Hey everyone! Welcome to KindaTV, the home of Carmilla.
I'm your host, your friendly neighborhood Natasha, but most of you hopefully recognize me―
hopefully―as the actress who plays Carmilla in Carmilla series and the soon-to-be Carmilla movie.
If you are a creampuff―
a.k.a a fan of this series―
you will have seen me drink a myriad of different types of fake blood over the years as I play Carmilla,
but that's all over because Carmilla's a human again!
[slowed down] Or is she?
Well, she is, but without giving away too many spoilers,
at the end of season three, Carmilla regains her humanity and becomes a human again.
[Elise/Laura] Do you have a heartbeat?
♪ [dramatic music] ♪
But, part of the adventure of the movie is that she does start to show signs of revamping...
I can't give away too many spoilers, but in the movie,
she does drink a little bit of this "Hemo-Soy."
This is an actual prop from the set of the movie,
that I had to drink, and I do receive a lot of questions asking me "What is the fake blood?"
"What do you actually have to drink?"
Each year has been something different,
And there are a ton of different types of fake blood that you can enjoy,
some of it is not as edible,
it's used as makeup for prosthetics,
some of it is a little bit more liquidy. It depends on what you're using it for,
but all of the blood that I drink
Is food grade, and it's mostly food coloring, corn syrup, and chocolate sauce, but at KindaTV,
we wanted to try to make some fake blood of our own. Give our art department a run for the money!
Just kidding. Our art department is amazing. Look at this prop!
Like it actually has nutrition facts and everything on it.
Like I love how...
detailed they were. It's so, so fantastic.
So according to the recipe,
all you have to do is blend it all together, and it should just magically turn into fake blood.
Seems too simple. I don't know if I trust it.
I am going to cover my workspace with some paper towel because knowing me...
Uh... It's gonna get messy.
15 seconds at a time, and then I'll stir it up.
OOH! Nope.
Oh my God, this is not microwavable.
[laughing] Set my house on fire...
Quarter cup of fruit punch... which is already like, a very unsettling color.
It's not natural.
Half a cup of corn syrup. Half a cup seems like a lot.
Ooooooooooooooooooooooh...
'Dis gonna be STIII-CKYYYYY!
Half a tablespoon of chocolate syrup. Wow, this is nostalgic. I don't think I've made...
chocolate milk since I was like, eight years old.
I don't have a half tablespoon spoon , so I'm just going to eyeball it.
[stammers]
No, that's definitely not half, well, that's more than half well, okay. There we go.
Tablespoon of corn starch.
Half a tablespoon of powdered cocoa... This looks like about half...
And then as much red food coloring as you desire...? I suppose?
[laughs] That's not the real recipe. I'm just saying that.
Okay. This―I mean, I don't know how strong this is.
Well, that looks like it could be okay?
And then apparently you're just supposed to blend it up!
Let's see what happens.
Aw, yeah...
Oh, gross...
It's not― it's not too bad. I mean it looks pretty bloody. It's a bit chunky...
I think I want it to be a little bit thicker though, so I want to experiment.
Oooh, yeah.
[robotic voice] THICKEN IT UP!
Who needs measurements? Who needs rules? See!
Weeee! Add a bit more of this...
[blender whirring]
Ah, now it looks like― [blender stops] really old blood. Or like―
like a really... unhealthy... poo.
It's pretty gross, like it's all frothy, like it looks like I was just blendin' up some hearts.
Mmmm, delicious.
Okay, now for the moment of truth. How does it taste?
♪ ♪
Mmm!
This is actually quite delicious. This is very good.
But obviously, the better it tastes, the worse it looks.
'Cause it's not as epic-looking as this fake blood here.
[stammering] They'll never tell us―us. They'll never― n― Wow. Can't speak English.
[very fast] I'VE HAD TOO MUCH SUGAR ALREADY.
This was a fun experiment. If you want to try it at home,
or if you have a better recipe for fake blood,
leave me a comment below and let me know.
Also let me know, who are you planning on seeing the Carmilla movie with?
Who will you be watching it with?
Please, let me know. And thanks again for watching this video.
Don't forget, wherever you are, keep it Kinda classy.
Now Mama needs a drink!
Mmm!
