Spoilers ahead
Growing up in Staten Island, filmmakers Joshua Zeman and Barbara Brancaccio were deeply influenced by the haunting urban legend known as “Cropsey.” This eerie tale was concocted to warn children away from the decrepit remains of the Willowbrook Mental Institution, suggesting that an escaped patient roamed the nights, ready to capture unsuspecting kids. The legend described Cropsey as a sinister figure, often wielding a hook as a hand or a bloody axe, which sent chills through the community.
