There are a variety of haunted stories about Munger Road. And kids from the area have been heading there for years to check it out–and presumably scare the bejeezus out of each other.
One legend involves the story of a little girl (or boy, or a school bus of kids, depending on who's telling the story) who was hit by a train at a railroad crossing.
The legend states that if you park your car by the tracks, roll down the windows and put baby powder on the bumper, little hands will appear. Those are supposedly the hands of the little girl trying to push the car away from the tracks.Click Here to Watch MUNGER ROAD online Free On MegavideoOther stories involve a "ghost train" that has been rumored to ride on the railroad.
Nick Smith told the St. Charles Patch last year that the movie is more a thriller than a ghost story. He told the Patch that he always appreciated the simplistic ghost stories told around a campfire.
A creepy urban myth has become the inspiration for a local filmmaker's first feature movie–and it was shot in the western suburbs.
St. Charles native Nick Smith returned to use his parents home as a base of operations for production of "Munger Road"–which, according to local lore, is a haunted road in Bartlett.
The film hits movie theaters on Sept. 30. Smith and his crew spent last year filming the movie on location around St. Charles.
The movie takes place the night before a big festival in town–when a group of teens choose the wrong night to explore Munger Road.
Something terrible happens to the group has they come upon the spot. Then the police are called to figure out what happened to the kids and track down some sort of menace as thousands of people converge for the annual Scarecrow Festival in St. Charles.
You will have to excuse me, I'm not big on certain American towns, but I believe Munger Road is situated in Bartlett, Illinois and apparently some crazy stuff has been going on down there. If you search for Munger Road on YouTube, there is a slew of footage from apparently, regular people who witnessed some crazy s**t.
Enough of whether this is true or not, here we have the film Munger Road which is written & directed by Nicholas Smith. Not much is known about this found-footage flick except it focuses on a couple of cops who begin a search for these missing kids.
Hold the phone—Saucy Josh is having major déjà vu. The problem is, when you've seen as much Horror as I have (and smoke as much weed as I do) you sometimes forget film titles. But I'm certain I've already seen another movie about dead kids pushing stalled cars off of train tracks. Are there any astute aficionados out there who can help jog my memory?
Also, the plot for Munger Road seems extremely similar to Horror classic: A killer who returns to his hometown on a night when lots of potential victims will be out after dark? Sounds like John Carpenter's Halloween to me!
