How to Make Fake Blood Using Kool Aid
Fake blood is used for pranks, in theater, on film, and during a certain ghoulish holiday at the end of October. The number of recipes for fake blood is as numerous the options for its use. Some recipes rely on a corn-syrup base, while others utilize the same stuff that makes Jell-O so wiggly: gelatin. Alfred Hitchcock is said to have used Bosco chocolate syrup during the memorably bloody shower scene in "Psycho". Kool-Aid powder is another oft-used ingredient due its high amount of red food coloring.
