 		Worse Than A Fairy Tale
The Saylor Lake Murders
Found this browsing through Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTZRZzbOxVo
Which leads to: www.worsethanafairytale.com

It looks like it's going to be some sort of murder mystery/viral marketing for the new Drop Dead Gorgeous album Worse Than A Fairy Tale, which claims to be inspired by the story of "The Saylor Lake Murders."

Quote:
Drop Dead, Gorgeous have launched worsethanafairytale.com – a micro site for the Saylor Lake murders from their new concept album. The detailed site includes victims identities, crime scene photos, police reports, and gives clues to catch the killer. Every few days a new murder profile will be placed on the site.


Quote:
The mysteries of "The Saylor Lake Murders" are being revealed at WorseThanAFairyTale.com - Over the next 2 weeks clues and details about all twelve murders will be released to the public one at a time, read the lyrics, scour the internet - "You'll Never Catch Me"

 		It does look interesting Smile
And after jumping into this one and pulling up some info on the 2nd Victim (Samantha Frost) google gave me these links--http://www.celebritypicturesarchive.com/pgs/s/samantha-frost/samantha-frost-pictures.htm
http://www.gws.uiuc.edu/People/faculty/frost/index.htm
and type the name into MySpace search brings up 78 names.
This info might be useless, but who knows Razz

 		Murders
links
It does look interesting and scary. I cant get murder link #1 or murder link #3 to work. The rest of the murder's I can get. Is it me (my computer) or are they not working for a game reason?

 		It's not just you, I had that 2, maybe something else has to be done before they can be accessed, I'm not sure if or what though.

EDIT--added a link to the lyrics,maybe someone else can scour things from them http://www.azlyrics.com/d/dropdeadgorgeous.html

That happened to me it's actually pretty strange but if you go from 1 to 3 then to 2 and 4 it will work. Smile

 		fifth murder
There are now 5 murder sites; Paula O'Neil, April 18th 1979.
I can't seem to get 1 or 3 to open though, even after opening the other one.

 		 Worse Than A Fairy Tale
The Saylor Lake Murders
here's another one..
i just looked around in the web. verx interesting but disappointing, too

Quote:
Worse Than a Fairy Tale is a concept album as well as an interactive experience for fans, telling the story of a serial killer who plies his trade in a small fictional town called Saylor Lake. Every song connects the pieces of the puzzle, and listeners will have the opportunity to decipher the mystery themselves through a multimedia experience on www.worsethanafairytale.com, which will feature postings and artwork related to the story.


it's an invented story. not real
