I want fake blood (for halloween)

slowen

Does anyone know where I could purchase some fake blood to add finishing effects to a halloween costume apart from going to a fancy dress / joke shop as I want it to look as realistic as possible rather than use cheap stuff

Thanks

Try ebay. I have searched and there are a few ppl selling tubes of it!

I saw some in our local Co-op last week. Woolsworths maybe. What about theatrical make-up. I don't have any links but worth a thought.

corner shops, card shops, poundland, partners.

Dissolve a tsp of instnt cofee, tspn red food dye and a few tbspn sugar in about 1/3 cup water and boil it to get a syrup. Let it cool before you use it.

There are loads of other recipies around but that uses easy to come-by ingredients and won't do any harm if you swallow it. If you can add a little glycerol that will prevent crystallisation. It will be OK without it though.

More realistic than cheapo toy/novelty type versions.

Try here, and they do an express service:

or you can make your own from glycerine and red food colouring.
