When we were involved with a charity Halloween Haunted Trail, I made
several skulls out of porcelain and bisqued them for the cannibal skit
that my teenage and his friends did. We stuck them on poles around their
'boiling cauldron'. They took the 'skulls on a stick' soaked them in
lighter fluid and lit them. They all ended up broken eventually but they
sure looked cool!
We always talk about 'the trail' this time of year even though it's been
at least 5 years since we quit doing it. It brought out amazing creative
juices in the adults, teenagers and kids working on it together.

I suppose someone, somewhere, somehow will be offended by this. Oh
well.
