They could have sedated them then while they were out used a common blood donor apparatus to remove 6 pints of blood. Wake em up and take em to the execution they are used to. The lack of blood pressure, sedation and weakness caused by it could explain every detail. Their bodies did not look skinny or emaciated but they did look very pale.
Those calling hoax are only fooling themselves.
THAT is quite the reach there....Exactly what do these "terrorists" gain by withdrawing their blood? Not to clean up the execution, they have no problem showing the "bloody" aftermath along with a "severed" head, I doubt a little squirting blood would drive them to those lengths. Care to try again? I think perhaps you are fooling yourself, into believing exactly what you are told to believe.

The Mirror can reveal that up to six Britons who travelled to the Middle East to fight alongside the jihadists are also being detained by IS.
It is understood the Britons are being held against their will after they tried to to flee the Syrian front line.
Sources say the recruits were so horrified by the brutal killings, beheadings and torture of civilians and captured enemies they decided to leave.
But the IS thugs captured them and imprisoned them at the group’s Syrian stronghold in the town of Raqqa.
A Western intelligence source told the Mirror: “Some Europeans, including a few Brits, decided they had seen enough horrors and wanted to leave.
“But their leaders won’t allow them to go and have called them traitors. ”
The captured jihadis are among 500 Britons who have taken up arms with the Islamic State as it runs amok across the Middle East.

But my point is, terrorists use this technique as a tool. -A mental assault on a first-world country who are too goody goody(in their opinion) to have ever seen such gore, and they know this.

So they are quickly trying to tie up loose ends about peoples doubts? My next question is where is all the blood as the knife penetrates? We see the "executioner" saw back and forth several times on the throat, yet there is no blood spurting out. Answer that one journalist.
ETA: I also find it funny that with all the beheadings, and murders in the ME over the years, why NOW is there even a journalist that feels the need to explain WHY HE thinks it is real? Ill tell you why, because more and more people are waking up and getting wise to the propaganda machine that is the US government. I mildly feel vindicated that this is happening.

Do you think it's less gory on purpose to help recruit younger extremists who may be put off by the actual act?

I finished banging out a whole paragraph in response to you but decided eff it. Just tell me. What's the point in faking this? Did Obama call up the Isil leader and tell him to fake another one? Can you pragmatically tell me where the logic is in this? What's the point in 'faking' these beheadings? If you're going to tell me it's to gain support to go back to Iraq, then I want you to explain why.

Why would they goad them? Because it's all a plot to get the US into Syria bombing their airforce and Assad. The first attempt failed so the media painted this plague, locust army that killed Americans and Brits to horrify and make the citizens passive about the oncoming attack on Syria. It's not about ISIS it is and always has been about Syria.
