Can anyone tell me the specific type of silk the filmmakers used to create the seeping through blood effect? I'm trying to recreate that look for a film I'm working on and can't find any information about the specific silk.

Thanks,
Neil

It's a shame that FF Trixie Pro was released a year after this was produced. The typewriter emulation would have been even more authentic.
