Help me pick a new #bookcover

I’m still working on a new cover for IT LIVES IN THE BASEMENT.  I liked one my friend made, but I felt it needed tweaked.  After some suggestions from Facebook, here are my new ones.  Please let me know which one grabs your attention.  I’m also open to any suggestions.  Just bare in mind, I’m only a novice with my Paint.net program.  So, don’t be giving me any techie ideas.  They’ll go right over my head.  Smile 

Here is the one my friend. made.  Someone said that the white font makes the cover look cold and icy, which is fine, but it’s not all of the story.  Also, the author name shouldn’t be in the same font and color:

Another person said red gives the feel of blood and danger, which is more in line with my story.

After I did the above, I liked the color for my name, so played around with that color scheme for the title.

My last cover, I combined the icy cold from the white font, with the blood/danger from the red font.  I also found another font for my name that I really like.

So, what do you think? 

You can see my old cover for this horror book on my sidebar.  I liked it, but at that time, I still hadn’t figured out how to use Paint.net.  It was suggested I use a more mature theme for my cover, as the old one kinda depicts YA.  I don’t see it, but hey, I’m blind to it.
