Kristina Simon (kristinasimon) | 11182 comments Sorry, these won't work:
black cats should be domesticated cats not large cats (i.e., tigers, panthers, etc.)

mstan | 868 comments Can I use Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury ? It's not very clear, but the horse's flesh is melting off its skull, so the skull is partially exposed.

Wow, that's really small on GRs ;o). But I found a great picture of it on Amazon. It definitely works. Just mention when you post that the book was approved in the task help thread so Sandy doesn't have to hunt it down.

Yes, I'd consider bubble gum a candy.

That guy/zombie/whatever he is in the front looks like a skull to me. It'll work.


message 15: by Karen Michele (new)

Karen Michele Burns (klibrary) | 2014 comments How about this one:

Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk

It's spooky looking, but I'm not sure if it qualifies as a skeleton or scull. Thanks!

No, sorry, that one just looks like a face so it won't fit.

Terri FL (territhemuse) | 615 comments Ok, would this work for a skull? I know it's not exact, but I believe it is meant to double as a skull.

Popcorn won't work, but the kid in the 3rd row appears to be eating a candy bar and that fits! Just point the candy bar out when you post. It's easy to miss.

Fran | 730 comments Thanks Kristi! I didn't even see the candy bar- yay!
