Let's just say you won't be disappointed by the results. I thought it was pretty common in the backwoods. We used to do it all the time. Expired jam or tomato sauce is a good substitute too. Redneck special effects. Hollar-wood magic, if you will.
I have not, though I expect it would be wildly entertaining. I’m not in the back woods though, so maybe that’s why I haven’t seen it in person before.
