THE STORY
It was the Halloween season of '94 and Harry and Jason heard the urban legend of Albino Boy on a morning
show on a local radio station. Legend has it there was an albino boy who was killed by a train. So now
when you park your car on the road that crosses where the tracks used to be, the ghost of Albino Boy pushes your car towards
the tracks, seemingly uphill.
So Harry, Jason, and their friend Darrin went to see if the legend was true. Jason had his
camcorder to record the car being pushed uphill. They tried it and it worked! But skeptics Harry and Jason decided
to debunk the urban legend.
Darrin drove Harry's car down the road to get it out of the way. Meanwhile, Harry and Jason filmed
their experiments to show the hill was an optical illusion and the road actally did slope slightly towards the tracks.
And then a powder blue car pulled up.
With the camcorder still rolling from doing their experiments, an old man in the backseat opened his
car door and told them to leave. He proceeded to rant about how many people had been there recently trying
the urban legend and that people were shooting guns and causing havoc. The old man said he was going to have
the sheriff patrol the road again. But the old man's tone didn't set right with Jason.
During the old man's rant, Jason and Harry insisted they had no guns and were causing no problems.
The old man's buttons were finally pushed and he jumped out of the car and headed towards Jason. Jason threw
the camcorder to Harry and told him to "Film!" Then the driver of the car yelled at the
old man to get back in the car, they had to get to town. So the old man gave Jason a harsh stare and cowered back
into the car and they drove off.
When Harry and Jason told Darrin what he had missed, Jason mentioned it was all on video.
So they went home and watched it. It became a hit with family and friends. The audio was submitted to the radio station and played on the air. Jason recorded a couple of songs using sound clips from the video tape. And the rights
are still available for a made-for-TV movie if any studios are interested.
Long live Albino Boy!
