Weird NJ
Weird NJ newsletter and magazine
Sceurman started the original Weird NJ in the early 1990s as a newsletter circulated to friends that featured local news items, historical anecdotes, and in particular legends and folk tales little known beyond the locality concerned.
After a story about the newsletter was published in the Bergen Record in 1992, people began to write asking for copies, so Sceurman decided to staple together the first three newsletters and sent it out as the first issue of Weird NJ. (According to Sceurman the 52nd person to write in was Moran, with whom he decided to enter into partnership.)
As successive editions of the magazine were published, readers began sending Sceurman and Moran undocumented "weird tales" from communities across New Jersey. Their initial assumption "that every town in the state had at least one good tale to tell" proved a gross underestimation. Notable subjects included reclusive colonies of albinos and evil cult sacrifices in the woods.

Introduction to Weird NJ – Meet creators, Mark S & Mark M, the men behind the magazines, books & TV
"The Weird N.J. newsletter started in 1993, self-published and sent out to just a few subscribers who somehow got ahold of our mailing address...One might think of a “weird” site as something mysterious, possibly forbidden and better off left alone for others to trespass on. There have always been “Dead Man’s Curves” and places associated with local legends that come and go with generations. Fortunately for New Jersey, almost every town has their own unique brand of weirdness."

MarK Moran- Co-writer For WeirdNj Magazine & Beyond
E.p. #31 Mark Moran is the co-writer for Weird Nj magazine. Weird NJ (sometimes abbreviated WNJ) is a semi-annual magazine that chronicles local legends, purported hauntings, ghost stories, folklore, unusual places or events, and other peculiarities in New Jersey. The magazine originated in 1989 as a newsletter sent to friends by Mark Moran and Mark Sceurman, but as it grew in popularity, it became a public magazine published twice a year. It spawned a series of books called Weird US, which chronicle oddities from individual states in the United States aside from New Jersey, which in turn led to a television series that aired on the History Channel.

Weird NJ
Weird NJ newsletter and magazine
Sceurman started the original Weird NJ in the early 1990s as a newsletter circulated to friends that featured local news items, historical anecdotes, and in particular legends and folk tales little known beyond the locality concerned.
After a story about the newsletter was published in the Bergen Record in 1992, people began to write asking for copies, so Sceurman decided to staple together the first three newsletters and sent it out as the first issue of Weird NJ. (According to Sceurman the 52nd person to write in was Moran, with whom he decided to enter into partnership.)
As successive editions of the magazine were published, readers began sending Sceurman and Moran undocumented "weird tales" from communities across New Jersey. Their initial assumption "that every town in the state had at least one good tale to tell" proved a gross underestimation. Notable subjects included reclusive colonies of albinos and evil cult sacrifices in the woods.
Fans of Weird NJ also showed up and lined up for an appearance by publishers MarkMoran and Mark Sceurman, who cheerfully signed books and magazines and took selfies with the customers ... Sceurman said.
M ... Many of these myths were explored in MarkMoran and Mark Sceurman’s iconic book Weird N.J., which is currently being adapted for television ... ....
...Mark Sceurman that's been chronicling the strange and unusual since 1993, is being developed as a potential live-action horror/comedy series by Sony Pictures Television, Deadline reported on Monday.
