SAVE UP TO $25: The 12-foot Home Depot skeleton's Scary Head and Accessory Kit are on sale for up to 31% off through midnight on Oct. 3 as "Special Buys of the Day" on the retailer's website.
Two new accessories for the Home Depot's iconic 12-foot skeleton are on sale just in time for Halloween — and just for today (Thursday, Oct. 3).
From now until midnight, the home improvement retailer has select Halloween decorations on sale as online "Special Buys of the Day." That includes the Standard Skelly Scary Head (was $79.98, now $54.98) and the 12 ft. Skeleton Accessory Kit (was $49.98, now $34.98), which are 31 and 30 percent off, respectively.
The Scary Head is an interchangeable skull for the Home Depot's $299 flagship giant skeleton (nicknamed "Skelly") that features a menacing, sharp-toothed grin, Jack Nicholson-esque eyebrows, and eight LCD eye options that can be adjusted via remote control. For those who prefer silly over spine-chilling, the Accessory Kit comes with a black double-plaited wig, black shoes, a beaded necklace, and a purse, all of them weatherproof.
Shoppers can purchase up to 20 of them per order, in case anyone has a whole herd of 12-footers to decorate. At the time of writing, there were more than 2,000 of each left in stock.
Both accessories were released in July as part of the Home Depot's 2024 Halloween collection, which was helmed by Skelly for the fifth year in a row, plus its new seven-foot-long skeleton dog, a new 12-foot "Servo Skelly" with motorized head movements, and new a 12-foot "Inferno Deadwood" skeleton. Along with the Scary Head and Accessory Kit, the Home Depot dropped two other Skelly add-ons as part of the collection: an LED lighting kit for its ribcage and a new customizable eye kit.
Some items in the collection were available online when we last checked, albeit in very limited quantities. That includes the skeleton dog, which sold out lightning-fast during the summer launch and a limited "Halfway to Halloween" drop in April, as well as the Inferno Deadwood skeleton and the other kits. None of them are on sale, though.
For its part, Skelly is out of stock; shoppers still searching for one might have luck in-person at their local Home Depot store, but no promises. Seems like the hype hasn't died just yet.
