Why does CTAN now look like I'm on LSD?

Question

It seems that the CTAN network has been updated to appear as if users are on hard drugs or in the twilight zone. The moving background is making me dizzy.
This is not the same as What is CTAN.org now? because it is (was) not April Fool's Day. There you have it. I have explained why this question is unique for that one person who wanted to know why.

LSD

Twilight Zone

The 31st of October is the day of a festival called Halloween.  This custom was established long time ago to scare away ghosts by dressing up as spooky creatures oneself.  It is common to decorate your house with horrifying accessories and since CTAN is the home of TeX it is all Halloween-themed today.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

It is possible to return to the normal site skin on the site's user settings page (login not required).

I found the halloween skin (and especially the sound effects) quite tasteless.
