WEIRD NJ presents THE DEVIL & DAISY DIRT: A Garden State Gothic Event @ SMODCASTLE CINEMAS! What could be more Jersey than that?
WITH: Weird NJ's Mark Moran & Mark Sceurman introducing the show and revealing/launching #64, their brand new Fall 2025 Issue (which won't be available in stores until the following week)! Plus freshly-tapped, ice cold beer on site, courtesy of Carton Brewing!
SPECIAL GUESTS: In addition to Mark & Mark of Weird NJ, writer/podcastor/paranormal sleuth Will Rogers (Blackwood, Earth Break, Guide to the Unknown, The Trouble w. Tessa) will emcee and Jersey Devil poet Kailey Tedesco will read a poem or two from her new book, Mother Devil, which will also be available for sale. And, who knows? Maybe Silent Bob himself will be there.
WHERE will you be when something cryptid this way comes? Don't miss the singular event Rue Morgue Magazine calls "a BADASS (caps theirs) vaudeville show," Joyce Carol Oates, the Queen of Northern Gothic, calls "Riveting" and "one-of-a-kind," and Weird New Jersey calls "the most original, Jersey-centric, and downright weird presentation in our state's theatrical history!"

THE DEVIL & DAISY DIRT is a folk horror, bluegrass campfire tale about the Jersey Devil with live music and an 8' puppet. Think Pine Barrens "Our Town" meets cryptid E.T., with a shoulder-shot Jersey Devil instead of a stranded extraterrestrial, deer hunters instead of federal agents, and a portal that opens above the Apple Pie Hill fire tower after a midnight lightning strike instead of an alien mothership shaped like a Christmas tree ornament. All backed by a high lonesome sound.
SMODCASTLE CINEMAS is Kevin Smith's childhood movie theater, which he purchased with friends to save from demolition. Smith's film, The 4:30 Movie, was shot on-location there in 2023. It functions as a shrine to Smith's career, hosting a variety of events, from cult classic screenings to midnight movies to bluegrass tall tales w. 8' puppets about the Jersey Devil!
