 		Ally Farson.Com
http://www.allyfarson.com/

Quote:
In early June of 1999, a series of seven homicides occurred culminating in the August indictment of a California woman, Ally Farson, the first female serial killer in the State's history.

On August 24, 1999 ShadowMan Films, a small film company based in West Hollywood, California received an unsolicited package containing film footage graphically documenting the cold-blooded murder of a string of innocent people living in the Monarch Beach area of Southern California. A copy of this film footage was provided to the police and an investigation is currently underway.

The killer (Ally Farson – an amateur film student) is an expert in disguise and has blatantly displayed her face in the raw footage. Ally Farson is still at large in spite of a nationwide manhunt and it is our hope this website and our efforts will assist in her apprehension.


---------

So, I was browsing and saw this, that I thought was about a snuff film serial killer, which - you don't see those every day - and as I got to browsing some of the pages, I see a link asking is this real.

That led here:


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Disclaimer:

Never in the history of Hollywood or the Internet has there been an interaction as you see before you now. When you go to a movie, do you want to be on the screen? Do you want to pummel the producer? Do you want to kiss the hero or heroine? How many times have you said, "I could have done better than that!" Or, "Why wasn't that my idea?"

Now you have a chance to interact with Hollywood. To find the clues, to read the interviews, to get your hands on the pieces of the puzzle and become part of the action. This is the first time in history that a movie is not just a web site billboard. You can choose to take part in this revelation of interaction between two screens...your computer screen at home and Hollywood's big screen.

Is Ally Farson real? If you want to get metaphysical, yes. The mentality, the psychology, the essence of what is happening today in our society is real. But is she flesh and blood? No.

This site is here for your enjoyment; for the wannabe forensic scientist, for the amatuer slueth. Dig in, critique, do better or learn. Ally Farson exists for you.





I did search and got zero hits so I'm going to assume this either hasn't ended up here, or it was old news. At any rate, I'm sharing it - it looks pretty fleshed out.

Anybody up for investigating a snuff film serial killer still at large?

 		It looks fairly polished on first view but it is missing all the legal disclaimer stuff that it would have if it was a real corporate project.

 		more digging
looks like this really was an ultra-low budget horror film from 2000. Both the ally site and the shadowman sites were created to promote the movie which must have gone absolutely no-where although there are 2 used copies for sale on Amazon. Looks like the sites have been dead since then.

So - no arg, but kind of an interesting almost-arg. Reasonably creative for 2000 I would think.

 		No, of course it's not real.... ;-p May not be fully operable but it's half decently playable. Maybe in timewasters then.

I do wish someone would do something along this line for an ARG. Something different.
