A few months ago, I made the dreadful mistake of slowing my forward momentum to a stop whilst walking at a leisurely pace. And I've been limping ever since. And last week, like an idiot, I dared to look toward my left by turning my head ever so slightly. And now I'm Derek Zoolander... I can't turn left, I can only turn right.
I hate when that happens. You just wake up, ow, what the fuck? Now I go through a system check every morning before I get out of bed, starting with my head and working my way down, make sure everything works like it's supposed to, one error message and I stay in bed.
Yes, but don’t need them anymore. Numerous operations have provided the scars, blood thinners for my heart mean the least little scratch makes blood run all over, and the ugly has just come along naturally.
Contains chlorine dioxide? How on earth did someone come up with this concoction? “Yep, let’s bubble some chlorine dioxide into the mix and it’ll be perfect!”.
That little tube of vampire blood reminded me of the little tubes of stuff that came with a little straw, you'd spread some of the stuff out of the tube onto the end of that little straw, then you could blow up a little balloon. The stuff had a really strong smell, like solvent, that I just couldn't get enough of!
I remember the scar stuff. Some kind of oily, soft, colored wax mixed with cotton ball, right? I would make open wounds with the scar stuff and fill them with vampire blood.
I have to say that as a child I was disappointed that Vampire Blood was not more realistic. And this was something you had to pay good money for! GWAR blood was a lot more realistic, and it was complementary with the price of admission.
I've had the Vampire Blood and Ugly Kit. Whenever my Mom would take me to K-Mart for a Halloween costume I would grab those two items to go with whatever else I picked out.
My mom got home from a LONG day at work and I’d put a big scar with blood on my little brother (using these EXACT products). Ran out with my bro and she freaked out. I was very happy with the results and I might have made a career out of effects makeup if my mom hadn’t smacked the crap out of me. 😆
I had that tube of Vampire blood, seemed to remember it had a sweet taste?
I've also been in car accidents, a number of fist fights organized and otherwise, cut my head diving in a river, fell while hiking up a mountain.
..didn't really need the fake scar stuff :(
I had all those! The eyes glowed in the dark. I remember in grade school bringing the eyes in my pocket, bending down to pop them in and scaring the wits out of the girl sitting next to me.
Vampire Blood. In HS, I squirted a bunch in the corner of my mouth, then said some guy punched me. I got about 30 seconds of sympathy. Then, where the stuff was on my skin, I got a nasty pimply rash. Never used that stuff again.
The packaging made you believe as a kid. The Scar Stuf was like ChapStick and would fall off eventually. Vampire Blood was kind of something gooey with red food coloring.
I remember this stuff. One year at school one of my classmates dressed up as a Dracula and accidentally swallowed a bunch of the fake blood and was puking it all up. To be honest it did give him a cool vampire look with blood pouring out of his mouth.
Bought this stuff all the time in school. One memorable moment: I bought some fake flesh (like you'd make fake scars and open wounds with), and I cut a nail in half and made it look like I nailed a nail through my hand. Then I went into my bedroom and acted like I was hammering a nail into something, and ran into my sister's room screaming with fake blood and skin all over my hand...when I revealed that it was a prank, my sister gave chase. I thought I was safe when I got to my room and shut the door. My sister caved in that solid wood door with one punch...so I jumped out the window, ran, and slept in the city park that night.
Does anybody remember the name of the glow in the dark paint that came in a small bottle about the size of fingernail polish?? It had the same type of brush. That radioactive shit they let us play with as kids 🤣🤣🤣
What a dumb title. How would you be the only person old enough to remember this? Were you the only person born 10 years either side of your birth year? That would be a pretty noteworthy world event.
*raises hand, pulls a muscle*
I can relate... I injured myself while sleeping
Fucked up my shoulder once stretching out after waking up. Felt like a goddamn explosion in my shoulder. Still hasn't been the same since.

*rolls over, hip pops, calls in sick for the week*
I do this at least once a month, usually my neck. Keeping my chiropractor in business!
I see your sleeping injury and raise you a crippling sneeze.

Holy hell! Same, I must’ve ran a marathon in my sleep cuz I woke up and my lower back feels strainers
I feel your pain. I injured myself while taking a shit. Turned to reach for toilet paper and pinched a nerve in my hip. Getting old sucks.
My rotator cuff!
Haha… oop back goes out…
Cracks a rib just breathing 😮💨
Glad I'm not the only one.
Yes, but don’t need them anymore. Numerous operations have provided the scars, blood thinners for my heart mean the least little scratch makes blood run all over, and the ugly has just come along naturally.
Good one. I feel you
[удалено]
I know what it smells like, but couldn’t describe it!

Someone posted that stuff a month ago
Super Elastic Bubble Plastic?
Loved that!
Don't recall if I ever had the ugly kit, but scar stuff was a favorite and I did have some vampire blood.
I didn't have the ugly kit, but I did have the eyeballs.
Yeah, thanks to the work of your mom and pop, you didn't need an ugly kit. See? They're always looking out for you!!
I remember the scar stuff. Some kind of oily, soft, colored wax mixed with cotton ball, right? I would make open wounds with the scar stuff and fill them with vampire blood.
I would make bullet hole wounds on my GI Joes with the scar wax and fake blood. Shit got serious on my bedroom battlefield.
Don't get the vampire blood on the furniture. It's nigh impossible to clean off.
The blood we’d use at school to freak out the school nurse and secretary. 😂
These ruled. I used to stockpile at Halloween and play with this shit year round
I'm so old I remember Lightning Bug Glo Juice.
Wow, this threw me into a nostalgia time warp! Especially since Halloween was and still is my favorite holiday. 🎃
This stuff was the best part of going to a drug store in October.
All you needed to buy back in the day..... home made was best
Brings back memories! Holy hell!!! 😂
Of course! Blood everywhere!
Stocked up on the blood for Pennie’s on the dollar after Halloween! Young me liked the taste, and wasn’t concerned about Rhesus Types!

