Paper Plate Skeleton
I am not normally a fan of “cute,” but I gotta admit, this skeleton door decorator made from cleverly-cut paper plates and bits of yarn works for me, somehow. By Instructables user kazmataz. [Thanks, Kelly!]
Centaur Skeleton
Reportedly a custom job by osteological specimen-house Skulls Unlimited, though I can find no mention of it on their site.
A skeleton is electrocuted on Mark Csele’s porch
Our 2008 display, pictured here, featured a skeleton in an electric chair. When a kid approaches the porch the system triggers and the skeleton rises out of the chair accompanied by fog, a strobe light, and loud sounds of an electrical arc. The front window featured a rear-projection video of a large tesla coil operating with large arcs streaming everywhere to complete the ‘mad scientist’ appearance….The electric chair has a light rope for the “wires” connecting the skeleton to the chair. Upon triggering fog is released by a fog machine behind the chair, illuminated by eerie green light and a strobe light.
