How to Make Fake Blood for Halloween
-
Crimson Blood - This clean, runny blood perfect is for dripping, splattering, and was the easiest to make of all we tested.
-
Combine 1 cup corn syrup with 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup.
-
Stir in red food coloring until you get a deep red color (we used about 8 drops).
-
Oxygen Depleted Blood - This darker, viscous blood is made for smearing (á la the shower curtain in Psycho). It also can look really drippy without actually dripping all over the place.
-
Combine 2/3 cup chocolate syrup, 1/3 cup Tide laundry detergent, with 4 to 6 teaspoons red food coloring.
-
NOTE: This blood includes detergent and IS NOT edible and you should avoid putting it on your skin (do as we say, not as we did).
-
Scabs - This was our favorite and the most realistic looking blood mixture. It will darken slightly as it dries and the texture gets better as it sits.
-
Combine 2 tablespoons corn starch, 4 teaspoon water, 1 teaspoon corn syrup, 1 tablespoon onion flakes, and 4 drops red food coloring.
-
Clump it onto your skin and let dry.
-
Guts - To manipulate the texture of guts, you can use anything from chunky peanut butter to oatmeal.
-
Prepare either the Crimson or Oxygen Depleted blood (above).
-
Tear thin strips of toilet paper and stir into the blood until you\'ve reached your desired texture.
