Site Information

Staff Contact and Bios

While we have a revolving door of help, as we seem to have a habit of pissing people off, here is the current staff. Feel free to contact them via email or on the site if you need to. Not one of these people get paid a dime, and suffer through the absolutely thankless job of running a site when they can spare the time – simply because they love the site.

Morbid\Killroy – Owner-Editor (ha!)-Administrator-Lover
morbid@dreamindemon.com
Twitter – dreamindemon

Egotistical, arrogant horror movie lover. A glutton for punishment here to slave over the endless stories of assholes and put them up for you to discuss, laugh at, or whatever you do with these stories. Loves horror movies as well as talking\writing about them. Continue to give enlightening commentary using words and gestures that should be hung on to by the rest of you. Thanks his mother for getting him into the horror\crime genre after taking him to his first movie - Jaws, giving him first novel – The Amityville Horror – and bringing him a Fangoria magazine (issue #7) when he was home sick.

So Jaded – Co-Owner-Contributor-Moderator- Myspace Administrator
sojaded@dreamindemon.com
Twitter – DDJaded

Crazy lady who agreed to help us out when things were getting too busy IRL. She hit the ground running and has not stopped. With an almost supernatural ability to post story after story day after day with (what seems like) no actual sleep, she single-handedly carried this site during a period of time. Aside from posting stories, she also helps answer other contributer’s questions, maintains the Myspace page as well as our Flickr account. Morbid dreads the day she decides she has had enough of this shit.

swivel – Administrator
swivel@dreamindemon.com
Twitter – MollyFyde

A partner in crime. While not overly active, his spirit remains with us always. He is the center square of The Dreamin’ Demon as well as the troll under the bridge. Like a mischievous leprechaun, he is sure to pop up and say something intelligently offensive and is uncannily expert in his ability to shake the hornets nest without getting stung. A real asshole, he is. Keep an eye out for his latest book that will hopefully be in stores soon so Morbid will undoubtedly use the association as an advertising angle for dreamindemon.

Athena – Site Editor-Forum Moderator
athena@dreamindemon.com

Intelligent debater, Athena has joined on to help out in the forums in our Three Things portion of the forums as well as help out with my non-existent spelling mistakes. Not a frequent face on the front page, but more active on the topics of gun control, drunk driving and politics in general. She has been around for a while now, and is usually the first to put out the flames of the torches carried by our resident lynch mob. Always around to bring an alternate viewpoint to a story – even if it is unpopular. But no matter what she says, she IS an ICP fan.

FlamingFox – Site Contributor
flamingfox@dreamindemon.com
Twitter – DDFlamingFox

FlamingFox is a sly little vixen with a firey mane and a blazing appetite for sinking her fangs into the more corrupted creatures that inhabit our land. Being primarily a crepuscular hunter, Foxy enjoys sharpening her claws and writing skills during the midnight hours when there is less of a chance for human interference. She spends her days feeling grateful for her solitary lifestyle and is always waiting for another thunderstorm to come her way. If it’s loud with repetitious lightning, it’s a sure guarantee to get this hellcat purring and she spends that time curled up in her den with a book.

Tazzzz – Site Investigator-Forum Moderator
tazzzz@dreamindemon.com

Evildoers beware! Like his namesake, he is a whirlwind of unstoppable energy. He travels the information highway searching for people to feature on the Dreamin’Demon. Taz loves nothing better than to dig up personal information of perps and to unveil their buried bones to the world. He does this because he believes every person who hurts, maims, or kills an innocent child deserves their 15 minutes in the spotlight of shame. Taz also enjoys reading, a good joke, pun, and baking fresh goodies in the oven. Mmmm… Nothin’ says loving like something fresh from the oven.

Site Background

The Dreamin’ Demon was started over four years ago. It was initially just a forum for members to have religious and political arguments. The main page was an attempt at being an entertainment news resource specifically geared towards movies. Check the Wayback Machine for some hilarious pictures of the site. Through many ups and downs, site reboots and data loss, one particular portion of the site remained the most active. Morbid’s personal favorite section called Reality Bites. This portion of the site was nothing more than an uncensored blog on criminal activity and nothing else – allowing authors and commentors to state pretty much whatever they felt like.

