fake blood

Theatrical wound effect

Fake blood is a theatrical or cosmetic substance made to resemble real blood, used in film, television, stage productions, and Halloween costumes.

Recipes vary from corn syrup and food coloring to more sophisticated formulas that dry realistically or wash out easily: The fake blood kept staining the actress's costume between takes.
