Since Halloween is this Wednesday. And some of you are still think of what to go as or what you need for your costume. Here is a few recipes for fake blood.
11.	Mix creamy peanut butter with a sufficient amount of white corn syrup to make a runny mixture. 
2.	Add (non-sudsy) soap and food colors and mix well. 
3.	Stir more corn syrup in until the desired consistency is reached. 
4.	Refrigerate unused blood in an airtight container.
Tips:
1.	Inexpensive white corn syrup is said to be thicker and more suitable for the fake blood than its costlier relatives.
What You Need:
•	1 c (250mL) peanut butter 
•	1 qt. (1 L) corn syrup 
•	1/2 cup (125mL) soap 
•	1 oz (30mL) red color 
•	15 drops blue food color
Ingredients:
 
	1 pint of clear corn syrup
 
	100 drops red food coloring
 
	1/4 cup of water
 
	1/4 cup sifted flour or corn starch
 
	8 drops blue food coloring
 
	First remove about a 1/4 cup of the corn syrup, and replace it with an equal amount of water. Add the food coloring and mix the blood by gently shaking. 		 
 
	Now add the sifted flour (or corn starch) to your mixture, and gently mix it all again. If you use flour, you may get small lumps forming at the top of the mixture, if you do, then wait about a minute and they will float to the top where you can remove them.		 
 
	You now have a bottle of realistic fake blood! You can experiment with the amounts of ingredients which you feel gets you the best "blood like" consistency. 		 
You must be aware that this mixture may temporarily stain skin, and may permanently stain clothes. Because of the use of natural sugar in the corn syrup, this fake blood will not keep long. You can extend its shelf life by simply storing the blood in a refrigerator.

Recipe #3 - Dick Smith's Blood Formula 
For those of you looking for THE blood recipe here is a recipe created by master makeup artist Dick Smith. This is the same blood that was used in the movies, TAXI DRIVER, THE EXORCIST and LITTLE BIG MAN among others. 
Ingredients: 1 Quart White Corn Syrup 
                     1 Level Tsp Zinc Oxide (any laboratory
                         supply) 
                     2 Oz. Ehler Red Food Color 
                     5 Tsp Ehler Yellow Food Color 
                     2 Oz. Kodak Photo-Flo *Poisonous*
                          (any photo supply store)  
                     2 Oz. Of Water 
Instructions: Put the zinc oxide into a bowl, add an equal amount of water and paste. Add the food colouring and stir (If you are not using Ehler's brand yellow, use only one-half the amount indicated). Add a little of the corn syrup and mix well. Pour into a container that holds more than the final amount (you have to shake it up before use, as it may separate), add the remaining corn syrup and mix well. Then add the amount of water specified and mix again. This will give your blood a normal consistency. Keep this and all corn syrup recipes refrigerated when not in use (or it will grow mould) and mix well before use.
Note: Due to one of the ingredients being poisonous, this blood Recipe should not be used if it is likely to be swallowed during or after application - that is of course, unless you want a real death in your movie...
