Skelly (Halloween decoration)

[3][4] The lawn decoration was created in Home Depot's research and development department by Lance Allen and Rachel Little.

[1] In 2024, Home Depot created an updated version of Skelly with customizable glowing LED eyes.

[5] Home Depot also released a limited-edition "servo Skelly", an animatronic version of the decoration that uses motors to move.

[1] Skelly is also popular year-round, and is occasionally used to celebrate other holidays such as Christmas by putting a giant Santa suit on him.

[13] Skelly's year-round popularity has caused it to run afoul with homeowner associations in the United States, and owners of it have faced fines for displaying it outside of the Halloween season.
