Silent Nightmares: Noel

Silent Nightmares Noel Skeleton Santa

Noel wears Santa’s familiar red suit and flowing white beard, but beneath it sits a grinning skull. A sculpted candle rises in one hand while a sack of strange presents rests over his shoulder, giving the little figure the look of a Christmas visitor from somewhere much darker.

Standing 10.5 cm tall, the hand-painted resin ornament keeps the traditional red, white and black Christmas palette while twisting the character underneath it. Textured white trim follows the hat, cuffs and coat, dark gloves frame the hands, and a tiny skull peeks from the sack behind him. The candle flame adds a small touch of warm orange beside the otherwise pale face.

Santa, but Not Quite as You Remember Him

The fun of Noel comes from how familiar he looks at first. The red coat, white beard, hat and sack are all instantly recognisable, but the skull beneath the beard changes the whole character on a second glance.

The sack adds another little surprise, with a skull peering out from amongst the presents, while the candle gives the scene a slightly old-fashioned, storybook feel. Together, those details make Noel feel less like a generic skeleton and more like a complete Silent Nightmares character.

A Small Piece of Dark Christmas Humour

At 10.5 cm tall, Noel is small enough to tuck between larger festive figures, but the bright suit and white beard help him hold his own in a display. The traditional Christmas colours keep him seasonal, while the bones and strange sack contents make sure he still belongs firmly on the darker side of the range.

Noel belongs naturally amongst our Christmas Ornaments, while his skeletal face connects directly with our Reapers and Skeleton Ornaments. The smaller skull detail in his sack also links neatly with our Skull Ornaments, while Halloween continues the playful macabre crossover.
