Halloween 2007
In October, Whysoserious was brought back online, displaying only the image of a jack-o-lantern. The pumpkin's mouth is in the shape of a bat, reminiscent of Batman: The Long Halloween. Each day, the animated candle slowly began to melt, with the right half (the pumpkin's left) appearing to rot - again a reference to The Long Halloween.

Clicking on the Joker picture led to Rorysdeathkiss.com.
