devilinthebackyard.com As I was casually reading through the great list of books at
http://aglauranj.org/library/bookclub.html
I noticed this....
"Devil In The Backyard by W.J. Keeler"
That's Wes' book, right?
and being a google hound, I went searching and found......
http://www.devilinthebackyard.com/
It's mrleeds "sleepers" video, set-up like a movie preview with curtains and audience in silhouette (no Crow or Tom Servo, though, jk). I think that "sleepers" at youtube had 'backyard' as a tag.
When it's over, it goes to
http://www.devilinthebackyard.com/two.html
So, maybe the film crew in the Barrens are making a movie based on Wes' book?
Edit to add: I sent an email to Sam about the spelling of Neil Gaiman on the library site (from Gaman), I asked about Wes' book, and shared the above link with her.
Edit again: I just checked. It's approach that has 'backyard' as a tag.

This seems like we are being steered in a new direction. I
am of the oppinion
know that the good ole' Jersey Devil will play a role in this somehow, time to read up on him?
At least I know where the name Mr. Leeds comes from
http://theshadowlands.net/jd.htm wrote:
The first thing that ties the legends together is the name "Leeds". Whether the mothers name was Leeds or the birth place was Leeds Point, all of the stories include the name Leeds. Alfred Heston, the Atlantic County Historian, believes that the devil could be a Leeds or a Shrouds baby. He discovered that a Daniel Leeds opened land in Great Egg Harbor, NJ, in 1699. His family lived in Leeds Point. He also discovered a Samuel Shrouds, Sr. came to Little Egg Harbor, NJ, in 1735 and lived right across the river from the house of Mother Leeds. The 3rd fact ties in the Burlington story with the others stories. Professor Fred MacFadden of Coppin State College, Baltimore, found that a "devil" was mentioned in writings from Burlington as early as 1735. He also indicated that the word Burlington was used to was the word used to names the area from the city of Burlington to the Atlantic Ocean. This means that the name that is now used for the birthplace such as Leeds point or Estelville, could be the same place referred to in the Burlington Legend.

The IP is very different, and I don't have a Silvermembership to research the previous WHOis data, but this is the same nameserver as other CTW sites.

The DITB website has been modified (16 June).
Quote:
The Pine Barrens of New Jersey are a mystery even to those who live right along its edges, and have remained so for generations. How have they remained shrouded in darkness for so long, and what secrets do the Pine Barrens really hold?
Who is the child? Meaghan?
You can download the Figures and approach videos (Sleeps still just opens & plays for you).

I had a thought that it was the child version of Sarah that popped up in the first CTW, but it was just something that crossed my mind.

Eh, Kona, you just lost me. where are you getting a child from the main page of DITB?
The figure in the fetal pisition looks more like a Farnkenstein's monster, given the number of fractures/suture lines/pieces it is divided into...

Start at the basic page: www.devilinthebackyard.com
There you get that child's face looking left and right, and WESSON underneath it. You click on it and then you get the DITB index (main) page.

OK I just thought that was one of the Wesson Team members. A young adult and not a child.

[UPDATE] July 19th Appears to be a new starting page.
Appears as two cell phones with direct links to Mr Leed's videos and back to Wesson Studios.

I'm not sure if this is important, but the way the videos are ordered in the cell phones is different from the order mrleeds uploaded them
MrLeeds uploads:
1 - Sleepers
2 - Chased
3 - approach
4 - chasing
5 - Fear
6 - Dark Figure
7 - Figures
8 - Devil teaser
9 - History
10 - What if?
11 - Devil in the Backyard
Phone numbers:
1 - chased
2 - approach
3 - chasing
4 - fear
5 - dark figure
6 - figures
1 - teaser
2 - history
3 - what if? (note that the path for this particular video is different from the others)
4 - trailer1 = Devil in the Backyard
5 - sleepers

im not sure if it means anything but when you view the movies with the theatre background there are a bunch of "spaces" you can select in the background. Curiously I viewed the source and it seems these blank space contain a number of different fonts, weird. There is only one line of text for the name of the movie so there is too many fonts for it to be that.
