Spooky season may not be upon us for another six months, but that’s not stopping the Home Depot from selling Halloween decor in April.
The retail giant is selling its highly sought-after Halloween decorations much earlier than previous years, including Skelly, the viral 12-foot skeleton decoration many shoppers couldn’t wait to get their hands on.
Last year’s merch lineup was announced in July, the company said. This year, the company began hosting a “Halfway to Halloween” sale on Thursday to give customers more time to get the spooky goods.
The products are available online at HomeDepot.com.
What's available at the Halfway to Halloween sale?
The 2024 lineup includes:
- 7-foot Skeleton Dog – $199
- Three-pack, 5-foot LED Ultra Pose-n-Stay Skeleton – $119
- 7-foot animated LED Frankenstein’s Monster (Inspired by Universal’s Classic Monster) – $249)
- 12-foot Giant-Sized Skeleton – $299
- 12.5-foot Giant-Sized Inferno Deadwood Skeleton – $379
Skelly now has new features
Skelly's new features include eight different Life Eyes technology settings that allow the haunting figure to move its eyes and blink.
The skeleton also has hinged shoulder joints that allow customers to partially pose it, the company said in a previous ad.
Skelly first hit the shelves in 2020 and since then, customers have made it a staple in their Halloween setups.
If 12 feet is too much for shoppers, the company is also selling 5-foot skeletons in packs of three.
Social media reacts to early Halloween decor
When Home Depot announced that some Halloween items had already gone on sale, X users couldn’t help but share their excitement. Some even expressed disappointment that they couldn’t get the items they wanted.
“Our Halloween assortment moved quickly this morning, but don't worry, we'll be releasing more of your favorite Halloween items in limited quantities this summer,” the company replied to one social media user.