Purpose

While there is no one goal in regards to what we are doing, there is a purpose. The Dreamin’ Demon is here to try and provide uncensored news in regards to criminals and their victims and point some people to (or in some cases, away) from some good crimentertainment in film, books and television. Politically correct? Tact? Morals? You wont find much of that here. We want to shock, sicken and anger. We want people to be outraged and be vocal about the crimes we feature. Vent. Comment. Express you glee, hate, scorn, disgust. We are not authors, nor do we aspire to be. We are not experts, nor do we pretend to be. We are simply just like you. Parents, Friends and Family who are (somewhat) functioning members of society who read about these stories and want to spread the word and vent our frustrations at the same time. And of course, laugh at some of the idiots. Which leads us the the following FAQ in regards to all the “who are we to judge” and the “let those without sin” people:

The Swivel FAQ

1. People are not INNOCENT until proven guilty. This is a legal philosophy designed to place the burden of proof entirely in the hands of the prosecution. It means something in a court of law, but it doesn’t mean jack-fucking-shit on our website.
2. Your retarded relative either did it or they didn’t. And we think you know what the fuck is up.
3. Our courts treat everyone with the respect afforded an innocent person, regardless of (2). We don’t have to. It isn’t slander to report an arrest or to talk shit about the people that commit such acts.
4. We don’t give as much of a shit about a crime three years after it was committed.
5. Our site makes fun of people for being suspected of tragic and comedic crimes.
6. This is no different than COPS entertaining us with arrests, instead of giving us a highlight reel of people being led from the Defense desk to a holding cell in an orange jumpsuit, and then a riveting slow-speed montage of their transfer vehicle taking them from jail to prison. The producers of COPS and Manhunters know that this latter show would suck, just as our site would suck if we posted nothing but rap sheets.
7. In the few cases that we have been wrong, we retracted our stories. We have no problem picking up the pebbles that litter the unjustly-stoned. In fact…
8. …we will need them because we fully intend to keep tossing boulders at two groups of fuck-heads: A. Those that do bad shit to people. B. Those that allow it. C. Those who come here telling us how much they hate use while chastising us for judgning someone we do not know or attempt to justify criminal activity- usually with grammatically-incorrect rationalizations.

Site Services

The Dreamin’ Demon is a lot more than just the front page. There are a lot of things going on with this site that some of you may not be aware of. This is just a quick rundown of other things you can explore when you get tired of reading about the latest baby raper, or you need any excuse to have your employer wish you did not have internet access.

Forum

The second, and sometimes first, biggest aspect of the site is our forum. Unlike the front page, which can be drive-by in nature, the forums are for more intimate discussions and range from true crime, to movies, to politics, and even some choice hate mail. There is also a Chatbox that is usually always active, as well as a shitty Chat Room that hosts Friday Drunk Chat and lots of lofting. This forum does require a separate registration and login as it operates independently from the main page. If you think of it as a second site, the cobwebs of confusion should vanish from your brain. Most of our news that you see on the front page comes from user-submitted stories in the Reality Bites section of the forum. So if you cannot get enough bad news, we have more than enough there on a daily basis. There is also a flash arcade that is full of games, although it has been neglected since our latest increase in traffic.

Podcast

Sometimes, we feel like having our voices heard over having our words read. So for better or for worse, we do produce podcasts that follow no schedule in particular. We just kind of do them when we feel like it. We may start doing it weekly, but as of right now, that is not the case. We have a lot of new ideas recently, in regards to what we want to do with these podcasts, and I am pretty sure we will start implementing them shortly. So far, our best ones have involved cannoli and large amounts of alcohol. Be afraid.

Feeds

We also do provide a few feeds via FeedBurner. While the site offers many different types of feeds, particularly in the forums, these three were tailored by me via Feedburner. While I know refreshing the front page can be a orgasmic blast of epic proportions, simply use any of the three following feeds to stay up to date with the front page, the front page comments as well as all of the new crime news being reported in The Reality Bites section.

Myspace

Yeah, yeah. We are on Myspace. Fuck the haters. Myspace is the shit. Besides, we needed a Myspace account to get to all the fucking ridiculous pages and pictures of some of the people featured on the site. So, what does The Dreamin’ Demon Myspace page offer you that the site does not? Nothing. Nothing at all. Well, aside from the fact that we are friend whores. We accept anyone and everyone. We may do something with it in the future, but for now, it’s just a Myspace page with a few blogs entries and a couple bulletins. But until then, be one of the cool kids and ADD US. We thrive on attention.

