Skull String Lights for Halloween, 10 to 40 Brown Skulls, Battery or USB

A string of small brown skulls, each one lit by a warm LED inside it, so the whole face glows while the eye sockets and teeth stay dark. Hang it along a mantel, a doorframe or a bookshelf, and the room looks ready for Halloween before anyone has carved a pumpkin.

Molded brows and cheekbones. Sockets and teeth that stay dark. A warm glow that looks at home in a grown-up room.

Realistic molded faces, with the detail of a real skull

Each head is cast with a heavy brow, deep sockets, a hollow nose and a full row of teeth. Most carry a dark crack running down the forehead. A brown stain settles into every hollow, so the features read even from across the room.

That detail is what gives the string its grown-up look. It sits as comfortably on a bookshelf, a bar cart or along the front window as it does over the party table. It holds its own beside candles, books and whatever else you put out for the season.

The light comes from inside, so the face is what you see

The LED sits inside the shell at the crown, so the raised surfaces glow amber while the stained recesses stay dark. The brow, the cheekbones and the teeth come up in relief instead of disappearing into one bright blob.

Switched off, the heads are a glossy brown with a honey tone on the crown and darker shading in every hollow. They still look like decoration in daylight, which matters on something that stays up for most of October.

Battery or USB, and which length to pick

The battery version runs from a small box on the end of the wire, with an on and off switch on its face. It goes wherever looks right, not wherever the outlet happens to be. The USB version suits a spot near a laptop, a charger or a power bank, and it comes in the 3 m and 6 m lengths.

The 1.5 m string of 10 is right for a mantel, a single shelf or the middle of a table. The 3 m and 4.5 m strings take a doorway or a run of banister, while the 6 m with 40 will go around a window or along a whole bookcase. On the 3 m and 6 m strings you can switch between a steady glow and a single flash.

Each head is small, about the size of a walnut in its shell, so even the longest string reads as a line of faces along the wire rather than a handful of big props competing for the room.
