Skelly’s baaaaack. It’s never too early to prepare for Halloween, and spooky season enthusiasts can finally get their hands on the viral 12-foot skeleton — a festive favorite of LA set designers and seen recently in the home of Kourtney Kardashian Barker — that sells out year after year.
The magnificent Skelly ($299) has returned to Home Depot with his gang of giant ghouls, including a new seven-foot pet skeleton dog that’s proportionate to its oversized owner as a golden retriever is to real people. This year’s massive skeleton now has customizable LCD eyes with eight settings, and high-tech kits and accessory sets are also available for those who already have a Skelly.
Home Depot’s Halloween decoration lineup also includes a limited-edition 12-foot Servo Skelly with “lifelike head movements” ($379) that’s an online exclusive, a 12.5-foot Inferno Deadwood Skelly, a 12-foot Inferno Pumpkin Skelly and a new collaboration with NBCUniversal featuring animatronics of Frankenstein and Chucky. The seasonal collections join the company’s existing Halloween products for popular franchises, such as Disney’s The Nightmare Before Christmas (find a 13-foot Jack Skellington here) adorable Hello Kitty and Bluey inflatables and other beloved characters.
It’s worth noting that the home improvement retailer is limiting online purchases on Skelly and other Halloween items to one per order, and shipping begins around late August. Home Depot says products are available to buy in stores beginning September.
Come Halloween, the 12-foot bone man is a regular fixture in Hollywood. It’s a popular lawn centerpiece at “Horror Row” in Burbank, the Los Angeles neighborhood that’s home to professional film and TV set decorators.
Word to the wise: New Skelly owners, you’ll want a storage strategy to contain your new giant pal (Redditors suggest stocking up on multiple bins).
