Home Depot’s famous giant skeleton has a voice this Halloween. Check out the new app

Fall has begun and the spooky season is upon us, so it’s time to prepare your Halloween decorations. And this year, Home Depot’s famous giant skeleton is back Application The new Ultra Skelly gives a new sound and movements to scare trick-or-treaters.

Don’t worry about it: Skelly is high-tech in this spooky season. The new animated version is shorter than the original, at 6.5 feet tall, but you can terrorize the entire neighborhood with this skeleton’s rotating upper torso, moving mouth, and 18 different LCD eye shapes (ew).

Skelly, available for sale on the Home Depot website or app for $279, now lets visitors chat with you through five preset recordings and up to 30 seconds of custom recordings, plus Bluetooth capabilities that enable real-time interaction. And you can modify your voice to make everything sound extra scary.

Skelly launched in 2020, when the pandemic forced people to celebrate Halloween remotely. Perhaps because of its gigantic stature — it’s easy to spot, even when socially distanced — the skeleton became a hit and has been revived every year since. Promotions and friends. This year, those friends include dragons, dwarves, scarecrows, and Skelly the Cat (not to be confused with the Smelly Cat).
