Promising review: "Love this skull!! After reading other reviews I tried several different colored C-7 bulbs. Every one was awesome! You can just change it out whatever your mood. I set it in the living room on a side table. Will leave out all year round. Right now I've left it white and placed a Santa hat on it.

Promising review: "This is a very unique item that would be difficult to find in some specialty store. And if you did, I imagine you'd probably pay three times as much as it is here. It is my guest bathroom mirror with a black medieval vanity sink - a very dungeon-like setting. Now all I need is the full suit of armor next to the toilet, I wonder if they sell those on Amazon...haha. The mirror is actually smaller than expected, but so rare and authentic looking with incredible detail it doesn't matter. A couple of battery operated candles inserted in the dragon slots completes this. This is probably my favorite purchase on Amazon in a long time." -Nondescript

Promising review: "These hands are so spooky. Made of a hard plastic and very well crafted. Perfect for a spooky scene. Can be mounted with a screw or sticky tape, both of which are provided. My only complaint is that the part that attaches to the wall could be a little flatter. It's a little tricky to get the sticky tape in the right spot because it is concave on the wrists. Other than that, they are really cool." -Randy
