Why do Predators hang their victims upside down?

[alchan8]

And why do they skin their victims

[Uncanny Antman]

Hanging a body by it's feet makes the skinning all the more easy to do.

As for why they skin them....

Uhhhh....


To make clothing? 

[gameoverman]

IMO to let the all the blood drain so it's a lot less messy to skin them. 

As for why the pred skins them - I think he collects the skins like Leatherface does and makes them into clothing and stuff.

Mark the kill. The prey is not good enough to take as a trophy, so the body is skinned and held up as if to say 'This is my work'. Least that's my understanding of it.

[The Chibi Kiriyama]

They probably hang them upside down as added dishonor to the fact that they weren't worthy enough to be considered a trophy kill. Or perhaps it's as a subliminal warning to those who do not meet expectations. As for why they're skinned in the first place? I'd just go with the principle of insult to injury- it's bad enough that the prey was killed and never fashioned into something worthwhile after the kill, but the lack of skin and organs makes them look like the way the Predator must envision them to be...weak and unworthy.

All presumption, but I have the feeling it's more out of ritual reasoning than anything else.

Heres what i think.
They skin the corpse and hang it as if to say:
"I did this, so look the f**k out"

I think they use the skin like they do with the skulls.
Stretching it over frames to use as trophies.

Sounds like you've done this before...

But for the hanging question, same reason we hang our animals upside down...everything falls out easier.

That sounds Right to me.

Because Predators prize keeping the skulls, so right side up would damage them.

Upside-down is easiest becuase the feet make natural holds.

[Nightmare]

theyr hanging upside down because of gravity:P

i like to think in a human skin carpet in a predator bedroom or somethin

if u agree with the honour crap, than ist because the prey was not worthy....
if ur more sport lover or somethin....will make good clothing even i dont see humam hide bein very good....still can make a good carpet....

They should mount human heads on walls like we do to deer. Thats way scarier than skulls, they sell skulls in haloween shops, but not mounted human heads!

Ritual? Sacrifice?

As you could see in Predator 2, the Predator skinned all the victims accept the one that was sacrificed by the Jamaicans.  Thats what I think.
