Welcome to my Skeletons and Skulls coloring pages section.

Skeletons and skulls have been spooky symbols for as long as people have told ghost stories. They hint at the mystery of what lies beyond, which is why they turn up everywhere at Halloween, from costumes to decorations to haunted houses. Some dance and grin, others glow in the dark. Either way they bring a little fun and a little fright.

Half living, half dead, Hel rules the misty realm that bears her name, a cold and quiet land deep beneath the roots of the world tree. In Norse myth, this daughter of Loki greets those who die of sickness and old age, welcoming them into her great hall. One side of her face is fair, while the other is pale and bony like a skeleton, and she has long been a haunting figure of the underworld...
