Nice tip. Heres an excellent site I found, loads of recipes here: The Ravens fake blood recipes
Stone fx, for little chunks of brains in blood [kinda like the brains on the backseat in the new massacre] follow HappyCampers recipe, but use really chunky peanut butter. Looks pretty real.

hey that's the site, where I got my recipe from!

Awesome! Thanks!

We use this alot at the haunted house. It works pretty good, it's not edible, so it doesn't draw bugs, and the hand sanitizer makes it "keep" for some time. Most of the ingreidents we get at the dollar store, except the oil, we get that at Autozone or Wal-Mart, (it's also known as water pump lubricant). You can thicken it up or thin it down as you like. Use the styling gel for thicking. The oil gives it a glossy look.

19 fl. oz. water-based styling gel
4 fl. oz. hand sanitizer gel
4 tbs water-soluble oil
7 tbs red food color
9 drops blue food color
enough water to make 1 gallon

We also make intestines, organs, (hearts,Kidneys etc.) out of paper towels covered with latex.

We use the classic corn syurp recipe when we have someone coming in close contact with the blood, or for blood capsules.

thanks movieman64! i'll have to try out that recipe when I get the chance (meaning when i have the money to spend)

Thanks D! i'm gonna try out the compressed air bullet hits as soon as I have the money to spend on the needed materials!

I'll be sure to let you know how it turns out!

Know of anyway of making exploding heads?

The only way I could think of was to get a watermelon (that's close to human head size) and blow it up! and then chroma key it in where the person's head would be and with some tricky editing you probably could time the frames so that you see the persons head and then you see it explode without ever actuallly seeing a watermelon... probably would look pretty lame though.

cool topic

heres a good blood recipes for things you can find around the house.

P.S. these aren't really recipes but eh...

1) red paint
2) red food coloring with a little bit of water
3) random red make-up u can steal from your sister or mom.

for flesh
Mix starch and glue together with a lot of red food coloring. Should looks like bloody muscle tissue. Use it quickly, the coloring turns pink if handled to much or if its just sitting around too long.

what about an exploding head? i wanna know how to make an exploding head!
