In Chicago, there is going to a movie trailer contest this October. I'm making a spoof slasher trailer, but I have a problem: I'm not good at gore effects. What can /diy/ tell me about gore effects?

Practical effects are best, how much pain can you tolerate?
of its a spoof, then you should have it in italian, with subtitles that are completely different to what's said in italian, and then go for proper 70's blatantly obviously red paint fake blood.

Use methyl cellulose, a particularly versatile slimy material. It is safe and semi transparent you can also add colouring. That way you can make alien slime or with some lighting even lava effects.

There was a show that went over a lot of the effects in depth, i want to say it was masters or horror but that might have just been interviews.
A lot of those dudes just walked through hardware stores and looked at things. Pic related, the blood that shoots in a rhythm like a heart pumping is just one of these.
There used to be a a youtube series, like 7 or 8 years ago, that went over a bunch of tricks(like sugar glass).
A lot is clay, latex, magnets, wires, mirrors.
Fake blood can be a bunch of things. Red paint was conmon like the other anon said(and funny compared to modern standards), a common one involves chocolate syrud and food die, but i always liked the mustard from the phantasm movies.
Repurposing things was a big part of the art, like the michael meyers mask being a spray painted captain kirk mask.
You have to have at least one kill that would be impossible to pull off on a budget(like being pulled into a wood chipper) where it shows the machine, shows the person screaming while zooming in on their face, then shows a wall getting spattered in blood.
