Have you ever wondered what your bathroom might look like if a psycho killer went bananas in your shower? I have!
I was trying to come up with fun and cheap Halloween decorations to make this year. I don't really have any "theme" to my projects (except Halloween!). I've been seeing a lot of blood-splattered stuff around opsthe Internet and in Halloween sh this year, so I decided I would make a blood-splattered decorative hand towel to add a subtle Halloween touch to our bathroom.
It was just too much fun making the hand towel, and our bathroom is so small and plain, so I decided I needed to finish the job and turn my bathroom into a murder scene.
Here's What You Will 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
(I found a cheap hand towel and bath towel for $1 each at Dollar Tree, DO NOT USE YOUR GOOD TOWELS)
DESTRUCTIBLE White Shower Curtain
(I also found this at Dollar Tree)
Optional - LED Color Changing Shower head $15 on amazon.com for epic lighting effects during showers.

Signing UpStep 1: Make the Gore
Take your acrylic paint and squirt a good sized amount onto your plastic plate.
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.) Mix well using your paintbrush.
Add in just a little bit of isopropyl alcohol to give it the right thickness (if it is too thick it won't run, too thin and it will)
If you add in a bit much too isopropyl, let it sit out for 5 minutes before using, stirring every minute or two.

Slow fade in, front door of home opens. In laws walk in, sit down.
Homeowner:
Glad you could come over for coffee. Have you seen our new kitchen?
In Law:
Nope. Remodelling or something.
Homeowner:
Yeah, you could say that. Come let me show you.
The two of them walk towards the kitchen past the bathroom. The bathroom door (where the "murder scene" is) is closed, hiding it from view. Upon entering the kitchen, there's food on the stove cooking, a coffee pot .. and a huge butcher knife in the sink with a tiny trace of blood on it.
Homeowner:
Don't you have a daughter? Where is she?
In Law:
Not sure. She wandered off earlier.
Homeowner:
I heard she's been missing a while. I'm going to call the police and file a missing person report I think.
In Law: (acting very nervous)
Oh ... you don't need to do that. She'll be here shortly. Oh, where's the restroom?
Homeowner (walking back towards the closed door):
Right here. You're welcome to use it.
In Law opens the door to be greeted by flashing red LED shower light, and a realistic looking "murder scene" ... runs out screaming, peeing his pants on the way out the front door.
Homeowner: (to audience, Rod Serling style)
Well ... he DID ask to use the restroom. I was just getting it prepped for my halloween party. I do hope he finds his daughter soon!
Sudden cut to black.

Invite the NEW girl friend home and invite her to use the shower to freshen up - and leave a huge carving knife in the sink.....
LOL
I think she will leave silently by the window....
Pretty cool though. All it needs is a red rug in front of the shower cut out in the shape of a person with white "tape" around it.
