SKELETONS

Even though many medical practitioners did not puzzle over the skeleton to the same degree that they did with other parts of the body, they all recognized their cultural as well as scientific importance.  By the end of the sixteenth century, skeletons had become the quintessential image of anatomy.  But they also continued to be an image of death, in the form of a grim reaper brought to life by the skill of the anatomist.  Due to the ability to make clanking noises with the bones and their scary appearance, they have become one of the most recognizable Monsters of Halloween.
