How To Make Fake Blood

Well that blog post I said I'd post Monday? HERE IT IS....

I've been doing fake blood for cosplays for awhile now and a fair few people always ask me how I do it and really like it. So I thought I would show all you lovely people how I do my shiz.

 

 

What you will need

 

Leaf gelatine

Red food dye

Water

 

That's it! you can get the cheapest of either it still works, I think my food dye was 49p from ASDAs and the gel was like.. £1.05 I think?

 

Now how much you buy is up to you. All of this just about covered a dress, top, corset, flowers, veil so pretty good going.

 

What you do is with the sheets of gel is to cut them up into smaller pieces.

 

 

 

Just cus it's much easier to get them all to melt that way.

 

For each pack of gel I used all of one bottle of food dye for each pack and used water [Water just makes it go further]

 

Add half the food dye first.

 

 

Just wait till the gel starts to melt and add two table spoons of tap water to get it going.

 

 

Stir the fuck out of it till it's all melted in before adding the rest of the food dye.

 

 

It'll go super dark and thick and you have to work very fast with it as it starts to dry almost right away. BIG tip is already have what you want to fake blood up already set up and waiting.

 

More gelatine to food dye/water means it'll be thicker, harder to use , dries much faster and doesn't go as far. Thus the water and a whole bottle of colouring.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And what you have is fake blood that LOOKS wet but is dry and if your in a rush it pretty much dries within five minutes.

 

I like making hand prints so I always stick my hand in and go nuts.

 

 

But it's so easy to wash off since the food dye is in the gel the dye doesn't leave any marks on sides or your skin, It's easy to just peel off and clean away.

 

 

 

 

 

Hopefully this little tip will help you guys in the future.

Why yes I AM alive... it's been a busy, hectic ands stressful time for me in the real world so this is a fun review on something I've watched twice now.

(2010)

This anime has 12 episodes and come in both English and Japanese with English subs but if I was you... I'd really, really not watch the English version, they make jokes and references fit for the western world like 'who is she? Sarah fucking Paling?' but they are so out of place with a very obvious IN JAPAN based show and far too many curse words are added in.

It's like western audiences can't enjoy something unless there is pointless 'FUCKING A's added or something... but the Japanese version is very good /weeabo

So yes, story is the same as any good Zombie related show or movie. Normal day everyone is just doing normal shit and suddenly ZOMBIES and all of the city and later all of Japan is up shit creek.

So yeah, based on a main guy, the girl he fancies and a bunch of other students who don't know each other very well and the school nurse band together to escape the school and find a safe haven together and to survive.

They later meet a little girl and save her and normally I'm very very against whiny kids.. but she's not annoying and is very adorable, awww. So yes the show is everything you'd want for in a zombie related show and more! The gore is awesome, it's very gory and the characters for the most part pretty awesome/

The show is emotional too, you really end up liking the people and do care what happens regardless of them missing a third dimension. The animation is swish and not too typical of anime where it's all yap yap yap and no ones mouth moves. There are really good fight scenes.. some really WTF moments.

There is a matrix boob scene.. I don't know if the person who made it has even seen real tits... but son, they do NOT work like that and they certainly don't make 'badooong' noises when they move. Every girl in the show minus the little girl are smuggling large melons around to help them survive the days ahead.

The cast is pretty cliche..

Snobby rich smart girl

Main calm cool hero but doesn't want to be type

Hot girl love interest [who does kick ass]

Hot silent, serious girl

Ditsy blond with huge tits

Fat nerdy guy who comes in use.

But other then the cliche to the max cast they are good to watch and like I said it's a very gory and emotionally charged show. But I do find all the woman wanna jump on Mr calm guys dick like no tomorrow.. I don't know if it's due to him just being a 'swell guy' or the only other cock provider is a nerdy fat dork..

Either way..

OH and if you like tits and ass? this anime is full of it. Ass and tits EVERYWHERE it's a very fan serivce fuled anime and you could tell the person making it was having a very long dry spell and needed to see someones ass and tits regardless of who or whats. But if you don't mind that then this is a great anime, if your really not a fan of over sexed things... boy you will hate it in the first ten minutes.

The show also shows the nature of people who survive, we have a teacher who is nuts and saves a handful of students but turns them into a sex crazed cult who follow his every word. It's good to have a show that's kids trying to survive in the end of the world type deal and how they are forced to grow up and cope with it.

Plot: 3/5

Gore: 5/5

Animation: 4.5/5

Over all enjoyment: 5/5

I heart it.

Necromentia

[2009]

Now on the back of the DVD it says it's inspired by Clive Barkers work.. if 'inspired' means pretty much ripped off then I will agree. It reminds me of Hellraiser in so, so many ways but despite that it's still a good movie.

