Looks like somebody made a movie about Mrs Leeds 13th child, South Jersey's own "Jersey Devil"
Well, I have heard Jersey is hell on earth, so I suppose it makes sense that is where the devil lives.
In reply to aircooled :
Right, cause in that Charlie Daniels song the "devil went DOWN to Georgia" is implying he's from the north (Jersey)
The non-fictional origin story is interesting as well:

Sounds like the movie kind of riffs on that too.

Having driven on the Garden State Parkway, can confirm.
The legends were definitely part of the lore at the edges of the pinelands while I was growing up. Honestly legends probably just kept alive to induce scare-based cuddling.

He makes an appearance in a recent episode of What We Do In The Shadows as well.
