HE WON'T STAY DEAD!

I love Pixelween (and Halloween and horror films) and have wanted to make a news icon for it for ages. For whatever reason, I missed the first HAPPY NEWS YEAR challenge and I didn't have time to do an icon for the New Year's Cleanup challenge, so I was pretty happy about this week's challenge.

I had a few ideas for things I wanted to try but this seemed the most different to what I've already seen on the site.
