Halloween at our house means buckets of fake blood. We like to scare the neighbours silly. Here are our favorite fake blood recipes.
The basic tried and tested recipe for all purpose fake blood is
Just mix the water and cornflour together, then add the rest of the ingredients. It looks fantastically spooky in itself and is great for bleeding scars and vampire mouths. It doesn't taste wonderful but is totally harmeless for vampires and ghouls of any age and even washes out of clothes well.
Sometimes you need lots and lots of fake blood. Sometimes nothing but gallons of fake blood will do. This is the fake blood recipe you need in those situations. Mix a batch of Chivers red jelly (jello) up using 3 times the amount of water stated on the packet. Add more red food colouring (4 drops per packet) and 1 drop of green food color per packet and finally add 2 tablespoons of sifted flour to thicken the mix and make it less translucent. This will give a thick liquid fake blood that can be used in bulk. The extra drop of green food colouring is essential!
Fake Blood has so many uses on halloween. It's a scream!
