'Evil' audiences enjoy bloodbath

Theatregoers in South Korea are being showered in blood during a gory stage production of The Evil Dead.

About five litres of fake blood are sprayed on the front rows during each performance of the musical, which is based on Sam Raimi's cult 1981 film.

The Chungmu Art Hall offers free coats to those in the "splatter zone", but not everyone is taking up the offer.



"I dressed in white on purpose," said Yoon Dong-suk, 28. "I'm showered in blood now and this blood tastes sweet."

The claret-coloured substance is actually made from corn syrup - a commonly-used technique in low budget films.
