Find a food-safe plastic skull that can be easily washed.

Wash the skull thoroughly before use.

Put on food safety gloves for handling the smoked salmon.

Spread cream cheese throughout the inside of the skull to hold the smoked salmon in place.

Layer the smoked salmon on top of the cream cheese, pressing it into the skull to shape it around the jawline.

Use large black olives for the eyes, or radishes to resemble eyeballs, adding a little cream cheese or goat cheese to help them stick.

Add an iris to the eyeballs for a spooky effect.

Place the skull in the center of your serving area and build around it with the remaining smoked salmon.
