Make it yourself! It's much cheaper that way.
You need Clear corn syrup, water and food coloring.
Mix it all together until you get the consistency and color you want. Add a few drops of blue or green to give it a darker and more opaque look. And if your not pumping it, add flour to thicken it and give it a really nasty look.

Yeah definitely just make it yourself. You will save mucho dolleros...or however they say it in Spanish.

All blood will stain, but not too badly. So yes, but if your not using it in anyone's eyes or mouth, add a few drops of laundry detergent to the mix, it will wash out of walls, clothes, floors ect. much easier.

Good taste is always a plus for the actors.

Hey, question: How do you thin blood enough so that you can pour it easily, or so that it will flow, pretty much like water, but without losing its opacity(is that a word?) and keeping it opaque?

Just add water to thin it out, and use a bit of blue or green food coloring to keep it dark. I've also heard of using condensed milk to make it opaque but I imagine you'd have to use it fairly quickly so it doesn't spoil. And yes, opacity is a word.

Well, I still ponder the universe's ultimate question:
If an Alien and a Predator fought who would win?
Paul Anderson's sh*tfest movie doesn't count, and the comics go either way.

Well, if the Preditors are supposed to have designed and built the Aliens, they probably have some virus, weapon or poison that could wipe them out if they became a threat rather than a sport. I'm such a geek ;D |
