If you’re anything like me, you probably started adding spooky Halloween decor to your online cart the minute temperatures dipped below 80 degrees. To prep for costume parties and all the October festivities, I'm stocking up on spooky faux cobwebs, chic pumpkin-shaped tableware and more. But if you truly want to win the award for best Halloween decor on the block, look no further than this viral 12-foot skeleton from Home Depot.
Perfect for all the times you’ve looked at your house and thought, "you know what’s missing? A larger-than-life skeleton statue," this gigantic Skelly measures 12-feet tall by 5--feet wide and features glowing eyes for a truly frightening look. The massive decoration went viral in recent years for its looming presence on front lawns across America, which is why this skeleton decoration tends to sell out fast!
Every year, shoppers anticipate the restocking of Skelly the Skeleton (in fact, Home Depot even added a 7-foot skeleton dog to accompany him!). It’s made up of easy-to-assemble off-white bones with posable limbs and comes with a base to stand it up in your yard. However, if you happen to have high ceilings, this statue would look equally haunting inside.
Due to the high demand, we recommend scooping up this now-iconic Halloween statue before it's out of stock.
If you simply don’t have space for a 12-foot skeleton figure (something tells me he wouldn’t fit inside my tiny NYC apartment…), don't worry. I saved your Halloween party with these slightly smaller skeletons that you can add to your mantle, entry table or front porch display.
