NECROMANCER'S CIRCLE OF BONES

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's a really sinister looking Halloween decoration that was
inspired by the "Necromancing the Stone" episode from the tv
show "Charmed". In this episode, an evil Necromancer is
resurrected by his assistant within a pentagram shaped magic
circle made up from old human skulls and bones.

This sinister display is a really great Halloween decoration,
particularly if you place a costumed person or prop figure
standing ominously in the center of the circle and its a very
impressive visage. You can dress-up in a variety of costumes
such as a grim reaper, demon, sorceress, wizard, or even a
ghostly apparition and you'll put a real scare into your
Halloween visitors. If you have the floor space, you can put
your Halloween tree inside of it.

The items needed to create this chilling Halloween display are
five "Budget Life-Size 2-Piece Skulls (1st Quality)" and ten
"Femur's", both of which can be bought online at The
Skeleton Store. These are what you need to make a circle
large enough for a person or a full size Halloween prop figure
to stand in and measures about five feet across.

If you want and even larger Circle of Bones, use three femur's
instead of two in between each skull. This will make a circle
that measures more than seven across.

We positioned the skulls to face inside the circle, except for
the one in front, so that our visitors could see the skulls
clearly. If you want the skulls to look like they did in the
episode of "Charmed", you will need to remove the lower jaw
of each skull by removing the small screws and springs that
hold the lower jaw to the skull.

Its important to remember that these skulls and bones are
white in color because they are made for the medical industry
and are not meant to look old and creepy. To give them that
"fresh from the grave" look, they should be "distressed" using
our instructions in our "Distressing a Skeleton" article.

Positioning the skulls and femurs into the shape of a
pentagram is pretty simple, just place a skull on the floor or
ground, then place either two or three femurs, depending on
the size circle you are making, on either side of it in a straight
line, and so on until a pentagon shaped circle.
    Few holidays can bring neighbors together like Halloween. Halloween is the perfect chance to meet new neighbors or reconnect
    with old friends around the neighborhood that you haven’t seen in awhile.  Whether it’s for neighborhood decorating contests,
    apple bobbing, or just trick or treating Halloween activities can bring together the entire neighborhood and create a spirit of
    good will and camaraderie that will last throughout the year.

    One of the reasons why Halloween is so good at bringing neighbors together is because Halloween has traditionally been a
    neighborhood event.  After WWII when developers began to build subdivisions and developments of planned housing
    communities it became a rite of passage to go trick or treating in your neighborhood each Halloween. As recently as 2005 89% of
    homeowners who owned a home within a defined neighborhood planned to have candy ready for trick or treaters from the
    neighborhood and 93% of children who lived in a defined neighborhood planned on going to their neighbors homes to ask for
    treats. Many people have fond memories of running through their neighborhoods in the dark on Halloween playing pranks and
    begging for treats.  Many neighborhoods hold organized Halloween events like hayrides, Halloween parties, and trick or treating
    parties where parents take turns accompanying kids around the neighborhood.

    Because Halloween is a fun holiday that centers around activities it’s more social than holidays like Christmas and Thanksgiving
    which are usually associated with formal meals and family visits. Halloween is a casual but fun holiday where strangers are
    welcomed into neighborhood homes and everyone is treated as a friend and given treats. Even nontraditional neighborhoods
    like apartment buildings or condo developments often hold Halloween parties and have set hours where kids in the buildings
    can knock on neighbors doors and show off their costumes.  In some neighborhoods there is a lot of friendly competition to see
    who can come up with the scariest or most original yard and house decorations. Some neighborhood associations even hold
    formal contests with prizes to encourage neighbors to decorate their homes and open their homes to others to show off their
    decorations each year.

    The roots of Halloween as a social holiday go back to the origins of the holiday as a New Year celebration. The ancient Celts
    celebrated Halloween as Samhain, the end of the harvest and the beginning of a new year. They believed that spirits of the dead
    would wander the earth on Samhain night because the veil that exists between life and death was thin at that time and the dead
    could return to be among the living, and possibly could bring some of the living into the realm of the dead with them. In order to
    fool the dead people wore masks to make themselves look dead and gathered in large open areas with bonfires to celebrate the
    new year and to make sure they didn’t get carried off to the realm of the dead. Halloween is at its very core a holiday to celebrate
    life and abundance with friends and neighbors.
