    I have received seven skulls so far, and I have the pumpkin.
    I have only received one of the motifs and everything else has been recipes.

    It seems to be completely random.
    Why be normal when you can be better?

    I used 4 total before I got the scarecrow. Rest were only blue food.

    Sounds awful but it's comforting to know someone else's luck is as bad as mine

    Here's the trick to it. The game it feels what you're after. Farm with the thought of farming for the heck and fun of it and don't excpect anything from the skulls.

    This. Farm for crawlers. Say "sweet mother of foul water fishing, I could use some crawlers". Watch the skulls drop anything but crawlers.
    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    I got the Scarecrow Mask on my third Skull, OP.

    It's purely up to the whims of RNGsus.

    All I can say is to keep trying.

    Are you sure that it can be achieved without fondling balls to Rich or Matt?

    Why would you think there would be a set number of skulls to get a mask? Its RNG man!

    7 bosses, two under my level (which dropped nothing), and out of the other 5 a skull for each, 4 Hollowjack motifs (including 1 duplicate), 7 Hollowjack crafting mats and two 'Crunchy Pumpkin Skewer' recipes.

    Hey, RNG is random - who knew???

    Seriously, just run through the event as intended - get out and see the world, scratch a few bosses and delves off the 'cheevos and you'll likely end up with the pieces you want before you know it.

    Wow I wonder if the mask droprate is different in different spots or if we're just two sides of the same RNG coin. I've looted 133 skulls so far and no mask yet
