Have you ever stumbled upon a 12-foot skeleton in your neighborhood, only to wonder if you’ve entered a spooky parallel universe? Meet Skelly, the beloved giant skeleton that has become an iconic figure not just for Halloween, but as a year-round spectacle in many yards across the nation!

Launched in 2020, Skelly quickly transformed from a seasonal decoration into a permanent resident for those who take Halloween decorating seriously. This year, Home Depot is raising the bar with the introduction of a new tech-savvy version called Ultra Skelly, set to take your Halloween decor to the next dimension for a price of $279.

But what makes Ultra Skelly so special? Imagine a skeleton that not only stands as tall as a basketball hoop but also lights up with customizable ribcage lights and expressive LCD eyes. Yes, you heard that right! With over 18 different eye styles ranging from classic skulls to festive snowflakes, Ultra Skelly is designed to dazzle.

While he may be shorter at 6.5 feet compared to his towering 12-foot predecessor, Ultra Skelly is definitely not to be underestimated. He’s engineered for maximum scare potential, equipped with a motion sensor that activates when unsuspecting trick-or-treaters approach your door. Talk about a fright!

The technology doesn’t stop there! Ultra Skelly can perform four different movements with his head, mouth, arms, and torso, making it feel like he’s alive. And for those looking to get creative, he comes with five preset audio recordings and allows you to record up to 30 seconds of your own spooky soundbites, complete with creepy voice modulation. Want to scare your guests with a ghostly whisper? Now you can do it through Ultra Skelly while hidden away!

Speaking of customization, the DecorPro SVI app, which is compatible with both Android and iOS, allows you to control Ultra Skelly via Bluetooth. Just know that you’ll need to be within range since he doesn’t connect to Wi-Fi. But who needs that when you have skeletal fun at your fingertips?

But wait, there’s more! Joining Ultra Skelly in the Halloween lineup are his furry friends, including a 5-foot Sitting Skelly’s Dog for $249, and a 5-foot Skelly’s Cat for $199, recognizing the feline fans among us. Plus, the original 12-foot Skelly is back at the same price of $299, proving that he’s still a seasonal favorite.

All these spooky delights are available right now on Home Depot's website and app, alongside a slew of other haunting decorations like a 15-foot haunted scarecrow and an 8-foot animated Wyvern. So, whether you’re all about the fright or just looking for some fun, it’s time to gear up for a Halloween like no other!
