Psycho Bathroom Murder Scene Halloween Decorations

What you'll need:

• Plastic plate
• Crimson/Dark Red Acrylic Paint
• Isopropyl Alcohol
• Red Food Coloring
• Blue Food Coloring
• Paint Brush
• Destructible white hand towel and bath towel
• Destructible white shower curtain

Directions:

1. Take the acrylic pain and squirt a good sized amount onto the plastic plate.
2. Add in red and blue food coloring (2 drops red to 1 drop blue, as much as needed to make it a light bloody color.  It will dry darker colored.  Mix well with your paintbrush.
3. Add in just a little bit of isopropyl alcohol to give it the right thickness. (If it's too thick, it won't run and too thin will be too runny.)  If you add a bit too much isopropyl alcohol, let it sit out for 5 minutes before using, stirring every minute or two.
4. Hang up your hand and bath towels where you can splatter paint on them.  Outside works best so you don't make a mess.
5. Gather a large splotch of paint onto your paintbrush and fling it at the towels.  Don't be afraid to experiment with the direction, speed and proximity of your flings as well as how much paint you use per fling.  Try to make it look as real as possible.
6. Place your hand(s) into the plate of paint making sure you get a good amount of paint on them.
7. Grab and pull at the towels, this roughs up the splatters and makes them look less purposeful.
8. To create soaked bloodstains, dip spots of the towel into your paint.
9. Squish your towel into a ball and run the ball under water for 10 seconds, squishing and rotating while you do, just long enough to get the entire towel slightly damp.
10. Squish out all the water and hang up to dry.  This makes all the blood run and mix together.
11. Next, hang up the shower curtain.  You may need to weight it down on the bottom to keep it from blowing around on you.  
12. Repeat the splatter effect that you used on the towels all over the shower curtain.  More paint - bigger splatters, so if you want to have larger splatters on your curtain mix up more paint and fling more paint at once.
13. Gather a large puddle of paint onto each of your hands.  Press one hand against the curtain and drag it slightly, letting the rest of the paint flow down the curtain.  With the other hand, grab and tug on the curtain to create a smeared hand print.
14. Take your paint and add a little more isopropyl alcohol to make a thinner blood in a fairly large quantity.  Throw your plate of paint at the curtain, preferably near the hand prints.  Careful of any folds, they catch paint and make streaks.
15. Let the paint dry fully before you hang your accessories up in your bathroom.  A full afternoon of sunshine should do the trick.
16. Finally, hang up the decorative towels whenever company comes over to help get them in the Halloween spirit.http://inspiredtolaugh.net/psycho-bathroom-murder-scene-halloween-decorations/
