Fake Blood Folio
I grew up in a family where we were encouraged to play with mud, make mess and use our imaginations. Maybe I’m old enough to ‘know better’ but I still enjoy those things. And I have discovered a particular interest and aptitude for making, but more importantly, applying, fake blood.
My Blood Menu
Mouth Blood
Suitable for drinking, spitting, gurgling, does not sting if you get some in your eyes, contains no dairy products, keeps for several weeks if refrigerated
Flavors: Mint, Chocolate, Raspberry
Translucent Blood
The best blood for shining light through, such as in a glass, down a window or on a mirror. Also looks great on white bathroom tiles. Slightly “faker” looking for tacky retro gore.
Sticky Blood
Best for applying directly to skin or clothes as it sticks where you put it and drips slowly (so you have some time to take photos). Also available in a thinner version for real time dripping
Clot Blood
Best for old wounds, scabs, and deep wounds. Needs to be specially applied. Sticks well to over the counter meat products. Appears darker to regular blood to give texture and colour variation
Splash Blood
Best for bulk uses such as filling a bath with blood. Each recipe is designed for the particular project depending on the consistency required. Non-sticky so will run and drip like water. Works in a spray bottle of water pistol.

Are you actually using purchasable fake blood or making it?

I make it from scratch. Been working on it for a long time. And no, I don’t tell anyone how I do it.

Nice Jo. It’s hard to get fake blood that looks any good at all nowadays. I’ve got a small stash I’ve had since I was a kid, and it’s just great while it’s wet, but it dries off colour. Still better than the bright, watery stuff for sale today.
I like the idea of your different recipies for different occassions. After halloween, and trying to do something with fake blood, I was so frustrated I could’ve gone for the real thing just so it looked decent LOL!

There is too much bloodlust in the world anyway…i bought a $4 hatchet from Bunnings the other day…
crappy piece of kit…the head was loose from new…but it chopped the vine i needed to chop…
However…a little later on…enjoying my hardly earned Rum and Cokes…
Looking at this practically unused tool i was amused by the sence of power i felt standing in line at Bunnings with this thing designed to hack other things to bits in my hand…the looks i was getting…if i`m not smiling i don`t look very friendly
I could have become world famous for all the wrong reasons that day…and who the fuck could stop me…only me.
ciao Doll.
