Giant Dragon Skull Lands on a British Beach

Charmouth beach, along England's Jurassic Coast, has been the site of many fascinating dinosaur-fossil discoveries over the years. So stumbling across some prehistoric bones wouldn't be that out of the ordinary, right?

A 40-foot dragon skull, though? That's a completely different story. watch video after cut.









Yet that's exactly what surprised beach bums in Charmouth saw last weekend. How could something so huge simply wash ashore? Are there more where it came from? Is winter coming?

Turns out all those questions are easily answered. The realistic-looking skull was actually a clever marketing stunt by Blinkbox, a United Kingdom-based video-on-demand company trumpeting the arrival of Game of Thrones' scintillating third season to its service.

As you'll notice in the photos above and below, it was a creative little ploy. This short YouTube video, meanwhile, gives a behind-the-scenes look at how the skull was created:
