I hope you noticed that 1, 5, and 6 are not documentaries.
I used to watch so many because the international tv channel plays (used to play?) them every Sunday night. I just don't remember the names.
Have you seen Earthlings?
It has been on my imdb watchlist. I need to!
Not for the faint of heart. Be warned.
I've seen Earthlings and I found it very disturbing which I believe is the point. The fur trade part if you noticed is where Joaquin didn't have his voice-over narration at the critical time. My guess is because it was too gruesome to even talk about. Chills the heart.
That sounds like a challenge.

I'm going to watch it alone.
You've been warned. But do it at night for full effect. And let's hear a report back : D
[MENTION=20955]johnnyyukon[/MENTION], I've finished Cropsey. While I can say I enjoyed it as it fits my taste and it was well executed, I was far from being disturbed or scared. The case itself is disturbing of course, I cannot deny that.
The occult reference was an interesting bit, especially to me, I don't know how many documentaries surrounding this area I've seen.
Overall, a good find! Thank you for leading me to it.
Yet I've been exposed to far more disturbing and hard to watch works that Cropsey was an easy watch.
Nice!!
More disturbing documentaries? Please do share.
Any documentary about Richard Kuklinski is pretty interesting/dark.
But this one, what I found so disturbing was the Geraldo Rivera led investigation of Willowbrook. The conditions of Willowbrook State School. 6,000 mentally disabled people in a building only designed for 4,000. These people, it seemed, had more or less been discarded by their parents and were literally living in squalor. Physical/Sexual abuse, outbreaks of hepatitis. Robert Kennedy literally describing them as living in "cages."
The eventual shut down, and abandonment of this hospital. The tunnel system beneath it.
Not to mention all of the missing, mentally disabled children that went missing. And the one whose body they found. And then Andre Rand. The pedophile that worked at Willowbrook before it was shut down and who was connected to and convicted of murder of all the missing children.
And how he would break down and drool on himself when the video of the Rivera tapes were shown. Like he was remembering something fucked up (or he was acting).
That would be one fucked up place to go to at night.

It's been three years since I've seen it, I don't remember that part. I do remember being really affected after seeing the chicks debeaked and the dolphins bleeding while children walked past casually.
Do you think that this place influenced the second season of American Horror Story?
Although there is probably another place it has already been mentioned as being influenced by.
