Impress Your Neighbors on Halloween With This 12-Foot Skeleton

Christmas usually corners 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.

Enjoy These Halloween Skeletons That Are Posed in a Different Situation Every Day

People celebrate Halloween differently. On one end, you have the folks who barely remember to put out a pumpkin on October 31st, and often it’s not even carved into a Jack-o-lantern! On the other end of the spectrum are the people who turn their home into a haunted house, putting in so much time and effort that spectators travel from miles around just to take a look.

And then, there are Bill and Bob. We don’t know their last names or where they live. All we know is that they take Halloween far more seriously than you or I do.

It starts with a few plastic skeletons. Bob and Bill could easily set up their skeletal decorations in a spooky tableau and call it a day. Instead, they pose them in a completely new situation every day. Their neighbor Sami Campoagnano first noticed Bob and Bill’s handiwork and posted it on Twitter, where it promptly went viral.

The scenes are definitely more funny than scary. Almost all of them involve the skeletons in an everyday mundane situation, which makes it even more absurd. (via Bored Panda)
