In a joint interview, the victims’ parents told the Washington Post (http://wapo.st/1ptrsTS) they visited the crime scene and saw no blood on the walls or ceiling. Police had removed a 6-by-5 foot piece of carpeting in one bedroom and a swath of vinyl flooring around the toilet had been cut. They said the limited amount of material removed from the apartment suggest the killings were confined to a small space.“ Did Matt Drudge abandon Twitter?

A manic or morbid Monday? War! What is a good far!? Absolutely nothing
It is what you make of it.. It seems humanity is making the worst of it regardless of where you look.. A collection and smattering of spatterings making headlines from the world at large..
There has been a dramatic escalation of violence in Iraq over the weekend as ISIS–or now ISIL (the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant)–has been accused of mass murder. The accusation makes it easy when they go online to brag about their mass murder.. There are images and grisly videos circulating the world wide web.. the entire planet can now see the barbaric nature with which ISIL/ISIS imposes Sharia Law. And now this: Iran is directly getting involved with the conflict while the United States contemplates what else it will do.. In the meantime all eyes are on the Baghdad Embassy where personnel are still housed and militants take over more areas, closing in on the city..At this point: 550 (or more?) Marines are on a warship in the Persian Gulf..
And of course there are some websites that argue the images are faked and photoshopped.. DUTCHSINSE paints a good picture that some may be, but not all are.. nor are all videos.. Sometimes “conspiracy” is shouted too often and too loudly..After all, let’s take a quick historical trip down amnesia lane .. Many are pointing out (rightly so) that the Bush adventure in Iraq was a bad move, few are speculating on how the recent movements by ISIS could actually be a product of the Obama Administration.. Lest we forget.. America’s allies are funding ISIS and so is America, too.. recent history tells us that it’s unwise to play our meager chess games in the Middle East. There’s never a victory..

Very sad news this weekend as the legendary Casey Kasem died at the age of 82–this after recent weeks of making the news as his family debated the proper way his life should end. At one point recently, Kasem seemingly vanished and a judge had to order him back… The voice of Shaggy and so many other characters put Kasem into our living rooms and lives every day. I will also smile when I hear the famed tape of Kasem flipping out.. Good show, Casey.x x x
Big bucks!! Starbucks is making some mighty big news today.. the company is offering its workers FREE COLLEGE TUITION!

Fatherly advice
When your child is three, don’t fret too much. Things will change, surely.. Attitudes change.. mood swings get intense.. But the love is still immense.
It’s amazing to have conversations with your son or daughter.. it’s unbelievable to fathom that they have opinions, tastes, wants, desires.. hopes.. and yes, fears. They see shadows and ponder the source, and hear sounds and wonder the location.. They fear what’s under the bed. But deep down, don’t you, too? Whether it’s the childlike reality or the modern day adult version, we still fear the unknown.I certainly do..Ayden is three, going on 30. Still over 20 months until he would start a traditional Kindergarten, but I fear that.I fear bullies and I fear violence. I hope we raise Ayden to be himself and listen to his own voice, instead of falling for peer pressure.. I hope my wife and I bring Ayden the best of the world but warn him of the worst..And I hope and pray to whatever God is above or below that the boy has a life worth remembering..Ayden made me a card at day care the other day. It was a paper cutout of a tie colored by him, with a note inside saying he loves me. He wrote his own name *with help* but was exceptionally proud of it.. I was too. I proudly hung it on the refrigerator (trying to find room around all of the other things he brought him for me and his mommy) ..To me Father’s Day is a day of practicality.. Love.. and abundant joy over having a child who hopefully looks up to you and always will.I plan on singing along with Ayden to songs from Phineas and Ferb episodes to celebrate. I hope we still can do such things when he’s 13 and 33.. -
Thursday strangeness.. but at least the ‘metrosexual’ is dead..
It’s mucky, murky, and muddy. Rain hasn’t let up recently here at HORROR REPORT home base, and with it comes intense humidity causing every part of your body to turn into Soylent Green. But that’s the summer–I wish I can find a state where the temperature is 70 all day with, and rainy at night at 50 degrees. Maybe that’s my heaven, if heaven exists..
Judging from the news, heaven is not a place on earth. The news.. You be the judge:
The story of Casey Kasem has been fascinating and mostly sad recently.. While now we know where he is, the chances of the world losing this icon is greater. Media reports now indicate that the star is near death … but it’s at the hands of his own family. Some of that have opted to stop giving Kasem food, water, and medication through his feeding tube. According to the family, Kasem had a wish prior in writing that he did not want to live under the conditions he is in now.. So with that, Kasem’s demise is coming. A life will be over.. but his voice will live on in infamy. Each and every time you watch SCOOBY DOO.

