The Home Depot’s Brand New Outdoor Skeleton Décor Will Make Your Yard Truly Bone-Chilling

Emily VanSchmus

Set up the spookiest front yard on the street with these new decorations from Home Depot. Their new collection is spooky enough to scare your socks off, and we've rounded up our favorite outdoor Halloween decor picks that are sure to give the neighbors a friendly fright. Pick up a few under-$20 accessories to go with your existing decorations, or splurge on a large display that'll become the star of the neighborhood trick-or-treat route.

There are so many products to choose from, but we've narrowed down our favorite picks so you'll know exactly what to add to your cart. We can’t wait to display the inflatable Halloween dinosaur in the front yard, and we think every Halloween front porch should have a life-size skeleton to welcome guests. Head to Home Depot (or shop online) to recreate these looks.

Skeleton Playing the Banjo

We can’t get enough of this cowboy skeleton figurine. He's activated by sound, so the 3-foot plastic farmhand will strum his guitar and flash his eyes for a 38-second performance as soon as he hears little monsters coming up the driveway. Plus, the skeleton is easily poseable which makes it perfect to fit into any indoor or outdoor space.
