Looking like the skull that famously adorns The Punisher's T-shirt, the D-Sturbed Paper Skull is a [DIY kit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/masquerade-mask-1) that allows buyers to assemble this ominous-looking cranium. With its sharp angles and flat surfaces, the D-Sturbed Paper Skull is a polygonal skull that looks like something out of a video game. It makes the metallic skulls from Terminator look ancient. They should totally use this thing in a modernized version of the play Hamlet, even though he's supposed to be holding a real human skull. **Implications** - Consumers are fascinated with products with skull imagery because they're evocative of death, a topic that intrigues consumers in an uncomfortable manner.
