TL;DR: As of Oct. 18, the 12-foot skeleton is back in stock at Home Depot. Order one for $299.
In the last week, we’ve been blessed with the return of not one, but two Halloween icons: Michael Myers in his swan song… and the Home Depot skeleton.
Restocked with less than two weeks until the holiday, smashing that « add to cart » button ASAP can still get Skelly into your yard (or your living room) by the end of the month. Shipping to home over shipping to a store will cost an extra $55, because big.
Skelly certainly isn’t the only 12-foot decoration the internet has ever seen. Dupes like the spicy Inferno Pumpkin twin and Lowe’s 12-foot mummy — neither of which were lucky enough to get a Halloween restock — are just participating fan behavior at this point. You can’t argue with LifeEyes (LCD screens to make the eyes appear to move and pupils appear to dilate) or the weather-resistant quality of these bones.
Resale prices illustrate the demand for Skelly. Not scoring a Skelly at its retail price of $299 has you looking at at least double that on eBay, with several listings hitting $750.
