    Meet Ultra Skelly, the High-Tech Version of Home Depot’s Viral Skeleton

    I know you’ve seen Skelly at some point in the past five years. Maybe it was driving around your neighborhood during Halloween, or on a viral post about Halloween decorations. Maybe both! Maybe it’s in your friend’s yard year-round, wearing a Santa hat for Christmas and rocking 2025 glasses with a bottle of champagne for the new year. (Maybe that’s just my friend’s yard.)

    The popular 12-foot skeleton, aptly named Skelly, has become a Halloween classic (and a permanent yard mainstay for the Halloween elite) since it launched in 2020. This year, Home Depot is launching a few new items in its Halloween collection, including a brand-new, tech-powered Ultra Skelly ($279).

    Ultra Skelly is the souped-up tech edition of original Skelly, with customizable ribcage lights and eyes, four movements it can perform, preset and custom audio recordings it can repeat, a live audio option, and a motion sensor to activate it. It’s shorter than the 12-foot icon, but 6 1/2 feet is nothing to scoff at, either. That just means Ultra Skelly can fit next to your front door and jump-scare your trick-or-treaters.

    On the visual side, there’s a light built into Ultra Skelly’s mouth and chest, both of which have a full spectrum of color you can choose from in the newly revamped DecorPro SVI app (Android and iOs), which Home Depot launched last week. The most fun visual, though, is Skelly’s new LCD eyes, which feature 18 different styles to choose from. There are options for both Halloween and holidays beyond, from skull and red human eyes to hearts, snowflakes, and birthday confetti. There are also a handful of non-holiday options, like blue, green, and brown eyes.

    As for the audio and animatronics, Ultra Skelly has four movements with its head, mouth, arm, and torso that you can control. This high-tech skeleton also comes with five preset audio recordings and the ability to record up to 30 seconds of your own audio, which you can manipulate with eerie voice modulation. There’s a live audio mode too, if you wanted to speak through Ultra Skelly while sitting out of sight.

    The DecorPro SVI app works with Bluetooth, so you’ll need to be within range to customize Ultra Skelly and use live audio. Ultra Skelly doesn’t connect to Wi-Fi, so it’s not technically smart, but it still packs plenty of futuristic fun for the holidays.

    Beyond Ultra

    Ultra Skelly isn’t the only new addition to the skeleton family. There’s a new version of Skelly’s best friend: a 5-foot Sitting Skelly’s Dog ($249) that will also have customizable eyes. The 7-foot standing version ($199) of the dog is back as well. This year, cat people will also be recognized with a new 5-foot Skelly’s Cat ($199). The original 12-foot Skelly ($299) will return, and after a year of price raises across markets, it’s nice to see it has actually stayed the same price. This regular Skelly also has customizable LCD eyes, albeit with only eight options. Ultra Skelly ($279) is actually the cheaper of the two Skelly options, even with all its cool features, but it is nearly half the size.

    All of these are available today on Home Depot’s website and in the Home Depot app, along with the rest of Home Depot’s Halloween collections. If you’re looking for something else fun, don’t miss the 15-foot haunted scarecrow ($399), 8-foot animated Wyvern ($399), and so much more. Happy Halloween, my fellow spooky friends.
