What Pillbug said... If you want to, you can also create a new sprite to play the sequence in the old one's place (this method is a little bit more amateurish, but it's also less likely to bug out hideously ).

//get the old sprite's coordinates
int &mox = sp_x(&current_sprite,-1);
int &moy = sp_y(&current_sprite,-1);

//create blood sprite - giving it brain 7 so it dies on its own after playing the seq
int &BLAHD = create_sprite(&mox,&moy,7,[number of the blood seq],1);

//sequence GO!
sp_seq(&BLAHD,[number of the blood seq]);

PS. //this is fluff, so that the blood isn't punchable:
sp_nohit(&BLAHD,1);
