There is more than one way to skin a cat... and there are more than a few ways to make fake skin. First off, here are a few home solutions to save you a few bucks:
  • Scabs - Create crispy scabs to top off the gross-out look.
  • Prop Guts - This fake flesh can go a long way to decorate a gross-out room.
  • Fake Flesh - Flesh chunks for decoration or gross effects.
If you are looking for a good brand of wound pieces, I highly suggest the selection at Spirit Halloween online. There are a lot of small, inexpensive pieces, and an assortments of professional high-end effects.
