A brief summary of what we know so far (courtesy of Anon):
Oct. 28th 2000, Nickelodeon showed a film called "Cry Baby Lane".
-It was super scary according to everyone that saw it, Nick never replayed it, people assume because of complaints about how scary/violent it was from parents.
-We try to find copies, NO ONE can find a copy anywhere, which is really freaky because it was a holiday film from only 10 years ago, and there are way older TV Specials that are easy to find.
-It exists because there is an IMDB page, a few clips on YouTube, and other information about it, and people DID see it, but other than that it's like Nickelodeon took down everything about it.
-People suspect that there is something creepy at play, and are trying to track it down to see what's so scary about it.
-We've so far been able to track down (maybe) one copy that is missing the first 15 minutes, but the guy who owns it wants $30 for the tape, and it might not even be real.
-We are now trying to contact Nick PR to see if we can get more information on it.

The guy who claims to have a copy of this film is this guy here:

I have made several efforts to request proof of legitimacy from him but have had no success.
Earlier I rang all possible contact numbers from Nickelodeon HQ but it seems that I was too late in contacting them but I shall try again tomorrow mid-afternoon.
Contact details are here : http://biz.viacom.com/sites/nickelodeonpress/NICKELODEON/Pages/contacts.aspx
Please feel free to comment with any other information you have found as I am aware that many of you are hunting via rare VHS dealers and the likes.
I will update as we know more.
Good luck!
I actually had gotten an email from Nickelodeon (after I contacted them through the Viacom website)
ReplyDeleteI unfortunately forgot to save the email, but I remember it mostly.
I pretty much told them that I had seen the movie, as well as my sister and my mom, and I asked them not to deny its existence, as they are known to do.
The reply I received was pretty much this:
While there is currently no plan for a home release of this film, we will consult appropriate staff about a release of the film "Cry Baby Lane."
Thank you for contacting Nickelodeon Studios.
