Who are your favorite skeletons? (<>..<>)

Movies, television, and literature have introduced us to some great skeletons over the years. Almost everyone loves skeletons, to hate skeltons would in fact be to hate a part of yourself. Since everyone I know has a skeleton inside them to support them for walking and protect their internal organs. Here are the skeletons I choose as my favorite ones:

*No bones about it, the Crypt keeper is the coolest skeleton around. He was derived from the1950’s series of horror comic books Tales from the Crypt, which later spawned into a television show, a cartoon, several movies, and even a pin ball game. Each time you saw the Crypt keeper he always had a neat outfit to fit the story for that night. Along with his cute "horror" jargon he always kept the Boils and Ghouls entertained. This pile of bones has a special place in my heart.

*The leader of the skeleton warriors in Army of Darkness also ranks among the top skeletons. His face is quite frightening and he's probably the most violent of all of these skeletons. He has a lot of confidence too 1) for his battle skills and 2) for foolishly thinking he could seduce a woman with the line "gimme some sugar baby", even there is much doubt as to whether a skeleton could do such a thing LOL.

*Most of the time skeletons are usually meant to be frightening, well not in this case. In this case they were meant to be educational. The skeletons from School House Rock made sure school children were well aware of which bones connected to which bones through cartoon and song. "The shin bone connected to the knee bone, (that means tibia connects to the patella), Knee bone connected to the thigh bone (that means patella connects to the femur.)"

*Jack Skellington from the Nightmare Before Christmas might have very well been the first and perhaps last skeleton to appear in a full length claymation motion picture. He is just about the only thing I remember from watching this movie, so he's at least important for that.

*Skeletor was a villain in the He-Man series cartoon, if I can remember right he became allies with the evil Hordak and later also appeared in the Masters of the Universe movie. Even though I personally was more into She-Ra then Masters of the Universe, even I owned a Skeletor action figure because he was an awesome skeleton to own in the eighties.

*The younger generation will probably be the only ones familiar with this bag of bones. Curly was the mascot for the popular children’s book series Goosebumps. He appeared when ever they were trying to sell the books, I also have a slammer of him used in tournaments of pogs. Most would say he's not the best skeleton, and he really isn't. I just was running out of skeletons to put on this page.

To complete this tribute to the greatest calcium boasters of them all I have visuals of all of the ones I listed here: http://deathbyunicorn.tripod.com/Manic_Junk.htm

Feel free to add more, I'm sure I forgot some.
