And for my second bloody show question -

After a hand to hand fight, the victim is stabbed. Again, we have to see the blood. Because of all the activity right before the stabbing, I'm a little concerned about going with pre-slit plastic bags.

We don't have any nice retractable blade knives, anyhow, and I'd like to use one with a retractable blade AND a blood bladder. At least, I'm assuming that's the best way to stab-n-bleed. Any suggestions for sources? Or simple rigging?

Thanks.

What the heck is the name of this show?!
Was it written by Sam Peckinpah?

If all of your replies are going to make me laugh as hard as "Sam Peckinpah" did, I don't think I should mention the show - just to keep the entertaining guesses going.

We are doing Jane Martin's "Flaming Guns of the Purple Sage - a 'B' Western Horror Flick for the Stage." We also have to have a garbage bag full of human body parts. Oh, and the shooting victim then drinks a beer that we see come out of his bullet holes. Fun times ...

Sure you are done already but FYI the best blood packs I have ever used are made with a Cheap condom. (non lube) they break every time. The actor breaks these themselves so it works better for gunshots than stabing. Be sure to tie them tight. Happy blood bath!!