The plot keeps going from one focus to another every other scene almost so it's a little hard to keep up with unless your paying attention.. unlike me who is writing notes the whole way through. Ugh.

It's based on the lives of three main people. A man called Travis and his handicapped brother, a fay man called Hagen and his dead wife and a mute. But you don't see much about the mute fello till the end.

The movies entrance sequence is alot of creepy and different flashing images which really gets you interested in what the movie has to offer, it's gory and stylish and is a good taster of what's to come. Hagen, the fat guy waked up in a shitty sort of rape ally meets a Freddy Kruger pipe works area almost naked and dripping blood from his back.

Voices of a woman ring all around him and he is pretty confused as anyone would be after waking up in a small shitty alley covered in blood and a massive headache, it's like an average weekend for some students though...

We then see our first demonic being which spouts some crap at the man.

The next scene is the fat guy Hagen talking to his dead wife and giving her a bath, talking about keeping her nice and clean, how he loves her and how he is going to bring her back to life. His basement is full of odd shit and when he gets her out the bath and hooks her into some freaky contraption to test her joints or something it's very much a Frankenstienish image.

There is even an awkward scene where he speards her legs and looks up 'there' with a flash light. Yep, still dead. I have no idea why this was part of the movie but the guy looks like a massive creeper anyway so what do I know? looking at dead people's genitals might be the standard for creeps?

The woman playing dead needs to be a little more.. 'dead' acting as you could see her breathing from time to time and moving her eyelids, I'm sure playing dead is hard but it's these small things that people like me notice that takes from the hard work they had done thus far.

Next scene we have is the man working in a barbers shop and two biker-y types burst in and tell him they know about his dead wife, the baths and the necrophilia and give him the most uncomfortable shave of his life.

But one biker also tells him there is a way to bring his wife back.. they have the power to bring the dead back to life and they want to help him. Biker with shades gives him a sob story about how he was going to do this to his brother but they'd burnt the body before he had a chance.. desperate to get his wife back to life he goes with these very shady folks.

There is alot of occult themed talking and mumbo jumbo and out comes the occult books and all the gab that comes with it. I've watched enough horror to know an odd bit or two about Ouija Boards but this is a whole new concept and it's pretty neat. By carving the board into someones back you can use them to get the dead back or go into hell.

So this is how fat man ends up with a bloody back, he has a nice new cut tattoo of the occult on him.

Now we go back in time and see our next main character 'Travis' his folks are dead and he is struggling for money, skint, living in a shit hole and having to look after his mentally and physically disabled younger brother.

Now we really end up feeling sorry for Travis, seeing the struggle he's going through, coping with money issues and a brother like this. Trying his best to make a life for them both and it seems really frustrating having a brother with so many problems and doing it all alone and he has a job to try and keep at.

He leaves his brother to go off to work and leaves the TV on for him... This is where the odd part of the movie comes in, this really happy and cheerful song about suicide comes on and a really big pig character called 'Mr Skinny' comes to entertain the brother and try get him to kill himself..

Nothing like seeing a really fat man in barbwire..

We are then taken to another scene which seems a mix between a Jigsaw trap and extreme bondage as a woman is tied to a very flash but grimey looking table in all sorts of BDSM style ropes and belts while a masked figure tortures her. Alot of well done gore and realistic blood which is an awesome point of this movie, none of the gore looks fake it all looks pretty good. Some of the best I've seen if I'm honest.

We then learn that the crazy woman paid for the torture and the masked man is Travis, yes his job is torture.

Travis is also hooked on drugs and does some after his little 'job' and has what most people think is a bad trip but he meets a grey awkwardly handsome demon who keeps visiting him in his head from time to time and is trying to worn him about the bad things going on with his brother at home.

He rushes home and catches his brother before he kills himself but from then on realises he can't leave his brother alone any more... He asks another scruffy looking man, a friend to look after his brother while he goes off to maim more people for money.

Sitter falls asleep and the brother with the aid of Mr Skinny kills the friend and hangs himself.

Demon once more warns Travis to go home but it's too late, the demon then makes a trade with Travis, if he helps the demon he will get his brother back and soon Travis is taught all the occult stuff and practises on his dead friend, cutting the Ouija board into his stomach.

Soon after this the plot goes nuts and moves away from these two people and to the mute guy and how everyone's pasts all link up.

I won't go into that as it's an awesome end plot and it finishes it up really nicely and neatly.

Monster's all look like they got dropped from the Hellrasier final cut, the gore is very well done. The actors are good, the acting good, stylishly shot with the dirty grainy feel the whole movie has from start to finish.

I had no ideas what this movie would be like but it's a good one.

Plot: 4.5/5

Gore: 5/5

Acting: 4/5

Scares: 0/5

Overall enjoyment: 4.5/5
