How do you make a bloody corpse? im using a bucky for a butcher shop and am building a corpse erector for animatronic but anyone have any pics or videos or ideas on how to make a very bloody gory corpse!
Thanks,
Chris

I used a gelatin,a little bit of water and spfx blood mix of corn syrup ( 1 cup) and red and blue food coloring(20 drops and 4 drops respectively) , cook in microwave( about 20 seconds worked really well ! found that you can eliminate the corn syrup, this will speed up dry time considerably. if it gels to quickly you just re- heat it in microwave. you can slop it on as heavy as you want and even get really good drips that will stay in place for the most part. NOT WATERPROOF. use some tissue paper and latex ( or latex paint) for tattered flesh and spiderwebbing or string dipped in the latex for sinew/ tendons. hope this helps.

I'm guessing that you want the animatronic to have a "jelly" like skin. If you want the slimmy fresh blood look the easiest way would be to make it from silicon. Less expensive and no baking required. Check these guys out for a tutorial>

That sounds awesome i want to try it. However do you have a pic or video so i can see how yours came out cause i have a specific look im going for and i want to see!
also can i just pantyhose and latex the whole bucky then dump a bunch of that recipe stuff on the corpse?
