Giant-Sized 'Skelly' With LifeEyes LCD Eyes
Price: $299
Likely the most famous item in The Home Depot’s Halloween line is its 12-foot "Skelly" skeleton, (which also comes in a six-foot version) with glowing eyes that move and blink with a variety of colors and effects. It’s the easiest way to announce to the neighborhood that yours is the spookiest house in the area — after all, Skelly is hard to miss at 12 feet. Go big and set the spooky tone with Skelly this year.
Grave and Bones Giant-Sized LED Mummy
Price: $299
Maybe you’ve already got Skelly from last year and want to expand or perhaps your neighbor has a Skelly and you’re looking to outdo them. Either way The Home Depot has expanded its line of yard giants in 2026 to add this massive 11-foot LED mummy with glowing eyes and chest and programmed with a variety of scary sounds. The mummy also comes with a motion sensor — when trick-or-treaters get close, the glowing mummy will “wake up” and give anyone nearby a big (but safe) fright.
Animated LED Stitch
Price: $199
As fun as it can be to get creepy with Halloween, if you have little ones who will be around, you might need to keep the décor a bit more kid-friendly. That’s where this three-foot version of the Disney alien animated LED Stitch comes in handy. Activated by a motion sensor, he can move and make sounds whenever a child comes near. Also, he’s styled for multiple seasons: he comes with a mummy outfit for Halloween and a scarf and Christmas lights for the holiday season.
Animated LED Gremlins
Price: $249
Speaking of mixing Halloween with Christmas, here’s another dual holiday animatronic display for your yard (or indoor holiday party): three animated LED gremlins who move their heads and speak when their motion sensor is activated. Perfect for the Halloween season, but also the holidays — remember, "Gremlins" was a dark Christmas classic.
Life-Size Motion-Sensor Mausoleum
Price: $399.99
Listen, if you really want to splurge and go the distance this Halloween, there’s one Home Depot item that reigns supreme: the 6.7-foot animatronic mausoleum. This is a façade that’s designed to look like the front door of a mausoleum, complete with animated opening door that reveals a glowing LED video of a floating skull with strobe effects and terrifying ambient sounds, all of which is triggered by a motion sensor. It might just be the perfect way to terrify trick-or-treaters before rewarding them with candies and treats, as well as a Halloween memory they won’t soon forget.
