Hey all,
I just finished my first short film, "The Biohazard", and it's a zombie film which required a lot of fake blood.
The blood I made, however, was really sticky. It was good because it looked real and was edible so the actors could put it in their mouths. But the stickyness caused some of the zombies to get really mad and it got everything they touched sticky. Overall it caused a lot of discomfort, which I don't want to have in the second part of the film, which I'm filming in a week.
My blood was made of corn syrup, red die, water, and hersheys chocolate syrup. I got the recipe from here. That website has over 10 different formulas for fake blood. Some are edible and some aren't. It doesn't say whether they're extremely sticky, and I don't have the time to test all of them out.
So do you guys have any formulas you'd be willing to share that yield non-toxic, realistic-looking blood that isn't too sticky?
Thanks
