night Bennett tells the tale of a local farmer whose wife gave birth to Siamese twins, one being good-natured while the other was clearly evil. The farmer, ashamed of them, kept the twins locked in their room. Eventually the twins got sick and died together, so the farmer sawed them in half and buried the good twin in a cemetery and the bad twin in a shallow grave near the house. Later, Andrew and his friends decide to hold a seance in the cemetery where the good twin is buried, but they unintentionally awaken the bad twin instead. Gradually, the bad twin possesses nearly everyone in town, and it is up to young Andrew to stop him.Cry Baby Lane Synopsis - Plot Summary - Fandango.comCry Baby Lane - detailsCry Baby Lane - MSN Entertainment – Movie Details

==Production==
The film was originally envisioned as $10 million theatrical release for Nickelodeon, but it was instead ordered to be a made-for-television movie with a budget of $800,000. The film was shot in the Village of Kingston in New Jersey in a little over twenty days with an extra day of shooting in Ohio for shots of the town. The director originally wanted for the role of the caretaker, but Nickelodeon insisted on in hopes that it would garner extra publicity.
==Controversy==
The film was intended to be only mildly scary and suitable for children, similar to Nickelodeon's own Are You Afraid of the Dark series. However, many parents allegedly found it to be too graphic and disturbing for their children, and complained to Nick the next day. As a result, Nickelodeon banned Cry Baby Lane from reairing and never released it on video (although bootlegs might exist). Supposedly, Nickelodeon has even gone so far as to publicly deny the movie's existence.http://www.blockbuster.com/browse/catalog/movieDetails/213613 Despite all of this, the film retains a small, but dedicated fanbase composed of nostalgic teenagers who vaguely remember seeing the movie as children.http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=147189756318 A fictitious accounthttp://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/Cry_Baby_Lane on the making of the movie has since parodied its status as a banned film and helped bring attention to it.
