Frightening Customer Favorite Returns From the Crypt to Home Depot Stores

We just celebrated the First Day of Spring so of course we're talking about Halloween decorations. It's 2024, and stranger things have happened.

It May Be Spring, But We're Talking All Things Halloween

Home Depot announced last week that they will be bringing back the viral 12-foot skeleton that took over front lawns during Halloween 2020. On Instagram Home Depot explains that said skeleton has a name: SKELLY.

The home improvement store adds "We’re excited to share that Skelly will be back this Halloween season along with a new companion and friends."

It looks like Skelly has a skeleton version of man's best friend, a headless horseman-type figure, and a skeleton mobster. Check it out:

When Can You Get Your 12-Foot Hudson Valley Skeleton?

As we mentioned, it's still very early in the 2024 season so Home Depot doesn't have their Halloween decor out just yet. But according to a response in the comment section on Instagram, we should see some updates in the summer.

Home Depot writes:

We can't confirm any official launch dates, but make sure to follow our social channels for more information about our Halloween assortment launch this summer.

That gives customers just enough time to save up $300 to purchase their own Skelly.
