Halloween shopping season is already upon us and it's shaping up to be another year dominated by giant skeletons.
Skelly, Home Depot's official name for the 12-foot skeleton figurine that first went viral in 2020, came back this year with a new host of features, including an accessory kit and a new pet.
The newest and limited edition model of Skelly with a rotating head, called "Servo Skelly," sells exclusively online this year for $379. The original Skelly model is priced at $299 and the 7-foot Skelly Dog is available for $199.
As fans of Halloween decor know, however, getting your hands on a bonafide Skelly has been difficult at times, ever since it first went viral. Other decorators may be interested in adding a few large-and-in-charge skeleton friends to their lineup, but on a tighter budget.
Looking for an alternative, dupe or just a compliment to the 12-foot Home Depot Skelly that still packs a big punch? We've got options.
Joann stores are not just for arts and crafts anymore - they also have supplies for your spooky skeleton needs.
Standing 8 feet tall, Joann's Halloween Animated Skeleton is still larger-than-life, even if it isn't quite as massive as Skelly. Besides its imposing stature, this skeleton also enhances the eerie atmosphere with blue light-up eyes.
A fun (and maybe unusual) bonus? The 2.5-foot skeleton crocodile you can buy along with it. What's a cooler pet − a dog or a croc?
How to get it:
Also standing at 10 feet tall, Walmart's Way To Celebrate 10ft Giant Poseable Skeleton is another Skelly alternative that is plenty tall and menacing in its own right.
Donning more sinister expressions than some of its peers, the Walmart skeleton has poseable limbs and joints, is waterproof and comes ready to offer some festive frights.
How to get it: The 10-foot poseable skeleton sells online and in stores for $289.
Want to add an unmissable skeleton character and canine friend to your display this year minus a couple of feet and a few dollars? Big Lots has a solid alternative.
The discount chain has released a 10-foot tall LED posable skeleton for the 2024 season, priced at about 70 dollars less than OG Skelly. This skeleton is posable, has glowing red eyes and is about two feet shorter, meaning it could be better for more compact spaces (at least comparatively).
To accompany the 10-foot skeleton, Big Lots also has a dog companion, who is likewise a bit smaller than Skelly's pooch. Standing 3.9 feet tall and 5.3 inches long (to Skelly dog's 7 feet), the pup comes with sound-activated red glowing eyes and a jaw that moves as he barks. He also comes with a leash for responsible undead dog ownership.

We've seen circus-themed and underwater-inspired decorations for this year's Halloween season − but what about a haunting farm?
Aptly and uniquely themed for Tractor Supply's brand, the supply store released a 6-foot skeleton rooster this season. Maybe the most imposing animal friend yet, the giant chicken is made to stand tall and withstand outdoor weather conditions.
Complete with a bony comb atop its head, a wattle below its beak (yes, that's what the hanging bit on a rooster's neck is called) and impressive tail "feathers," this decoration is a Tractor Supply exclusive.
How to get it: The 6-foot skeleton rooster sells for $299.99 online and at Tractor Supply stores.
Hoping to shake things up a little in the giant skeleton decor world? Party City has a still-hulking, groundbreaking (literally) option for you.
Name "Rattles," this giant skeleton stands 5.3 feet tall − or at least his upper half does because the lower half is still stuck in his grave.
Rattles is mad for your yard, where he can be staked to give the appearance he is digging his way out of the earth. The upper half of his ribcage sticks out of the ground as his arms position to hoist him further into the land of the living. He also sports a toothy-opened mouthed grin - great for greeting the neighbors.
How to get it: You can find Rattles the Skeleton in stores and online for $299.99.
