Author's note

Skellingtonbats by Tim Burton is a free horror dingbats font built around grinning skull-faced figures and off-kilter cartoon macabre. The visible set leans playful rather than gory, with rounded eyes, stitched smiles, and lopsided silhouettes that feel hand-drawn, spooky, and a little mischievous.

It suits Halloween party flyers, themed merch, scrapbook pages, poster accents, and eerie invitation art where a free font with character works better than plain symbols. Use it for scene-setting spots like title cards, decorative borders, badges, or small graphic callouts, since the icons read more like tiny Burton-esque characters than neutral ornaments.
