This is caused because the light reflecting off the moon has to go through much more atmosphere when it is close to the horizon. Shorter wavelengths of light are scattered by the air, causing only longer wavelengths to reach your eyes, making the moon appear red or orange (since red is the longest wavelength of the visible light spectrum.) This is also why the sun appears to be red as it sets.

Dude, this pic is fucked up. Play with the contrast and brightness. There's some crazy shit going on.

In addition to what these guys said, it's also fire season.
If a big enough fire is in your area, then it'll will put enough dust up into the local atmosphere to cause recurring blood moons. Ancient societies used to freak out about them because they were frequently a portent of crop loss (cuz fire) and therefore people would starve during the winter.
It's literally nothing to be worried about.
