Home Depot is once again updating its widely shared 12-foot-tall Halloween skeleton, known as “Skelly,” as the company promotes new decor for the upcoming spooky season. Multiple outlets report that the 12-foot figure now includes added technology that lets it speak. The update borrows features previously introduced in Home Depot’s smaller 6.5-foot “Ultra Skelly” from last year. With the new setup, users can speak through the skeleton’s moving mouth by using a mobile app, allowing the large outdoor display to generate voice output through the figure. The upgrades are part of a broader rollout in which Home Depot also introduces close to 30 other Halloween decoration items. The coverage frames the change as another step in maintaining the popularity of the viral 12-foot skeleton, rather than as a brand-new product line. Overall, sources agree that the main new capability is interactive talking controlled via a companion app, paired with mouth movement.
