The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim is one of the most successful video games of all time and has developed a dedicated fanbase among both hardcore and casual gamers drawn in by the game’s open world fantasy setting. Since its debut in 2011, Skyrim has been released for nearly every piece of hardware capable of running the game, including three generations of Sony and Microsoft consoles, with Nintendo fans even getting a surprise release of The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim Annversary Edition for Switch earlier this year. When a game has that sort of broad reach and availability it’s no wonder some fans are eager to create their own creative tributes to the title.

In a post on r/Skyrim, user secondbreakfastspoon shared a photo of the Skyrim-themed Halloween display they created. The display looks like it would be any Skyrim alchemist’s dream setup, showing a shelf full of dusty bottles filled with strange substances and labeled with the names of in-game ingredients like Moon Sugar and Frost Salts. In the center of this magical collection players can spot a detailed recreation of the mask of Krosis, one of The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim’s dragon priests.
Fans of the series reacted positively to the Halloween display in the comments, with many stating that they’d love to create a similar display of their own. Many commenters were especially impressed by the mask of Krosis, noting that it seems appropriate that a dragon priest’s mask would be found among the alchemic ingredients. For those fans who feel the urge to buy Skyrim yet again for another playthrough after seeing the display, there is now a new place to download the title following the recent release of The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim Anniversary Edition on Epic Games Store.
Halloween and video games can go great together, and this Skyrim display shows how creative fans can use their favorite games as inspiration for some truly unique holiday displays. Halloween doesn’t just mean holiday fan creations though, it’s also when developers tend to release their spookiest games of the year. For those gamers still trying to decide which game to frighten themselves with this year, a new study about the most popular horror games for Halloween could be a great jumping off point for seeking some serious scares.
The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim Anniversary Edition is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
