    D) I thought I saw a skeleton in the woods; it turned out to be just a network of branches and vines.

    Explanation:

    A semicolon can join together two complete sentences.

    "I thought I saw a skeleton in the woods; it turned out to be just a network of branches and vines."

    This can be split into two complete sentences that were on either side of the semicolon:

    "I thought I saw a skeleton in the woods".

    You only need to add a period for the syntax to be correct.

    ;

    "it turned out to be just a network of branches and vines."

    Since you only need to capitalize the first letter, this is a complete sentence.

    Proper punctuation for other answers:

    A) No matter what anyone else thinks; I happen to like this movie.

    => No matter what anyone else thinks, I happen to like this movie.

    B) However calm he may have looked; he was a nervous wreck on the inside.

    => However calm he may have looked, he was a nervous wreck on the inside.

    C) Here is what you must bring to the game; binoculars, a sandwich, and a drink.

    => Here is what you must bring to the game: binoculars, a sandwich, and a drink.
