Fake Blood

[🪦 Bezzerkerr ●]

Hi Guys,

I decided last minute i'm going to be Leatherface for Halloween. I have everything, EXCEPT the FAKE BLOOD. I'm basing my costume on the 9" Stylized Leatherface figure by Mezco.



There is nothing that looks worse than faded, fake blood. I want to BLOOD STAIN the hell ouf of his shirt, pants, apron. My forearms and hands will also be blood covered.

I don't have time to order and wait for an item to be shipped, my solution must be an over the counter paint, corn syrup mixture of some sorts...available at some type of Craft/hardward store.

What do you guys reccomend? I would prefer the blood to dry glossy (on the clothing & arms) to give it a wet look...like the blood on Bubba's hands above. The fake blood on the clothing can be permenant, but unfortunately the blood that's going to go on my forearms and hands cannot be permenant.

THANKS GUYS ... ANY and ALL feedback is GREATLY appreciated.

I too am having this problem with my forearms. As for the clothes, i used spray paints and fake blood, plus some spray foam(stuff to fill cracks in houses) painted it up and sprayed clear gloss paint on it and it looks good. I bought some fake big type hands and put blood and paint and gloss on them as well.

Thanks for the reply. That's exactly what i'm going for...an EXTREME amount of blood on the apron & clothing... Good idea with the hands. SPRAY FOAM is a great idea for making GUTS and pieces of MEAT.

How do you think latex paint dry on clothes? Do you think it would give me the glossy look i'm looking for?

BTW, your signature is most impressive.

Thanks for the compliments! I guess latex paint would be fine, i used cheap wal mart dollar spray paint and it works fine. As for the glossy look, i used Krylon clear glossy spray paint.
