I am going to hate myself for this, there is a vein
running behind the tendon known as the Hough Tendon or Achilles Tendon, and this vein if pierced by a clumsy knife wielding
person would bleed copiously, they being hung upside down would also be giddy,
the blood in their eyes could be from a combination of giddiness and blood
and also strain, hanging upside down can cause petechiae which may give the
appearance of blood stains, but for me this blood in their eyes stems from a
pierced vein and hanging upsy-down - Nasty!!!

I also question the blood dripping down in front of their
eyes. Any blood
would have been long since absorbed by their clothing
before it got to their
faces, plus the area where I imagine the men were
stabbed isn't well
supplied with blood vessels. I wondered if the
blood reference was due to
their having been hung upside down for a period
of time and now were right
side up and the blood was truly running down
inside their bodies from their
heads making them dizzy
perhaps.
