Halloween Bleeding Taper Candles x 3

I was skeptical the red dripping effect would actually work, but after about 20 minutes of burning, the wax started slowly cascading down the sides in a creepy way. The 8-inch height is perfect for my vintage candelabra, and it really set the mood for our gothic dinner party.

Lit one of these during my Halloween party and the red wax dripped just like blood running down the sides. The 8-inch height makes them stand out on the mantel without being too tall.

The "bleeding" effect works even better than the photos show—the red wax drips down the sides in thick, convincing streaks. Lit three on the mantle and the room instantly felt like a haunted Victorian parlor.
