It is a dark and stormy night ... and something wants to come inside ...

I like the comp but kethcup is a poor substitute for blood...it lacks a visceral connection, as humans we know blood even if we don't want to see it...

Exactly right - if I don't have time to shop for some food coloring so I can make some better "blood" I'll probably replace this. (The WA is good, but not worth slashing a wrist for the real stuff )

Edit: OK, I ditched the "blood" for now.

Then just slice an ankle. You don't need both of those!

Hi Cal, as a fan of blades, I find yours to be very interesting. Nicely lit. If you grab that food coloring, pick up some corn syrup while your at it.

Thank you, Mike! I looked at "fake blood" recipes on-line and it does look like corn syrup with red and blue food coloring is the easiest solution. Eventually I want to pursue my original concept, but I've realized that it just isn't going to happen in the next few days, so this will be my entry.

Cool shot, Cal! It harkens to something from "The Twilight Zone".

All the best,

Endre

Thank you for your comments, Beverly, Steve, Yakim and Daniel!

And Endre, thank you as well. Ah, yes - "The Twilight Zone" slightly warped many young and impressionable minds back in the day. Mine included, apparently!

Great shot! That isn't a calphalon katana series is it? Love the lighting and effects, absolutely stunning!

Kyle, you nailed it! My favorite and most-used kitchen knife, a Calphalon Katana Santoku 5 inch. Not sure how effective it would actually be as a weapon, but it LOOKS wicked... Thank you for your kind words on the photo - clearly not many agree
