Aagghhh that skull stuck in my mind for years, it was nightmarish. And I agree that a lot of its bleakness comes from implication which totally flew over my head as a kid, but I recently re-watched the movie and picked up on a lot more things this time around.

The skull doesn't even do anything, it just howls, but I think it was honestly the scariest moment in the movie for me, especially since it directly results in Haggard doing his damnedest to murder Schmendrick and them all being trapped with the bull. Jesus, that thing terrified me.

I missed so much the first few times around, I was really young, but I think that only made the movie better as I got older. It gained so much poignancy when I went back and I actually understood things like what had happened to Molly, and why Mommy Fortuna did what she did, and how weirdly tragic Haggard was. It's a movie that's really better as an adult, although it's magical (and terrifying) as a child.
