Fake Blood Recipe

Whilst Alicia washes her hands in the bathroom, we see a transition from clean to bloody hands once she becomes panicked.

When we came up with the idea of Alicia washing her hands and blood appearing, we thought it would be easy to just use halloween blood, however we soon realised this was not the case, when we went to film the 'blood scene' the halloween blood didnt look as realistic as we had hoped. The colour was not right and the consistency was extremely runny. We then had to find new recipes in order for us to get exactly what we wanted.

Here Are Some Fake Blood Recipes We Used :

Method 1

1 c. Karo Syrup
1 Tbsp Water
2 Tbsp Red Food Coloring
1 tsp Yellow Food Coloring

Mix together in a mixing bowl and you're done. Try adding blue or yellow for a different shade


Method 2

200ml Water
5 Tablespoons Cornflour (corn starch)
300ml Lyles Golden Syrup (or Corn Syrup)
2 Teaspoons of fresh cream
5 Teaspoons Red Food Coloring
2 Drops Green Food Coloring

Just mix the water and cornflour together, then add the rest of the ingredients. It looks fantastically spooky in itself and is great for bleeding scars and vampire mouths. It doesn't taste wonderful but is totally harmeless for vampires and ghouls of any age and even washes out of clothes well.


Method 3

Or There Is The Conventional Method Of Buying Store Bought Halloween Blood, although we had a few problems with this.
