I'm not sure what urban legend or superstition this illustrates.

I don't know what kind of superstition this is, but it's cool. So you'll have to take a 7, like it or not - Inspzil

I like this but am wondering a more neutral background would have helped to make the subject stand out more

I'll tell you what amazesme about this photo - light in the "eye" hole and light coming "out the top" but NO light showing up anywhere else in any other openings in the skull. Don't know it that was intentional or not, but it blows my mind to the point of a 7. Guess you can see how small my mind is.

Good spooky Halloween photo. The flame is a little too blown out, it would be nice if it had more yellowy-orange rather than just bright white.

Brightness of the fire is distracting to the eye. Hard to focus attention on the skull. Compostion is good.
