Halloween Knives

Not my knife nor my skeletons, but I've walked by this display on my way to and from campus every weekday for over two weeks.

As you can imagine, if you have no skin, muscles, or ligaments, keeping your bones where you want them can be quite a challenge!
Here's a photo I took 2 weeks ago when the knife-wielding skeleton had experienced a major elbow fail:

In this second (but older) photo, the 2 pumpkin-pilfering skeletons appear to be running toward this cemetery at the other end of the front yard:

But in the top pic taken yesterday, they seemed to have changed plans and are headed toward the street. But I'm not exactly sure how the skeletons are set up, and they may be free to pivot on the vertical steel rods to which they're somehow attached. Maybe they're like weather vanes and just spin around the rods according to whatever way the wind blows.

A bit late to the party but here goes.
This seemed like a really great idea to make a few years ago for Halloween, it was only after I'd made it I realised just how sinister it looks....... maybe not such a great idea!
Forged & ground from a single piece of spring steel.
