A Kraken shower curtain may just cause controversy as many people say that this sea creature is a squid while others believe that it is an octopus.
The kraken has been documented as one of the largest sea creatures in the world that with it’s large tentacles can easily pull a ship down under the water.
Squid or octopus, you choose. Here are some cool kraken shower curtains for you!
The legendary sea monster was horrifying according to stories it was a huge, many armed, creature could reach as high as the top of a sailing ship’s main mast. A Kraken would attack a ship, wrap their arms around the hull and capsize it. The crew would drown or be eaten. What is amazing about the Kraken stories is that there is evidence that these creatures exist.
The early evidence about Kraken, from Norway in the twelfth century, refer to a creature the size of an island. In 1752, when the Bishop of Bergen et al wrote his The Natural History of Norway he described the Kraken as a “floating island” one and a half miles across. The Bishop of Bergan noted “It seems these are the creature’s arms, and, it is said, if they were to lay hold of the largest man-of-war, they would pull it down to the bottom.” As time past Kraken stories bring the creature down to a smaller, but still monstrous, size.

A sugar skull (or calavera) is a decorative and edible skull made from sugar to clay which are used during the Mexican celebration of the Day of the Dead.
The most popular calaveras are created with cane sugar and are decorated with icing, beads and feathers.
Although a calavera is made of sugar, it is not meant to be eaten as it is a gift to the dead, as such, many sugar skulls are not long made of sugar but are made out of wood, nuts, chocolate, etc.
The paintings of skulls and skeletons is a representation of rebirth in the next life.
The more elegant the decorations on the sugar skull typically means the greater wealth of the deceased.
The tradition o f building private altars to honor the dead using sugar skulls, marigolds and the favorite food and drink of the dead. Visiting the grave with gifts and other items.
On October 31, All Hallows Eve (Halloween), the children make a children’s altar to invite the angelitos (spirits of dead children) to come back for a visit.
History of Day of the Dead ~ Dia de los Muertos
Day of the Dead is an interesting holiday celebrated in central and southern Mexico during the chilly days of November 1 & 2. Even though this coincides with the Catholic holiday called All Soul’s & All Saint’s Day, the indigenous people have combined this with their own ancient beliefs of honoring their deceased loved ones.
They believe that the gates of heaven are opened at midnight on October 31, and the spirits of all deceased children (angelitos) are allowed to reunite with their families for 24 hours. On November 2, the spirits of the adults come down to enjoy the festivities that are prepared for them. Source

But many of the pictures showing a Kraken attack show an octopus attacking the ship. There are Kraken shower curtains further down the page if that is what you are looking for.

What you will find with the cheap shower curtains is that the images and colors are not as sharp as the more expensive shower curtains. In reading the different reviews, most of the complaints with the cheap shower curtains is that the picture is either blurry or pixilated. From a distance the picture looks fine but up close it’s not so good.
If you just want the “vibe” in the room, then go for the cheaper shower curtains, but if you want good colors and an awesome image then you will need to spend more on the shower curtain.
