What makes Transfusion Blood different from other film blood?
Most film blood formulas are syrup- or sorbitol-based. They stick, run, smear and need constant touching up - exactly what you do not want on a long shoot day or during a haunted house event. Transfusion Blood breaks with that formula. The cellulose base dries to a high-gloss wet look that does not stick, smudge or transfer.
Once dry, the blood stays exactly where you put it. Drips hold their shape, deep wounds keep their texture and spatters stay sharply defined. For film, theatre and haunted houses, this means you work without constantly having to touch up.
How to apply Dark Blood
Apply Dark Blood directly from the vial using a brush, sponge or dropper. Different tools give different effects:
- Ben Nye Mini Splatter Brush for realistic blood spatters and splatter patterns
- FBFX duo-hair stipple brush for wound texture and depth around the wound
- A fine brush for sharp drips, blood streaks along veins and deep cut lines
Pro tip: Build Dark Blood up in thin layers for maximum depth. Start with a broad brush stroke as a dark base, then add small-drop details directly from the vial. Mix Dark Blood on the skin with a spatula or old brush together with Scab Tone for an oxidised, discoloured blood effect on older wounds or corpse make-up.
How long does it last and how to remove it
Dark Blood lasts 24 to 72 hours on the skin, depending on placement and friction. No setting is needed - the cellulose formula dries to a lasting finish on its own. Removal does require the right approach. Per situation:
- On skin: Start with EBA Vapore 60ml - EBA's dedicated remover. Apply Vapore to the blood layer and leave for 30-60 seconds so the cellulose releases. Then gently dab with a cotton pad or soft cloth. Do not rub - dabbing dissolves more than scrubbing. For residual colour after Vapore: warm water with mild soap, dabbing. Dark Blood can leave a temporary reddish-brown shadow on fair skin due to its deep pigment - this fades within a few hours.
- On fabric or clothing: Rinse immediately with cold water - warm water sets the stain. Then treat with stain remover or detergent before washing.
- Near eyes or sensitive skin: Avoid alcohol-based remover near the eyes. Use mild soap and water or a cleansing oil instead.
- On latex or silicone prosthetics: Vapore works here too, but allow 1-2 minutes of contact time for deeper layers.
Combine with other SFX palettes for complete wound looks
For realistic wound make-up, combine Dark Blood with European Body Art's Encore Alcohol Activated palettes:
- Encore Injury palette for bruises, contusions and skin discolouration around the wound
- Encore Tormented palette for haunt FX and horror themes
- Encore Autopsy palette (Bruce Spaulding Fuller) for corpse and post-mortem effects

The Transfusion Blood range has 4 colours, each for a different blood phase:
- Bright Blood - fresh arterial, bright red (nosebleeds, cuts)
- The Blood - deep red medium-dark (heavy bleeding, signature EBA blood)
- Dark Blood - dark with brown and blue undertones (dead or undead characters, older wounds)
- Scab Tone - deep brown scab colour (blood crusts, healed wounds)
What can you use Dark Blood for?

- Theatre and stage productions
- Haunted houses, scare mazes and horror events
- Cosplay and character work with wound effects
- Underwater shoots and pool scenes
- Zombie, corpse and undead characters where dark venous blood sells the effect

Safety and storage
Designed for ages 14 and over. Avoid application near the mouth, eyes, nose and ears. The blood can cause temporary discolouration on skin and staining on clothing - work in old clothes or on protected sets.
For best adhesion, clean the skin with 70% isopropyl alcohol first, avoid lotions and oils on the application area, and pat dry with a towel (do not rub). Store the product in a cool, dry place with the vial tightly closed.
