Music plays a haunting role in Ryan Coogler’s 2025 horror hit Sinners, where sound serves as a conduit not just to the divine, but to something far darker.
But long before the film’s release, the Pine Barrens of New Jersey had its own tale of supernatural music. In this talk, Pine Barrens historian Paulie Wenger explores the life and lore of Sammy Giberson, the legendary fiddler whose talent was said to rival (and perhaps even outmatch) the Devil himself.
Join us for a journey through backwoods ballads, ghostly gigs, and the enduring power of music to stir both the soul and the shadows.
