HALLOWEEN fans are in for a fright this year as Home Depot rolls out an expanded lineup of its viral skeleton decorations.
The centerpiece is Ultra Skelly, a new high-tech version of the giant skeleton that first went viral in 2020.

Home Depot, headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, says Ultra Skelly is designed to give yards a spine-chilling upgrade for the spooky season.
The animatronic skeleton stands 6.5 feet tall and comes with a rotating torso, moving mouth, and 18 LCD eye variations.
Skelly can now speak with five preset messages and up to 30 seconds of custom recordings.
Bluetooth connectivity allows homeowners to interact with visitors in real time and modulate their voices for extra spook factor.
The original 12-foot Skelly remains available for diehard fans at $299, while the new Ultra Skelly is priced at $279.
Home Depot also introduced a family of skeletal companions to join Skelly on your lawn.
Ultra Skelly’s Sitting Dog measures five feet tall and features poseable jaws and selectable LCD LifeEyes.
The original 7-foot Skelly Dog returns with glowing LCD eyes, stretching out across yards for maximum creep factor.
A new addition, Skelly’s Cat, is a five-foot LED-lit feline with glowing eyes and a sleek skeletal frame.
All of the decorations are designed to entertain neighbors, delight trick-or-treaters, and help families build seasonal traditions.
Ultra Skelly is controlled via a smartphone app that lets users upload messages, adjust eye animations, and trigger movement.
Owners can speak through the skeleton in Robot, Alien, Echo, Low-Pitch, or High-Pitch voices.
Home Depot first launched the skeleton during the pandemic, when socially distant Halloween celebrations were common.
The towering figure quickly became a viral sensation on social media and has returned every year with upgrades.
