Bloody Bathroom Massacre
Want to make your bathroom look
as though a slaughter has
taken place? Well, here's how we did it.
Bloody Shower Curtain
This gory looking shower curtain liner really sets the stage
for what must have been a bloody bathroom massacre. Perfect
for creating a real blood bath, this full size white shower curtain
is printed with lots of bloody handprints and gruesome
smears.
Made from light-weight translucent vinyl and measures seventy inches by seventy-two inches.
Its functional as a real shower curtain too! We used a black
shower valance with ours.
Red Towels
First, you want lots of red
in the bathroom. We temporarily replaced our
regular bath linens with bright red colored bath towels,
hand towels and wash cloths. Red bath linens are available at most department
stores and online retailers year round. As an added bonus,
you can use these during the Xmas holiday as well.
As an alternative, you could buy
inexpensive white towels at a discount store and purposely
stain them with red acrylic craft paint as though they had
been used to clean up blood. To do this we took a small
bottle of red craft paint and spread it over a paper plate.
Then with latex gloves on, we moved our hands in the paint
to lightly coat the surface of the gloves. Next, we grabbed
the towels and cleaned off our hands on the towels just like
we would if they were wet. Then the towels are hung on a
clothesline for a couple of days to dry. Just remember, once
you do this these can only be used as Halloween decorations,
as the towels will be permanently stained with paint, but
they look great.
Drips of Blood Gel Cling
Perfect for use on windows or any glass surface, including a
mirror, this Halloween decoration creates a realistic illusion of
dripping blood. The red translucent, gel-like substance will
adhere to any smooth glass surface and peels off easily when
you want to remove it.
Measures eighteen inches wide by twelve inches tall.
This product should not for
used on walls, wood or metal doors as it will cause
staining. We use this material to run along the entire top
of our bathroom mirrors to create the effect of fresh blood
running down the mirror.
Dripping Blood Border Roll -
Scene Setters
While not as 3D looking as the product
described above, the
dripping blood cling will not stain walls or doors. Add simulated dripping blood around the top of
the tub or bottom of a shower stall. "Dripping Blood"
Halloween decoration works well on glass or and on any clean, smooth
surface. Using tacks or tape, add a strip of this to the top
of both the inside and outside of the bathroom door. Next,
attach pieces to run around the entire ceiling of the
bathroom.
Available at Halloween shops and department stores during
October. The Dripping Blood Border Roll comes in a fifty
foot roll.
Red Toilet Tissue
Renova Color Toilet Paper comes in
a nice bright color of red. This toilet paper is a biodegradable,
non-toxic, soothing tissue and does not bleed any color when
wet. Available from:
Satin Box.
Gruesome Signs
As
a final touch, we decided to hang a couple of really
disturbing Halloween signs on the door and wall as a couple
of really gory Halloween decorations.
The "Chop Shop Sign with
Cleaver" sign looks like a roughly hewn, charred wooden sign
with the words "Chop Shop" carved into it. Hanging beneath
it from simulated twisted wire is an old bloody cleaver. It
hangs from simulated twisted wire. The "Chop Shop" sign is
made of sturdy plastic and measures fifteen inches wide by
twelve inches long to the bottom of the cleaver. We hung
this one on the back side of the door.
The "Butcher Shop" sign looks
like a roughly hewn, charred wooden sign and implement
hanging board with the words "Butchers Shop" carved into it.
Hanging from it are old and bloody butchering tools,
including a large knife, cleaver and sickle. It hangs via a
simulated old chain. This sign is a blow molded plastic fake
wood sign measuring eleven inches wide by sixteen inches
tall. We hung this sign on the wall.
