The Home Depot skeleton is back in stock — and will arrive before Halloween if you hurry

This is a formal request for Kelly Clarkson to remix "Behind These Hazel Eyes" using "LifeEyes."

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 demonstrating 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.

Her ever-growing experience in these categories comes in clutch when making recommendations on how to spend your money during shopping holidays like Black Friday, which Leah has been covering for Mashable since 2017.

The robot vacuum beat in particular has cemented itself as Leah's main ~thing~ across the past few years. Since 2019, her expertise has been perpetually bolstered by the meticulous eye she keeps on robot vacuum deals and new releases, but more importantly, her hands-on experience with more than 25 robot vacuums tested in her own home. (This number has probably gone up by the time you're reading this.) That at-home testing is standardized through Mashable's robot testing guide — a granular scoring rubric for assessing all aspects of owning and using a robot vacuum on the daily — that Leah created herself.

Leah graduated from Penn State University in 2016 with dual degrees in Sociology and Media Studies. When she's not writing about shopping (or shopping online for herself), she's almost definitely watching a horror movie, "RuPaul's Drag Race," or "The Office."
