You're not going to be able to hide that much blood underneath the actor, so unless you plan on using an expensive dummy, I'm guessing you'll have to pipe the blood in. A long segment of rubber or plastic hose would work pretty well if the blood isn't mixed too thick (and you won't want to be...

I've been told the key ingrediants, but not the qualtities, and I haven't tried it yet. Apprarently it looks very real and even congeals like real blood. If you are interested in experimenting a little, here's what I know... You will want food coloring, of course, to color it with. Combine red...

Here's one you may or may not have already discovered. It's not exactly a "how-to" book, but it's something you should definately look into -- my favorite all-around filmmaking book: Making Movies, written by the great director Sidney Lumet. He discusses a few of his films (gems like 12 Angry...
