It is possible to kill them, but there is a MUCH easier way to remove them.

Defeat Skeletron.

That old man in front of the dungeon? Come to him at night, and he will appraise you. If he says something like, "I hope you have, like, 5 other guys standing behind you" then you are too weak. However, if he says "Please! Free me from my curse!" or "You just might be able to help me..." then your are likely good-2-go. When you are ready, come to him at night and click the "Curse" option. The man will turn into Skeletron. It is recommended that you flatten out the nearby area for the fight, as you won't want to be jumping around, simply tring to get over the terrain. Also, use a ranged weapon, and have, say, Meteor armor (Or better) Cloud in a Bottle (And Rocket Boots, if you have them) Hermes Boots (Combine Rocket and Hermes Boots into Spectre Boots with the Tinkerers Workshop, if available) and anything useful. Oh, and healing potions.

Skeletron Strategy: Take out the hands fiirst. They only have 800 health each, and they are Skeletrons main source of attack. Once you kill the hands, it becomes surprisingly easy to kill the head. Simply backpedal and avoid touching his head, shooting it all the while. If you have a Minishark, a Space Gun + Meteor Armor Set, or a Silver bow, this boss should be brought down easily.

Once Skeletron is defeated, you'll be able to enter the Dungeon without incurring the wrath of Dungeon Guardians. Also, the Clothier will become available as an NPC to make housing for. He can sell you Clown Clothes and Doctor Who clothes, after the requirements have been met.
