The Halloween skeleton angel is a hanging skeleton in bone white with large, tattered bat wings and a hanging cord on top of the skull. It is intended to decorate a space: above a door, in a hallway, or above the table where your guests pass by during Halloween. Anyone looking for a horror angel will find exactly that contrast here: an angel figure, but without skin and with wings of bone and membrane.
What does the skeleton angel with bat wings look like?
The skeleton angel is a complete skeleton with a skull, ribcage, spine, pelvis, arms, and legs, and two wings pointing upwards from the shoulders.
- The wings are made up of long bones with a membrane full of holes and tears between them, like those of a bat.
- A brown, weathered tint covers the wings, giving the whole thing an old and decayed appearance.
- The skeleton itself is white to off-white, with dark eye sockets and an open jaw with teeth.
- At the top of the skull is a black cord to hang the figure from.
- The arms hang along the body and the legs are spread apart, making it appear to float in the air.
A fallen angel as a scary figure
An angel with bat wings instead of feathers is the image of the fallen angel in horror stories: a heavenly being that has chosen the side of darkness. Bat wings belong to demons and vampires in that imagery, while feathers stand for good. The skeleton angel combines that with a bare skeleton, so the figure reminds of death and the underworld at the same time. Because of this, it fits into a dark decor where a regular skeleton without wings would look too tame.
The skeleton angel above the door or in the stairwell
Hang the skeleton angel at eye level by the front door, then your guests will walk straight into it upon entering. In a stairwell or under a lamp, the spread wings come into their rights best, because there is space around them. If you are wearing a devil or vampire costume yourself, the figure with its bat wings will complement the atmosphere perfectly. With dim light nearby, the holes in the membrane and the brown weathered edges stand out even more.
Order the skeleton angel and let it float above your guests during Halloween.
