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?

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.

Big bucks!! Starbucks is making some mighty big news today.. the company is offering its workers FREE COLLEGE TUITION! There are some strings attached and limitations within, but it’s quite an adventureous venture. SO now you know..A shame a college degree these days is worth as much as a Starbucks cup of coffee..

Horror movie related items have been stolen from a MAD MONSTER convention in Phoenix.. Included with the items: Chainsaw signed by Gunnar Hansen, who played the original Leatherface in the 1974 movie Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and a knife signed by Halloween II star, Tyler Mane… Bad form, thieves, bad form..

At this point, Miley Cyrus should just start her own nude website in which people watch her scratch herself and stick her tongue out all day.. The less than dignified music sensation posted a photograph of herself prior to a shower. Topless. Good thing you can’t smell a person through Instagram–after all this was prior to bathing. Smellagram is a future endeavor, but until then we can only just imagine..

QUICK HITS:

WWE (then WWF) wrestling star Pat Patterson has come out as gay..
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..

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? We are going to be the UFOs in a UFO flying over the planet Mars.. I don’t know if it’s irony or just a bitter joke to all of the UFO enthusiasts who believe that circular craft has been flying over the planet Earth for decades..

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..

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.

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.
