In your post you described a story, but the blood doesn’t really match that story, IMO. So in general, define the story behind the scene, and think about what is bloody, and where and when the blood drips or is otherwise transfered to another surfaces, and work from there. There doesn’t seem to be any reason why they are there–primarily those on the floor, and the blotches on the wall (where the streaks from the fingers suggest the person walked steadily past, the blotches suggest pauses). Most of the blood spatters don’t really make sense. Zooming in on the door so the doorknob shows up better may also help this (with knob more prominent, the reason for blood on the door is more apparent). Maybe add bloody footprints to help hint at direction via their shape, and by fading a bit with each step. My first thought was that the person came OUT of the room. With this tighter composition, perhaps you can still have the scissors appear prominent, yet still appear to be in scale with the scene.
Have the scissors dropped by the door (maybe she had to drop them to use both blood-slicked hands to turn the knob). Or shorten the wall between the stairs and door (editing out part of the “story” that isn’t adding that much, so you can zoom in on other parts that are more important). Very cool, but some thoughts: simplify the composition–just use the right half of the image.
