I walked into this scene pretty much exactly as you see it. I went into this abandoned house with my prop not knowing what was inside and here was this chair in front of the window with a power cord hanging down from the ceiling rigth above it (I tucked it up so it wouldn't show in the photo) and red paint was splashed all over the walls. I moved the chair so it was centered well in front of the window and snapped until I had the exposure I wanted. Then I moved the chair to the corner where there was more paint trying to get more of the "empty room" but I really liked the way this turned out and decided to go with it, even though the "room" part was pretty minimal.
The stuff on the blind is red paint.
The whole scene just struck me as very eerie, hence the title.

I was thinking the same thing. i think a little more aggressive processing would serve the photo better, but likely wouldn't score as well. it's got a nice creepy aura about it. i think maybe that's human innards splattered on the window, not paint.
you better have taken AJ with you to this creepy place.
Great treatment and a image that has a strong emotional impact and to think that for the "blood / paint" was already there... scary. The exposure is perfect, very well done.
Though the subject is really gruesome, I must say that the photo is very well done. Excellent lighting and composition. Good balance between the thing and the space, and the title adds a story for the full package.
