Brains Hang'n out!

I have a quick shot of the aftermath of an axe murder. I need the victem to have their brains protruding fron their skull. Any suggestions? From FX prosthetics to cow brains from the local butcher shop?

Thanks!

A quick shot? No money? Don't bother with a prosthetic; just kinda flatten the actor's hair down with some Karo syrup or hairspray (to make it look bashed in). A little black makeup smeared in there will encourage an impression of depth.

Then dress it with some goopy fake brains. You can make those with a thick corn starch and water mixture, heated on the stove. Add a little red food color (just a drop or so) and then maybe some milk, to whiten it. Go for that pink brainy color. It'll really get thick when it's cooled down. (You could use real cow's brains from the butcher shop, but that's pretty gross.)

After your fake brains are in place, pour some Karo syrup blood around your fake wound (I assume you already have some fake blood mixed up), and you're good to go.

can even mix some flour, egg and boil it like you would make dumplings, just put bigger clumps of dough in the water, when they cool you can even shape them, carve into them etc. Just mix your red food coloring into the batch *just a little to make it pinkish/fleshtone, though brains are actually more gray than pink* pour your karo mix on and you are ready to use em.

I think the butcher shop thing would A) be the cheapest and most effective and B) the easiest. IMO.
