DH is out.

The dog keeps growling at it and I keep hearing noises..

Ten minutes ago it fell over for no reason.

I want to put it in the garage but it has a window that leads into next doors garden and I wouldn't like to terrify their children....

Also, if I go over there I feel like it might get me.

Disclaimer: I've had a drink.

I used to have a skeleton called Stan, I used him for studying (healthcare course).

I eventually sold him on eBay to a really strange couple.. they drove off with him in the boot and never mentioned why they wanted him.

Yours looks like a Steve.

Although hurry now, if it gets fully dark before you've 'funnied him up' he's bound to come alive.

Given my childish reaction to sharing the room with a plastic skeleton I'm not sure I could handle a real one Grin

A mug of tea is required in Youtube's left hand.

PacificDogwod · 05/07/2017 22:21

Lovely!
Red and boney-white goes together so well.

TopangaD · 05/07/2017 22:24

Awk.. come on she is saying it's haunted of course I might assume it's real.. if not all the banter should enfold.. def needs a breard and glasses!

Megbert · 05/07/2017 22:24

Can anyone see in that window?

RebelRogue · 05/07/2017 22:24

Add some playing cards. A royal flush. Sure I've seen a similar scene in a movie 😬

My body is donated to medical science. When my brain has been removed, whatever organs are salvageable (wouldn't count on my liver) have been donated and the medical students have finished with me I hereby give consent for anyone to use me as a prop for a party!

PhyllisNights · 05/07/2017 22:25

Chuck it in the bonfire this weekend.

NiceCuppaTeaAndASitDown · 05/07/2017 22:25

Please call him Oscar O'Perosis

Supersoaryflappypigeon · 05/07/2017 22:26

A haunted plastic skeleton Grin love it op!!
I'll have what you're having 😂

RiversrunWoodville · 05/07/2017 22:26

Youtube now needs a whiskey to go with Rebels playing cards

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 05/07/2017 22:26

I have a real skeletal leg + half pelvis (bought in the late 80s, cost me £40) not a Hallowe'en prop (originally) but for my course .

He's called Ralph and makes guest appearances at our Hallowe'en parties (only indoors, he's too valuable to go out)

boolifooli · 05/07/2017 22:27

Why couldn't 'YouTube' go to the party?

Because he had no 'body' to go with!!

MorbidBibliomancy · 05/07/2017 22:29

He could be like a longterm, slightly morbid Elf On the Shelf! Come downstairs in the morning and he's got a bowl of Cheerios. Next day he's playing with lego, etc

MaryPoppinsPenguins · 05/07/2017 22:29

I think I've made him scarier...

He can be seen from the window, and I live opposite a school Grin

You need to light him from behind and below for more of a spooky effect.

I agree re mug of tea and playing cards btw.

My husband used to have a real skeleton called Yannis (before my time). Apparently yannis still haunts his ex's garage.... Yannis was left behind because he didn't fit in a suitcase and the police get funny if you put human remains in the bin....

OrlandaFuriosa · 05/07/2017 22:33

But to protect yourself.. garlic, a sprig of rosemary, a sprig of rowan , a witch ball and running water all keep eviltude away...

WhatsGoingOnEh · 05/07/2017 22:33

I wouldn't have dressed him up. He'll be angry at you now... You'll wake up and he'll be standing right over you.

RebelRogue · 05/07/2017 22:34

Oooh OP you'll need a "boney" trap in case of midnight haunting. Grin

mummyofmoomoos · 05/07/2017 22:41

Well he's very life-like... hello You Tube! Love the hat!

Catsize · 05/07/2017 22:42

He needs some biscuits.