After all these years and the mighty western invasion, the liberated Iraq is completely disintegrating again.. Anarchy is the reigning champion now in the ‘free’ nation and most of the war gains are lost. Perhaps most delicate issues are left classified. I could only imagine the Nightmare on Pennsylvania Avenue now as the Obama Administration has to grapple with what to do–should they let it spiral more or try something militarily? The President wanted to be the man who ended two wars. But now Gulf War II could become Gulf War III.. is the nation ready to fulfill a commitment it made? Is the neocon crowd set to clean up their mess? Are the Freedom Fries eaters prepared to sacrifice? It’s been ten years + since TIME magazine asked if we want this war. We did then, we thought..We even burned DIXIE CHICKS albums to prove it.. after it was over we hated it, and ourselves. But taking a long look in the mirror is not enough after you destroy a nation. Rebuilding is one thing.. but securing something we broke is another. And this place is broken–and apparently breaking further by the day and by the hour..x x x
The sun is suddenly active. First it was two massive X flares, and now a third.. But the weird part of the solar storm coming is that the thrust of it may hit on Friday the 13th. This Friday–the same day the earth will see a full moon. While shockwaves may disrupt GPS systems, I could not even fathom the beauty that people in the extreme North will see when they look to the heavens and see the Northern Lights along with a beautiful full moon. The power of nature at its finest.. But speaking of disruptions: Cell service may also be affected come Friday should the CME be strong enough. On Facebook, the ‘kill shot’ viewer Ed Dames has suddenly come from the social network coma that he was in over in Ukraine. For years, whether he is a huckster hoaxster or honest purveyor of truth, Dames has said a massive ‘kill shot’ will hit earth and only people in safe areas will survive. And now with the recent blasts from the sun, the Major has taken back to Facebook to warn his followers again that the kill shot is coming. He is standing by his vision.

NASA is testing a flying saucer like craft device for a Mars landing.. read that again: WE are going to land a flying saucer on Mars. Seriously.. is this cranky comedy or something?

The devil’s in the details. And maybe in the clouds.. This image was shot at a UK rock festival.. There was a heavy thunderstorm and this face-like feature ensued in the clouds. Of course the instant rejection occurred as readers said the image was Photoshopped, but judging from the comment thread on the article, the image was real, as some testify. They say they were there, and saw the devil emerge from the thunderstorm above.. Regardless of its authenticity, the image is creepy..x x x
The art of deception.
Something we all know–or should. Companies are very deceptive in the ways they attract you to their product. They trick you into buying things that if you saw in reality would turn away.. McDonalds (and no doubt others) fake their photos of they meat-like burgers.. And here’s some bitter truths: They use motor oil in honey images, they use tampons in potatos, and glue as milk. And there’s more.. Much much more.x x x
Thumbs on the run: Megan Fox enjoys being a mom. And she also says she enjoys ‘kicking butt’ with the NINJA TURTLES. Good product placement.. She also says she’s an adult geek and loved the Ninja Turtles since she was 5. She may not have loved Michael Bay her whole life, but I suppose the Ninja Turtles brought them back together again.