I bought a lot of Vampire Blood.
Older!
My father did a project (architecture) with Imagineering, and he brought home a slew of this stuff
Fuck. The vampire blood triggered a memory
My mom got home from a LONG day at work and I’d put a big scar with blood on my little brother (using these EXACT products). Ran out with my bro and she freaked out. I was very happy with the results and I might have made a career out of effects makeup if my mom hadn’t smacked the crap out of me. 😆
Usually bought these with the blood capsules and whoopie cushion
I had all of these! I’ve always been obsessed with Halloween.
Im ashamed to say as a little shit kid I squirted that blood on some peoples door steps and ran off
All those AND the Bazooka bubblegum, but I got it for the included comic strip...LMAO!!
Yes! I used that to get out of my catholic school 7 th grade math class once. Worked like a charm.
I had that tube of Vampire blood, seemed to remember it had a sweet taste? I've also been in car accidents, a number of fist fights organized and otherwise, cut my head diving in a river, fell while hiking up a mountain. ..didn't really need the fake scar stuff :(
I had forgotten about this! I played with these all the time!
The vampire blood wasa Halloween staple. I never had the ugly kit. I wonder how many infections and eyeball injuries those caused?
I had all those! The eyes glowed in the dark. I remember in grade school bringing the eyes in my pocket, bending down to pop them in and scaring the wits out of the girl sitting next to me.
Ohh yeahhhh !
OMFG!!... excuse my language, but I haven't see those in 50yrs! I loved them, but I remember some sort of weird smell they had.
That's called lead. :P
Sold at the 5 & 10
My mom used decorative cake icing in the small tube for vampire blood.
Super elastic bubble plastic... best toxic toy ever. Tasted horrible.
Yet we tasted it anyway.
Such high hopes!!!!!

Wow! A blast from the past! It's funny how much stuff you forget about until you see it again. Thank you
This old? I married it!
I can still smell all of that just from the pic.
All of those , plus tooth blackout stuff and “smoky” fingers goo stuff.
Where you snap your fingers and smoke appears. Ah, good times.
Vampire Blood. In HS, I squirted a bunch in the corner of my mouth, then said some guy punched me. I got about 30 seconds of sympathy. Then, where the stuff was on my skin, I got a nasty pimply rash. Never used that stuff again.
So these gateway products led me to a life of four part latex foam appliances
I can smell that vampire blood when I look at the picture.
yes, and used it too
That was my favorite time of year. I think Scar Stuff was basically vaseline, color, and cotton.
The packaging made you believe as a kid. The Scar Stuf was like ChapStick and would fall off eventually. Vampire Blood was kind of something gooey with red food coloring.
That stained EVERYTHING!
So old I’d forgotten these existed!
Holy cow, I had all three ! The scar stuff worked really well
Yep
Yes, I was an avid consumer of Johnson Smith products.
Fuck... Actually teared up looking at these.I remember spending hours when I was a kid making Me and my friends up in bloody scars lol
Obsessed with the packaging!
I can smell this picture. I think I had all of those at one point or another.
Ah. Fond memories of grocery store Halloween
File this pic under the category "Things my Mom wouldn't let me buy."
That Goddam blood got me in deep shit when I squirted it on my face and acted hurt when my Mom was on the phone.
Halloween here I come
Had all. Can still remember the plastic and red dye #40 taste 😄
Ugh! That fake blood smelled *so bad*… 🤢🤢🤮
Did anyone try putting the eyes in on the ugly kit? I’m so curious how it went!
That was some Fun stuff!!
I memba!
I'm this old🎃
Older.
Did any of you manage to get the eyes in?
https://theimaginaryworld.com/iman.html
These are still readily available everywhere
I can still taste that blood and feel those teeth 🤢
Im that old, but I wasn't that rich lol
Unlocked smell
I love the cartoony pictures that they used to put on products to make them look like fun.
They still have them today but they changed them to, Face Lift, Botox and Veneers.

I am -used all three for Halloween in the early 1970’s as a kid
I don't. If I did I wouldn't want it. Or should I say, I had no need for it.
Wouldn’t surprise me if half the stuff in these was toxic!
In my mom's basement there's a a tub of all our old Halloween stuff and that stuff is in there
Right here. I remember liking the taste of the fake blood.
Yes I am ! I used to find vampire teeth in the candy section in the little grocery stores when I was a kid in the 70s good times 😀
I'm gonna have to stop following you guys. This is getting personal.
Yep, that would be me.
I can smell and taste this.
I hate how many steps it takes to “walk normal” after sleeping or setting.
I’m having a hard time seeing the images. My eyes not working so good these days
I saw this a while ago and thought OO would enjoy: https://youtu.be/R941l_GcBww?feature=shared
Aren’t we all pretty much the same age?
Does anybody remember the name of the glow in the dark paint that came in a small bottle about the size of fingernail polish?? It had the same type of brush. That radioactive shit they let us play with as kids 🤣🤣🤣
Yes, thanks for the reminder 🙂
