Halloween enthusiasts looking to take their decorations to the next level have a thrilling new option this year, the high-tech Ultra Skelly. This animatronic skeleton builds on the popularity of the original 12-foot Skelly, a yard staple since 2020, but packs cutting-edge features sure to impress trick-or-treaters and neighbors alike.
Priced at $279, Ultra Skelly stands at 6.5 feet tall, making it more versatile for placement near doorways or walkways. What sets it apart are its customizable LED lights in the ribcage and eyes, along with four dynamic movements, head turns, jaw motions, arm raises, and torso twists. The built-in motion sensor triggers its animations, perfect for surprising visitors.
For those who love personalization, the DecorPro SVI app (available for iOS and Android) unlocks even more possibilities. Users can select from 18 eye designs, including spooky skulls, festive hearts, and seasonal snowflakes. The mouth and chest lights offer a full spectrum of colors, while the audio features include five preset sound clips and the ability to record custom 30-second messages with eerie voice effects. A live audio mode even lets you speak through the skeleton in real time.
Home Depot’s Halloween lineup doesn’t stop there. Joining Ultra Skelly are new additions like the 5-foot Sitting Skelly’s Dog ($249) and the debut of Skelly’s Cat ($199), both with customizable LCD eyes. The classic 12-foot Skelly ($299) returns unchanged in price, though its eye options are more limited compared to the Ultra version.
For those craving larger-than-life scares, the collection also includes a 15-foot haunted scarecrow ($399) and an 8-foot animated Wyvern ($399). Whether you’re a die-hard Halloween decorator or just dipping your toes into the spooky season, these animatronics offer next-level frights and festive fun.
