Just in time for Halloween, this video shows you how to make fake wounds with gum or Fx wax. These gashes look pretty realistic. They can be pulled off simply and inexpensively. Here's what you need:

Materials

1. Fx wax or gum
2. Skin tone foundation
3. Blade
4. Black and red makeup
5. Fake blood

The video shows the transformation from bare foot to seriously injured foot. It's quite impressive. He sure makes it look easy slicing through the gum; personally, I'd be a bit nervous about that part. I guess it's the price we'll pay for a great gag. Top off your costume with these realistic looking wounds and you'll be ready to terrify your neighbors this Halloween.

This Halloween trick is sure to terrify your friends and have you go down in history with the best prank of the year. Elaborate makeup with fake wounds and oozing blood are staples of gruesome Halloween costumes, but what about blood that appears without any wound at all? Imagine that you saw somebody get cut with a knife, and blood starts seeping from where the fresh wound. You'd be pretty freaked out, just like your friends will be when you pull this one on them.

This video shows you how to create the two solutions necessary for this trick. The first solution, a Potassium thiocyante formula gets poured onto your body in the place where you want the blood to appear. You then dip the knife in the second solution, a Ferric Nitrate formula. Use the blunt end of the knife (or better yet, get a prop knife to avoid any mistakes) and pretend to slice on the same spot that you applied the Potassium. The result: a stream of realistic looking blood as the knife is pulled down the skin. Check out the video, you'll be shocked at how convincing this one is.
