The [candle holder](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/core-candle-holder) is designed to look like an eerie and antiquated skull head. The bony face has elegantly carved out cheekbones and missing teeth. Inside the white skull is a red candle that, when lit, begins to melt and drip out of the skull face's eyes and nose giving the appearance that the skull is bleeding. It might be a good idea to put something underneath the ghostly skull face, to catch all the gooey blood drippings. And, if you're in for a scare, try turning all the lights off and letting this [skull candle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pantlers-rations) burn.
