What would any Halloween Haunt or Party be without at least one skeleton hanging from the porch? Previously, to add a realistic skeleton to your Halloween festivities you'd have to buy one from a medical supply company, and it would cost you hundreds of dollars. Because of the high cost, most people have to resort to those made of cheap plastic or even worse, paper ones. But not anymore!

The Anatomical Chart Company is the primary manufacturer of anatomically correct charts, bones and skeletons for use in universities, hospitals, medical schools, the government and more. As they manufacture the bones and assemble the skeletons some become damaged, are marked or discolored to some degree. In the manufacturing industry these are commonly called "seconds". For those who love Halloween, they now offer a positively ghoulish selection of seconds, including skulls, bones and full sized skeletons, and best of all they sell them at cut-rate prices.

If you want to add some realism to your Halloween festivities with a life-like skeleton, then the Anatomical Chart Company is the place to go, and it won't cost you an arm and a leg! For around $120.00 to $160.00 depending on where you find him, the Budget Bucky Skeleton (4th quality) is a fantastic deal. It is life-size skeleton standing a full five foot, six inches tall, and weighs in at seventeen pounds. This adult skeleton features a hanging hook at the top of the skull, jointed arms and legs, and a movable jaw.

Below are just a few ways you can use a Bucky skeleton for Halloween:

Put a hangman's noose around its neck and hang Bucky from a tree or your front porch.

Prop Bucky up in a chair or better yet a rocking chair, to welcome your trick-or-treaters.

Prop it up in a coffin or home-made crypt

Position him either standing in your graveyard or leaning on a tombstone.

We hang ours up in the closet year round!

They also sell a variety of life-size skulls in a wide range of prices to fit just about anyone's Halloween budget, from about $7.00 to $30.00 depending on the quality. The Budget Life-Size Skull is an adult size skull featuring a movable jaw and removable calvarium, and retails for only around $12.95, making it an ideal addition to your Halloween prop collection.
 

You can even buy bulk bones by the pound! Their "Bone #1" package contains approximately 10 pounds of assorted 4th quality bones including a life-size skull, humerus, hand, hip bone, sacrum, foot, lower jaw, clavicle, ribs, vertebrae, arm and leg bones in various sizes from life-size to mini. Remember, these are seconds and most will need a some touching up.
