Want a giant skeleton in Shreveport this Halloween? Order now

Remember when the 12-foot-tall skeletons had us all in a stranglehold during the pandemic?

Maybe it was because COVID made us all love yard decorations. Remember when we were all locked down and couldn’t do much? 2020 was the year trick-or-treating was basically canceled. 12-foot tall skeletons were introduced and became the most sought-after item for Halloween.

The problem was that in the early years they were just something really cool that we all saw on the internet. Did anyone actually have the famous skeleton? They were backordered and it wasn’t an impulse purchase. Some people got lucky and were able to take the giant skeletons home to wow the neighborhood.

Why are these giant skeletons so cool?

First of all, it’s a giant skeleton. It’s scary because it has these creepy eyes that seem to move and blink. This skeleton requires two people to build and takes about an hour to assemble. It’s so big that you’ll need to put down ground stakes to keep your scary skeleton in place.

I went to the Home Depot in Bossier in 2023 and couldn’t believe my eyes.

There it was, the Illusive Skelly. This store not only had the 12-foot tall skeleton, but also this giant Jack Skellington. This Jack Skellington is 13 feet tall and animated. Make way for the plain skeleton, we have our new obsession. The Jack Skellington is $399.

If you want one of these for Halloween and don’t want to deal with the hustle and bustle and fighting with other people in the store, you can order one online now. However, you can only order one at a time online. If you want multiple giant skeletons for Halloween, you’ll need to start ordering now.
