- For the film, see The Skull (1965).
Skulls are the bone matter that comprises the head of a living, or in many cases, once-living organism. The top of the skull is called the cranium. The lower jaw and cheek bone region is referred to as the mandible. The purpose of a skull is to provide a housing for the brain as well as support for the face which includes eyes, ears, mouth, nose and chin.
Skulls feature prominently in several different television genres, in particular the horror and crime drama subgenres.
Examples[]
- A skull is seen on the rotating Pillar of Souls as well as several other body parts in Hellraiser.
- Someone gave Barnabas Collins and Josette du Pres a skull with a black wig as a wedding gift on an episode of Dark Shadows. Seriously. (DS 374)
