So is this Hammer horror blood?

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

Nice that it's edible - so much better than the cheap stuff you get in the tube.

That guy is so creepy.

I feel I need to share a warning about fake blood:

My friend Morgan was "the ghost" in a production of "Hamlet" and every night he would need to be covered in fake blood. Well, one night when I was giving him a ride home (because all actors are poor) he was telling me that he couldn't wait until the show's run ended because the blood was irritating his skin. I asked him if they bought their fake blood or just used the old syrup recipe and I was SHOCKED at what he told me. They made the blood themselves using a recipe the stage manager gave them. And every night for three weeks Morgan had been covering himself with it. His skin was so irritated because they were using a mix of pure liquid laundry detergent with some red food coloring. I guess the idea was that it tended to stick longer.

I don't know where the fuck they got that recipe but if you're ever considering making fake blood then take my advice: go with the syrup.

My preferred recipe involves boiling down some flour and water, since you end up with a thick liquid that isn't all sticky like the corn syrup recipes.

This recipe is pretty damn good. It does look a bit runny to be practical when filming on the body. I have an easy quick method. Use light maple syrup (not real maple syrup, but that fake sugar water shit from Aunt Jemima). The consistency of the light syrup is already perfect so you don't have to add water to loosen it like you would corn syrup. Then add exactly what he said: red, blue and yellow.

You can use the flat side of a plastic knife to create realistic streaks of blood down hands and faces or whatever else.
