The super-viral, 12-foot Home Depot skeleton is back for fall 2021.
Although it sold out quickly last Halloween after captivating TikTok and Twitter, it’s now available online for $299.
Better yet, this big boy is bringing a new friend to the party: the Giant Inferno Pumpkin Skeleton, also 12 feet tall.
What’s 12 feet tall, a bone-a fide social media icon, and the absolute hottest lawn accessory this spooky season? The giant Home Depot skeleton, of course! We’ve got great news: He’s back for Halloween 2021, and he’s bringing a friend to the party.
This bad boy (officially known as the 12-Foot Giant-Sized Skeleton with LifeEyes) was the undeniable bright spot of last October. The frenzy began late last summer, when a TikTok featuring one of the behemoths strapped to the roof of a Mini Cooper went viral. Then, on the first day of fall, a tweet with a picture of the comically large skeleton just hanging out in a suburban yard garnered well over half a million likes.
He’s even become a fan-favorite addition to any holiday display you can imagine. And now that spooky season is nearly upon us, you need to get your hands on one before October 31.
On top of being, you know, massive, this guy is set apart by his animated eyes, which are brought to life by LCD screens. The decoration now comes with a power cord instead of a battery, meaning you don’t have to worry about keeping him charged all night long.
At $299 (the same price as last year!), this skeleton is certainly a splurge, but it’s not all hype—over 330 Home Depot shoppers have left perfect five-star reviews. “My only regret is I didn’t get two!” one writes. Another raves, “I’m the hit of the neighborhood!”
“At any given time of day or night, there are children, adults, and animals admiring our display and giant skeleton,” another reviewer explains. “And the eyes are amazing! He seems to know where you are underneath him when you look up at him!”
Oh, and did we mention Mr. Giant Skeleton’s brand-new buddy? Following the runaway success of their first model, Home Depot introduced the 12-Foot Giant-Sized Inferno Pumpkin Skeleton with LifeEyes for 2021. Although he shares a frame and glowing eyes with the original skeleton, the new guy is straight out of a haunted farm, with a pumpkin skull, viney limbs, and a chest and mouth that glow with LCD fire. (In other words, you need one of these things, too.)
Both larger-than-life skeletons are available online right now, and they’ll reach Home Depot stores in September. If you’re on the fence, don’t ponder too long, since these things are almost guaranteed to sell out like they did in 2020. No tricks here—just two massive treats.
Not sold? No worries, there are plenty of equally spooky options you can find online right now—most of which are under $30!
