I am developing a serious love for things that are a little morbid, which explains the appeal of the skull light; I really want one. And when I say one, I mean I want many of them.

This baby hangs from your ceiling, so if you play your cards right, I'm sure you could create a set up that looks like the skull light is just hovering. And the truly best part is that this [creepy night light](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/night-light-projectors) must be used with an energy-saving light bulb.
