Great Skulls in Entertainment

I love Halloween, and every time the tail end of October comes around, it means several things: The Great Pumpkin will air, stores are already putting up their Christmas decorations, and you’re going to see more skulls.

As a species, humans are obsessed with skulls. And why not? They’re very cool and scary. We are both fascinated and repelled by our mortality, and you never see a skull unless someone has died. To gaze upon a skull is to see death, which is why Death is often characterized by a skull.
