A Gory Banner

I’ll confess that I didn’t immediately get this month’s Halloween-themed banner by Lindy Groening. When I asked her what was happening in the image, she wrote: “In tribute to all those people who have filmed their own horror movie using ketchup for blood…It’s you, stabbing the ketchup bottle, as ketchup flies out everywhere, and zombie tomatoes lurk in the distance.” I’d ask more questions but now that Lindy’s revealed her diabolical side, I’m too afraid. Suffice it to say, it’s an appropriately creepy image for this month of ghosts and goblins (and tonight’s the premiere of “American Horror Story,” which this reminds me of too). Thanks, Lindy, for your creepy work!
