There are several types of blood effects that you can go out and buy. Liquid bloods are for sale all over the place and I can tell you from experience, they taste terrible. I like to have the blood in my mouth to spray out, or let it drip down my chin into my beard and down my shirt. Well, if it tastes bad, then you are going to spend a lot of time spitting out the effect that you were trying to get.
One of my favorite blood recipes is as follows:
Chocolate Blood
You will need:
1/2 a cup of warm water
1 heaping tablespoon of cocoa powder
4-5 tablespoons of white corn syrup (I use Karo)
1/2-1 tablespoon of red food coloring
2 drops of yellow, green, or blue food coloring (This is optional and depends on what type of blood coloration you are going for)
Begin by mixing the cocoa powder with the warm water making sure that you stir the concoction so that it all becomes a liquid. Add your white corn syrup making sure that it mixes well and doesn't clump up. Mix your food coloring in blending it well and then let it settle for a bit, maybe ten to fifteen minutes. If there are still bubbles on top, either skim the scum off using a paper towel, or pour it into another container. The longer your blood sits, the more that the cocoa tends to separate out and settle to the bottom of your container.
Now, some of the fun stuff that you can use this for is blood spatters, which look very convincing. You can also let it drool out of your mouth and let it dry. It will actually look like clotted blood. I do this and let it drip into my beard and it looks like I have been enjoying a little bit of cannibalism.
A note of caution: any of the concoction that you do not use, throw it away since it will ferment.
