A Cultural Phenomenon: The SKELLY Giant Returns
The viral 12 FT Giant-Sized SKELLY Halloween decoration returns with app-enabled upgrades that let owners customize head and mouth movements with servo motors, speak through the SKELLY animatronic in real time via Bluetooth®, record up to 30 sounds and choose from 20 different LCD LifeEyes™ effects. These upgrades make the original Halloween giant the ultimate piece to add to collections and wow onlookers. Customers who want the original SKELLY can find him in stores at his original price of $299.

Giant-Sized Value
For customers looking to build out their giant collections at an equally massive value, The Home Depot expands its roster of giants with the 11 FT Grave & Bones™ Giant-Sized LED Mummy, which features motion-activated LED illumination, poseable shoulders to adjust the reach and customizable wrappings, and the 8 FT Wicked Woods™ Giant-Sized Animated LED Perilous Plant Monster, which startles passersby with an intricate bone-and-vine design, motion-triggered head movements and glowing LED features.

Interactive Frights & Next-Generation Animatronics
Every seafaring pirate needs a parrot, and the 5 FT Dead Water™ Animated LED Rotwing Parrot™ keeps customers entertained with its new interactive, conversational technology. Ask this undead parrot yes or no questions and get unique responses with head and mouth animation. This bony bird keeps visitors chatting.

Introducing an impish new energy to outdoor displays, the 5.5 FT Wicked Woods™ Animated LED Evil Pixie™ brings a high-profile scare factor home with three synchronized animatronic movements complemented by three haunting sound effects and glowing red LED eyes.

The 12 FT Giant-Sized SKELLY animatronic isn't the only fan favorite getting an upgrade. The 7 FT Lethal Lily returns with app-controlled features that let homeowners customize what she says and how she moves, including six sinister, pre-recorded or custom phrases and five adjustable movements for the head, mouth, eyes, arm and hand.

Storage Solutions for Lasting Memories
To help customers keep their Halloween treasures in top condition for years to come, The Home Depot offers practical storage solutions like the Home Accents Holiday™ Décor Storage Bag and the colossal Husky™ 170-Gallon Pro Grip™ Storage Tote. This massive tote helps Halloween enthusiasts protect and preserve larger-than-life skeletons and animatronics while they rest in garages and crawl spaces until next season.
