For years, Christmas has cornered the market on gaudy, oversized, slightly (or more than slightly) ridiculous decorations for your home. Inside, outside, both – the more, the bigger, the brighter, the better.
Halloween, though, is an up-and-coming holiday that’s getting tons more love than she used to – it’s fall, the weather is nice, the pumpkin spice is flowing, so is the candy, and almost everyone loves to feel the slightest bit spooked.
Enter… the 12-foot skeleton!

There are many lawn decorations to choose from, that range from kitschy to scary to inflatable to lit up, but listen – a skeleton that’s twice as tall as the average man sounds like a way to make a real statement to the neighbors, if you ask me.
Really throw down the Halloween gauntlet.
Home Depot is offering the 12-Foot Giant-Sized Skeleton with LifeEyes, and yeah, that last part is the real spooky kicker.

His bones are off-white, which contrast nicely with his creepy, light-up, animated eyeballs that blink and follow people -or at least, seem to follow people – as they cross your yard and make their way to your front door.
The moving parts come with a convenient timer, and the whole thing comes with a base piece that makes it easy to stand him up wherever you’d like.
You can order this delightfully large monstrosity for a cool $299, but it’s built to last and will surely delight and terrify trick-or-treaters for years to come.

Pro-tip: this thing is tall, so you’re going to need some help putting it together.
And while you’ve got a crew assembled, go ahead and implement the fog-and-spotlight scenario, too.
You can thank me later.
