To promote the second season of the “serial killer as hero” series Dexter, Showtime erected a tempory fountain of blood in front of the Kodak Theatre.

LAist’s Tony Pierce swung by for a swim, but was thought twice upon arrival: “It sorta smelled gross and it splattered on you as you photographed it.”

On a side note, while Dexter takes place in Miami, FL, the soundstages are mere blocks away at the haunted Sunset Gower Studios.
