I just think there's something really cool looking about them! Though commonplace at Halloween and in horror films, rarely are they used in a truly scary way. They have been used for the more kid-friendly side of Halloween since Disney's 1929 short The Skeleton Dance, leading to modern-day skeletons like Jack Skellington and Papyrus. Low-budget films like the Screaming Skull or The House on Haunting Hill used cheap skeleton props ensuring that the only screams heard were the uproarious sounds of laughter. This was even parodied in the B-movie throwback The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra which is an amazing film if you haven't seen it yet. If not being used in a comedic way (intentionally or not), then they're utilized in "cool" ways, such as with Ghost Rider, an emblem of death that spreads over the Punisher's battle gear, or on the back of Paul Phoenix's biker jacket. So, are there any actually scary skeletons you may ask? Though not a horror film, they're use in 1963's Jason and the Argonauts gave a brief moment of danger for Jason and his crew, whilst the janky stop-motion of Ray Harryhausen gave the skeleton crew a movement that blurred the line between realism and fantasy. A skeleton visage graced the figure of the Terminator, and the endoskeletons of the Freddy Fazbear animatronics made being stuffed into a Freddy Fazbear an unappetizing fate. Even the skeleton zombies in the horror-comedy Return of the Living Dead managed to be scary with terrific make-up and artistic design. Poltergeist also used skeletons to great effect, aided greatly by the fact that they filmed on a real burial ground and used real skeletons for the swimming pool scene. I like the fact that skeletons have such a wide range of uses, no matter what tone you're aiming for. And hey, we all have one, so skeletons are automatically pretty awesome in my book. Otherwise, we'd just be shapeless blobs of course. --- If the suspense doesn't kill you, something else will! http://tinyurl.com/zqwzc9a - https://i.imgtc.com/3qwvxhc.jpg <cite>Snake5555555555 posted [p:911814838] in Snake Rank...
