splatter
Flung liquid pattern
Splatter describes liquid scattering in irregular drops or streaks upon impact: Blood splattered across the wall, Rain splattered the windshield.
The word evokes messiness and violence more than its cousin splash.
A splatter is the resulting pattern of scattered droplets.
Splatter films are horror movies featuring exaggerated gore—blood splattered everywhere for shock effect.