Erect Wednesday news of the world
Things of importance from the world at large..
Is that a Spiderman on your building or are you just happy to see me? Apparently, some people in South Korea, are very erect in anger over a SPIDERMAN sculpture appearing on a building. You don’t have to look close to see that a well-endowed SPIDEY must have taken too many of those drugs that television commercials show men taking before bathing with women in a flower garden. That’s right.. he has an erection, presumably lasting more than four hours.. The artist has been pressured to remove the statue. While some may laugh at the image and deem it to be less than offensive, consider this fact: The statue was directly above a playground. Obviously not suitable for all ages–or really any age in my opinion.x x xAnother phallic image for you to start your day: Headline: “Serial cucumber masturbator sentenced after being recognized in library” Not an ONION article or other of satire, but certainly one with satiric potential. The UK METRO, in all its gossipy nature, reports this: The 49-year-old Frederick Davis was in a library in Toronto Canada when he was recognized by staff as the man who was seen masturbating in the library with one hand and grasping a cucumber in his other..x x x
Unless you’ve lived under a rock (or chosen not to watch 99% of TV like me) you have heard of the Long Island medium Theresa Caputo. A few weeks ago at a barbecue, a friend of mine even brought her up and argued about how right and honest she is.. But we now have this from RADAR ONLINE: The publication is reporting that the ‘gifted’ psychic is a fraud and her entire act is a hoax. That may not shock those who already doubt the paranormal, but it certainly may harm those mentally who have seen her and believed her when she told grieving family members that she was channeling loved ones.. As for me, when I see the LONG ISLAND medium, I typically think of the psychic from the movie MALL RATS. If you’ve ever seen it, I am sure you’ll remember her for her fame.. Nonetheless: Here is what RADAR says: She does the typical (getting to know the client and then noticing things about them, typical bad psychic stuff..) Then this: RADAR says that at a recent Hershey Pennsylvania event, she ‘seemed off’ with all of her guesses about people, and appeared to be grasping at straws at many points during the show..Wonder if she saw this coming?x x xA few weeks ago, all the rage on TWITTER was to ‘bring our girls home.’ Soon after that, the world forgot about the 200+ school girls abducted in Nigeria. But now this: Boko Haram has apparently kidnapped up to 40 young mothers near the same village where the school girls were taken.. Haram also slaughtered hundreds of people in Northeast Nigeria..x x xPolice in San Francisco recently met to discuss teen ‘Wildings’ .. If you haven’t heard of Wildings, it when teenagers mostly are acting like they are in a scene from the movie THE PURGE.. it’s being reported as a new crime trend that mostly involves younger people. No indeed, the kids proving that they still aren’t alright.x x xSome interesting news from way up North in Alaska.. An earthquake swarm is hitting the Brooks Range–seismologists really don’t know why and there is not much of a precedent for it.. Scientists are obviously watching it closely..x x xTwo massive solar flares have just been unleashed by the sun.. Both were caught by NASA, and both were classified as X class flares.. Radio blackouts have occurred in Europe.. Thankfully the flares failed to destroy humanity. Although Ed Dames will be front and center advertising his ‘kill shot’ vision..x x x
Pope Francis, just getting over days of an illness, presided over an audience on a scorching hot day.. the Pope used the chance to denounce corrupt businessmen, human trafficking, and forced child labor..x x x
Not for the faint of heart.. this from Pennsylvania: A West Hazleton man accused of inserting his fist into a woman’s anus and pulling out stomach tissue during a drug-fueled attack last year has pleaded guilty in Luzerne County Court.x x x
Too far? A woman who worked for a NASA-funded project was in a British documentary called THE GIRL WHO TALKED TO DOLPHINS. During the documentary, she also admitted to having sex with dolphins.. She said she was not uncomfortable.. as long as it was ‘not rough’ .. More here.Once you go aquatic… when the tank is rockin’.. They call it flipper.

