  • Nickelodeon's first original Halloween movie, "Cry Baby Lane", never aired on the network after its October 2000 premiere. Was the film banned as many believe, or is there more to the story? In this video I explore not only the lore surrounding Cry Baby Lane, but also the history of horror programming on Nickelodeon.

    you explained it in the best way possible. people went in with huge expectations because of its history but you have to remember this was a made for TV movie for nickelodeon, targeted towards children. it’s not bad, but you can see it was made for a younger demographic and several of those who were disappointed have simply grown up.

    IIRC, they also aired it in April 2019 (on one of the offshoot channels if not Nick proper) for their 40th anniversary. That’s when I saw it for the second time.
    That all being said, The main reason they didn’t hear it again was probably the cardinal rule of horror movies; they’re just not a scary the second time around. Plus, remember that the turn of the century meant all the network executives were getting so ratings conscious that everything had to be formulaic, so all of the unique, out of the box stuff got put back on the shelf.

    It has been confirmed by a Nickelodeon representative that the reason it was never aired again wasn't because it was too scary it was simply forgotten about.

    I actually vaguely remember this airing. I was a college freshman at the time(I’m 41 now for anyone wondering), and I was at Vincennes University watching Nickelodeon when it came on. I watched it for a few minutes, and I lost interest and turned it off. Part of the reason is I’ve never been a fan of Nickelodeon live-action shows, although I have seen a few episodes of “Are you afraid of the dark” and thought it was ok. I don’t remember anybody saying anything about it or about any so-called controversy. I just assumed people like me tuned it and found it uninteresting. I have sense watched it here on RUclips, and I found it to be decent.
