Iconic dripping red blood smiley face, the Dexter series signature

About this image

This is the famous serial killer signature smiley face from the Dexter thriller television series, hand-drawn with dark, viscous dripping red blood on a pale mint green residential wall. The unsettling cheerful grin features slow running drips from every line of the face, with soft indoor lighting casting shadows from nearby room decor including a table lamp and framed wall art. This iconic crime scene marker is one of the most recognizable visual motifs from the Dexter horror crime franchise.