Yeah, yeah…we are on Twitter.  I am only on there to see how many followers I can get, because everyone knows that the more followers you have the better you are! And the bigger your dick is! I do use it for when the site goes down to provide updates, Blip.FM whatever I am listening to, and occasionally fart out random thoughts – so if you have a Twitter account,  Follow Us and be one of the cool kids!

YouTube Channel

You think the discussions here get strange? You should see the comments left at our YouTube Channel. So if you are ever bored, or just goofing around on YouTube, be sure to stop by our channel. Currently it consists of videos relating to stories we have featured on the site, but you never know what we may do with it later down the road. My couch may even make an appearance one day. We have not taken advantage of this until recently, so if you have a profile on YouTube, be sure to subscribe to us or even Friend us or something. Be one of the first. Be one of the best. Keep an eye out with this one, we have something we are kicking around.

Legend of the Green Dragon

One last little known fact is that we do host a Legend of the Green Dragon server. It is not moderated much at all, and barely played, but it does exist. If it ever gets popular, I will be more than happy to assign administrators to it. If you would like to know what the hell Legend of the Green Dragon is, go here, as it is just too much to detail here.

Seen this image on the site?

A lot of you have asked me about it. It is basically just a rating system that ranks your internet presence: the lower your number, the more popular you are on the intarwebz. Accurate or not, we would like the number to decrease. We would like to see if it is possible to break into the 40,000 club. Why? Why the hell not! How? Well, we promise to keep posting stories and genius insight into all the world’s ills, and you just keep letting people know about the site. Most will hate us, but some, like you, will stick around. The more that come, the more interesting the discussions get and the quicker I can pay my bar tab and keep Imp in those damn Sex Bombs she can’t seem to live without.

The biggest help you could be to the site is to just keep coming back and spreading the word. If you like us, let others know about us. If you hate us, do the same. But if you would like to go the extra mile, and would like to keep us in hookers and blow, give us your money. The Demon is not here to generate an income, as personally, I am a rich motherfucker, and this site is more a hobby I invest in while waiting for infections to clear up. But the site isn’t free to run. So aside from a few ads on the front page, we have introduced a cheap, simple subscription model. While this doesn’t offer much in way of front page commenting, it gives you forum users a lot of perks that include your own blog, a chat box and personalized profiles with a friends list and commenting. All that ghey stuff people seem to enjoy. So man-up like you got a pair and become a Subscriber, or a Bold Member as it is often called. You have to be a member of the forums in order to use this. If you have no desire to join our forums, but would like to part with some cash, you can use the button below.

We now have merchandise (Yay, t-shirts!). You can help out the site and look good doing so. Here’s the link, or you can just click on the cutie on the front page. (No hitting on the front page cutie, though. She’s a minor.)

Amazon Store
Yeah, we are Amazon’s bitch, so what? The Dreamin’ Demon Crime Lab contains crime related books and movies reviewed or mentioned on the site. Check it out every now and then. Any item listed there was handpicked by myself or other site members. I cannot speak for them, of course, but if I picked it, you know it is good.

Closing Comment

We have seen some of the comments about our site, good and bad, and we have seen the talk about our style and our choice of imagery. If you get it, good, take your shoes off and have a seat on the couch (the clean one). If not, you probably aren’t welcome anyway. There are many true crime sites out there and we do not pretend to be the best of the bunch. Lots of great sites out there are run by good people who invest a lot of time into what they do. Pick your poison – I think most true crime sites have similar goals, even if they find different ways of reaching them. Some have more class, and others have more style.

While it can be a bit depressing to read the actions of some of these people and the fate of their victims on a daily basis…you need to be aware of these scenarios so that maybe you can prevent yourself, or others, from being featured here. Every person featured here has neighbors, friends and families. Some of these stories could have been prevented. You should also be aware that overall, the world is a great place. Our site is not a true picture of the US population as a whole. It is merely a small, stinky slice of it. Unlike what others would like you to believe, we are not going to hell in a handbasket. Lastly, get involved! Even if it is something as small as a Community Watch, or keeping an eye on your neighbor or as big as volunteering your time to help victims, or write your local representatives about stiffer penalties for people who commit some of the heinous crimes we feature.

Anything is better than doing nothing at all. If we have gotten just ONE person to act, then this entire site has been worth it.
