Is it new this year? Don’t remember seeing it last year… mostly just those 12’ tall ones perched around. Now there are also regular size skeletons, performing various acts in yards all over town for public display.

Do you have to move them every night?

If not, then they are not close to the hell on earth of Elf on the Shelf.

This is all over my neighborhood….there must be 100 skeletons doing everything from checking the mail to nailing on shingles.

Evil is creeping nearer and nearer to the light
Forged in darkness but gaining might
Forced to hide less the angels see
But their power grows subtly

Burst from the shadows
We act surprised
But it’s our own callous minds
That released Hell’s prize

We’ll laugh and joke
We’ll distract and deny
We’ll wait too long
Til we inevitably die

Crushed by the weight
Of our own greed and pride
Blaming the mud and the stones
As we take the last ride

Check out St Charles and State street in New Orleans when you get a chance.

I’m just wondering where people are storing these 18-20 footers that have become popular.

You seem rustled by this. Were they having relations with sheep skeletons?

I've seen 10+ cars with skeletons on them. A couple had skeletons on their antennas. Saw a full sized skeleton today on the front of a jeep made to look like it was hit by the car.







I'm buying my own tomorrow.
