Thread: Blood sprayer or Squirter

Tweet

Ok everyone, I know you all are thinking "Oh come on there are a million different ways to make it look like someone is bleeding or dripping blood"

Well yes, thats true...but I need something more.

I have a scene at my haunted trail that is made up to look like a kitchen. I have a stove, a sink, cabinets, a fridge...I have it all. I am going to have my "chef" take one of the family members sitting at the table and angrily shove his hand down the sink, triggering a garbage disposal sound (don't worry, its an old sink, and the guts and garbage disposal have been removed, its merely the shell of the sink) I want blood to splatter up all over the wall as the kid is screaming and yelling.

I really just need a spray, like a spray bottle almost, but I need a more definitive spray....something that is easier to see by the patrons.

I come to you guys on here because everyone here is the best. So, if anyone has any videos, tutorials, or just any advice at all, please let me know.

Thanks to all and happy haunting!

I seem to recall some tricks in these videos that may help
YouTube- Blood FX Tutorial
YouTube- Blood Delivery Demonstration with Instructor Ralis Kahn at CMS

You may also be able to modify a pneumatic spitter assembly to suit your purpose.

As for visibility, if you backlight the blood (that is, have the light pointing through the blood and in the general direction of your patrons), it will be easier for them to see it

Love this show, your post reminded me. You could easily modify this. It isnt a whole lot different than the post above me (sorry Mr. Chicken ), but figured i would bring your attention to these guys. Look up some of their other episodes on youtube, you wont be dissapointed, the Halloween episodes are really interesting too. Sorry bout the long windedness, here is the vid in question.

If more people knew about this show, the world would be a better place!

About 10 years ago I did a butchers curtain with blood spraying on it, I used an alternating servo head (since recycled) and some old wipper spray pumps and a couple of blinker relays for pulsing. You can use different tubing and nozles to get the desired spray patterns.

I used the wiper pump for years and it works great if you want a squirt or spread out spray (just put a tip from a spray bottle on the end)

Swiffer wet jet sprayer

Some good ideas here. I've been looking for a way to do some on-stage blood spray effects.
