MehronMakeup Stage Blood - 6 Pack of Easy to Fill Empty Capsules with 0.5 Ounce Tube of Blood - (Bright Arterial)

If you're an actor, filmmaker, or someone who just really enjoys faking your death in dramatic ways, then stage blood capsules are about to become your new best friend. These little wonders are designed to make you look like you’ve been stabbed, shot, or bitten by a vampire—without, you know, actually dying in the process. It’s basically the "instant blood" you never knew you needed.Performance: It’s Like the Movies—Only Less MessyLet’s be honest—if you’ve ever seen a movie where someone dramatically spits blood all over the place, you’ve thought, “Wow, that looks super fake. But how do I do that without ruining my life?” Stage blood capsules to the rescue! These tiny pills are packed with blood-like liquid that bursts the moment you bite down, delivering the kind of theatrical "blood explosion" that could make even the most seasoned horror movie star jealous.And we’re not talking about some sad, watery trickle here. No, no. We’re talking thick, rich, vampire-movie-style blood that looks suspiciously close to the real thing—without the need for a blood bank or a job in the ER.There’s a fine art to using them, though. Too soft a bite and the capsule won’t pop. Too hard, and you could end up with a mouthful of sharp, oddly textured gelatin instead of a heroic "splatter effect." There’s an ideal "Goldilocks" zone of bite pressure here, but don’t worry, you’ll find it (after a few disastrous takes).Ease of Use: Instant Drama with a BiteStage blood capsules are as easy as 1-2-bite! Just pop one into your mouth, wait for the scene to be right, and bam—instant blood geyser. They’re small enough to hide in your cheek like you’re smuggling candy (which, in a way, you kind of are, but with more theatrical flair). The best part? No special training required! You can have zero acting experience, and still look like you’re having an extremely bad day in a bloodbath.However, pro tip: don't swallow them. It seems obvious, but you'd be surprised how many people end up choking on fake blood before they even hit the stage. If you’re going to fake your death, do it with style, not asphyxiation.Safety and Comfort: It’s Blood, Not Actual MurderThe biggest concern with stage blood capsules is that, well, you’re putting something in your mouth that explodes and contains a substance that looks like the contents of a very bad Halloween prank. Thankfully, most stage blood capsules are made from food-safe ingredients like gelatin or glycerin, so they won’t poison you (unless you’re allergic to, you know, edible gelatin).That said, the texture can sometimes feel a little weird—especially if you're using them in quick, intense scenes. There's a subtle moment of, “Oh, is this thing going to work?” as you’re about to explode into a dramatic scene—but once the blood is out, it’s all worth it.Also, it’s always a good idea to rinse your mouth afterward unless you want to go around looking like a horror movie villain for the rest of the day. You’ll also want to avoid swallowing the stuff, because that’ll just lead to a weird taste and a conversation you definitely don’t want to have with your dentist.Cleanup: It’s Almost Too EasyUnlike real blood (which will forever stain your favorite white shirt), stage blood capsules are super easy to clean up. There’s no massive cleanup effort unless you’ve gone full-on "splatter zone" in a 360-degree radius. A quick rinse of your mouth and you're good to go! The best part? Your costume probably won’t look like a crime scene afterward—unless, of course, you go overboard and then your costume might need a bit of laundry TLC.Durability: Handle with Care... But Don’t Worry, It’s Not FragileWhile stage blood capsules are mostly tough little nuggets, they’re still made of a gelatin-like material that can break if you throw them around like you’re in a "frenzied bloodbath." (Which, let’s be honest, might actually be a fun take on the "action scene" genre.) Just keep them in a cool, dry place, and they’ll serve you well.Also, if you’re one of those people who drops things constantly (guilty), you might want to invest in a sturdy case to carry your blood capsules around. Nothing says "professional" like showing up with a pocketful of crushed stage blood capsules and having to explain to your director that, yes, you did accidentally eat one earlier in the day.Cost: Cheap Thrills on a BudgetOne of the best things about stage blood capsules is that they won’t break your bank—unless you’re buying them by the thousand. For a few bucks, you get a little vial of tiny blood bombs that will give you enough dramatic splatters to last through the most gory of performances or films. The more you buy, the cheaper they get—so, you know, you could go full "Tarantino" on your next project if you want. Who doesn’t love a good blood-soaked scene?Conclusion: The "Scream Queen" SpecialStage blood capsules are the unsung heroes of theatrical effects. They’re low-cost, easy to use, and ridiculously fun for actors who want to experience a scene from any slasher film without the need for fake prosthetics or actual blood sacrifices. Once you get the hang of biting them just right, you'll be the master of dramatic death scenes.So if you’ve ever dreamed of taking center stage in a vampire romance or gore-fest without the hassle of cleaning up afterward, grab a handful of these bad boys. And remember: the only thing worse than dying on stage is trying to get the fake blood out of your costume afterward!

The media could not be loaded. Used it for the first time in someone’s mouth for a music video, I like how it looked, the color was good and I wish I would of bought more

The blood itself is a great color and consistency. I wasn’t aware that the capsules dissolve, but I do see that it is in the product description. The problem I encountered is that when a capsule softens and starts to dissolve, the amount of liquid in the mouth means the capsules are slow to completely dissolve. This made me hesitant to push the blood out of my mouth because it would also include the lumpy undissolved remains of the pill. Other than that, the taste is cloying and unpleasant, but tolerable - I don’t expect fake blood to taste good.

Used it onstage for a live show with my band when I feigned an injury during one of our performances. A couple people apparently wanted to call 911. That should tell you how good this stuff looks

Capsules are super easy to open, fill, and close. The vial has just enough to fill all of the capsules once. Capsules are durable enough to use multiple times depending on their use.

I’d mentioned to one of my students with an eye on a career in show biz, how I’d use to use fake blood I’d used as a reenactor as a prop in school skits. She loved the idea and asked if I’d had any left. That’s where the project currently stands; we’ll keep you updated.

I was worried about the flavor of this, but it was fine. What didn’t work was the capsules. There was no fluid flow like I wanted. Only bought it because of the 4 star rating which obviously I don’t agree with.

The capsules were literally the one thing I needed and they were not included. Lol