Slender is the sign
Yet ANOTHER story that has a Slenderman tie in is making news today.. we reported hours ago that a girl in Ohio who was fascinated by ‘Slenderman’ tried to stab her mother.. this after a Wisconsin stabbing a week ago by two 12-year-olds who wanted to visit Slenderman at his forest mansion.. And now this: A shooting occurred Sunday in Las Vegas.. Two right wing extremists yelled “this is a revolution” before they killed two police officers. Then they ran into a Walmart and a killed a shopper before the wife killed her husband and then herself..
The couple reportedly named: Jerad and Amanda Miller (no official confirmation on the names yet). A neighbor told media that they dressed as the JOKER and Harley Quinn… and the Jerald reportedly dressed as Slenderman…..This is getting bizarre.. for a few reasons.First off, this is not the first time the JOKER has been a meme involved in a crime.. nor, obviously, is it the first time that Slenderman has been, either..Consider this: Clyde Lewis’ GROUND ZERO radio program had a show on May 1 2014 about Slenderman.. Lewis argued that Slenderman was a modern tulpa and warned that more and more information about Slenderman would make the mainstream. Lewis may have been on to something..Things are getting strange.. -

In a random world of chaos.. this happens
I am always perplexed by the ‘coincidences’ that fill our headlines and litter our histories..
Things that should not happen simply because the rare occasion of them occurring would need stars to line up and miracles (or the opposite) to occur.
One such event made news in Texas.. A head-on collision took place on Road 87 North and FM 2379. Both drivers were pronounced dead.. both drivers, in separate cars, were married.. the husband and wife had their respective lives extinguished at the hands of each other..
There are three children that survive without a mother and father now. A tragic accident.. a strange series of events that caused both to be at the wrong place at the right time.. both now dead at the hands of some force or fate that often destroys people and ruins lives.
With is this yin and yang we call life? What is this series of unfortunate events we call coincidence? Hearts out to the grieving relatives and friends..
But I am still amazed and confused of the chances of this occurring and the fact that it did..

Another Slenderman crime makes headlines
Last week the nation was shocked when two Wisconsin pre-teens attempted to murder their friend by stabbing her 19 times in a forest .. Their defense: They were trying to become the children of Slenderman and wanted to sacrifice someone to do it.. in recent days, people have learned everything they never wanted to know about the fictitious character..
And now: A new crime is just as shocking the media tells us.. and again, a child is using Slenderman as the reason for a stabbing. According to reports from this weekend, an Ohio mom said that her daughter’s knife attack was inspired by the net creation Slenderman. The mother said that her daughter ‘was someone else’ during the stabbing.. the mother said her daughter had a fascination with Slenderman.. The 13-year-old girl is now in a juvenile detention center..
The girl already had mental issues, according to the mom interviewed..
The HORROR REPORT wrote about the original attempted murder, and said that we hoped the original Slenderman stabbing did not create a pattern or trend.. This new crime is causing some to wonder if it did..
There is one caveat to mention.. I am not really sure if all these teens are just not right in the head or if the news media is trying to cash in on a new trend. The local report on this latest Slenderman stabbing does not clearly tie the girl who stabbed her mother to the horror character, and even further there appeared to be mental problems already.. But Slenderman?? This quote from the local station made me doubt:
“She had her hood up and had her hands covered with her sleeves and the mask,” the mother said.
Unless I am completely out of the loop, I was not aware of Slenderman having a mask.. Unless it’s one of the homemade jobs that you can find yourself online, Slenderman does not have a face.. not a feature. He is pale and without any actual facial structure.. So this mom could have mistaken another mask for Slenderman? Perhaps Ghostface.. Michael Myers? Also this: During the one scene of the news media report on the mom saying her daughter was drawing ‘disturbing images’ a drawing of anime was shown.. Hardly disturbing or a sign of monsters lurking within..
Also … did the mother purchase the mask for her daughter with the issues already?I think calm discernment is necessary for this story…
And as usual, the media is meshing together two stories. The stabbings in Wisconsin were clearly a result of Slenderman addiction.. this new stabbing? Not as clear..
Some may think questioning this mother would be unfair–but this mom went to the news media herself and advertised the story, without showing her face or naming a name..
I think we are about to endure a massive trend of news media telling us to be afraid of a Net Boogeyman that may not exist.. Slenderman does not exist.. and trend of stabbings may not either–but a big brunt of news coverage will ..
