The Home Depot offers all in-store giant animatronics for less than $300.

A Cultural Phenomenon: Skelly Returns

The viral 12 FT Giant-Sized Skelly returns with app-enabled upgrades that let customers customize head and mouth movements with servo motors, speak through Skelly 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.

Skelly isn't the only returning 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.

Beloved Characters Join the Fun

The Home Depot continues to expand its collaborations with The Walt Disney Company® and NBCUniversal®, bringing even more fan-favorite characters to Halloween displays. The lovably mischievous alien 3 FT Animated LED Stitch speaks five unique phrases and has interchangeable Halloween and Holiday costumes for incredible cross-season value.

Bringing the cinematic magic of Oz straight to your front lawn, the 4 FT Animated LED Flying Monkey from the Wicked universe features motion-activated lunging, realistic head tilts, and flapping wings for a dramatic touch.

Another movie classic joins The Home Depot collection with the 3.5 FT Animated Mohawk and Animated LED Gremlins 3-Piece animatronics. These horror-comedy favorites work together or stand alone, bring playful mischief to Halloween displays and delight trick-or-treaters and movie fans alike.

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.

The Home Depot launches its 2026 Halloween collection online starting Thursday, July 16, while supplies last. With free delivery on over 2 million items and same-day or next-day delivery on select products, customers can start building their Halloween displays before products arrive in stores this fall.
