Halloween is just a month away which means its time to party and seems like most people start looking for fabulous Halloween costume ideas 2009. This year I believe the most in demand costumes to come out will be the vampire themes due to the popularity brought to us by “Twilight” movies, “The Vampire Diaries and “True Blood”.

Surely some incredibly popular dead celebrities will come out to be another option such the like of Michael Jackson, Patrick Swayze or Farrah Fawcett to name a few. And also the 60’s hippie costumes to commemorate the 40th Anniversary of Woodstock.

light corn syrup

hot water

liquid soap

green or red food coloring (optional)

After that, you can add the red base food coloring in the mixture and if you wish to create a darker fake blood, add a tad of blue or green food coloring and refrigerate until you need it.
