UPDATE: Jul. 19, 2024, 9:35 a.m. EDT The Home Depot's 2024 Halloween drop went live online around 6 a.m. ET Thursday, and many items have since sold out. (The 7 ft. Skelly’s Dog, 3 ft. LED Skeleton, 5.5 Ft. Animated LED Fear Valley Wolf, and 9 Ft. Giant-Sized LED Murderous Maple were all out of stock by 7:30 a.m. on launch day.) However, all of the giant skeletons were still available at the time of writing: We last counted 2,855 Skellies, 2,566 Servo Skellies, 2,561 Inferno Deadwood Skeletons, 1,761 Inferno Pumpkin Skeletons.
For those who missed out on a particular prop or accessory, the Home Depot will re-up certain items "in limited quantities this summer," it said on X/Twitter, adding that "Stores will also be set for Halloween by late August." Our original story follows.

Hope you still have cash left over after Amazon Prime Day: The Home Depot will release its jam-packed 2024 Halloween collection online early Thursday morning.
After teasing the drop on social media last week, the home improvement retailer shared the first full look at its spine-chilling lineup Wednesday — including new add-ons and upgrades for its viral 12-foot skeleton ($299), which returns for its second restock of 2024. Shoppers will be able to spruce up "Skelly" with a new sharp-toothed Scary Head ($79.98) and a new accessory kit ($49.98), complete with a purse, shoes, and Wednesday Addams-esque wig. An LED lighting kit ($29.98) for its ribcage, which sold out quickly when it first went on sale last summer, will be available as well.

As if one 12-foot skeleton wasn't enough, the Home Depot is also set to launch two other versions of Skelly as part of Thursday's drop. One is a new limited-edition "Servo Skelly" ($379), a 12-footer with a moving, motorized head. The other is a three-foot "Mini LED Skelly" ($39.98), another returning hit from 2023. The 12-Foot Home Depot Skeleton Extended Universe knows no bounds.

This year marks the fifth coming of Skelly, which was refreshed for 2024 with customizable LCD "LifeEyes." Those who own an older Skelly model purchased between 2020 and 2023 will be able to buy an eye kit ($29.98) to update its peepers.
That's just the tip of the Home Depot Halloween iceberg; shoppers can expect to see a wide range of old and new faces in the upcoming launch. Leading the pack are the new 7 Ft. Skelly's Dog ($199), 12.5-Ft. Inferno Deadwood Skelly ($379), and 7-Ft. Animated Frankenstein's Monster ($279), which made their initial appearances with Skelly in the Home Depot's limited "Halfway to Halloween" drop this past April. Other new props debuting for the very first time include:
12. Ft. Giant-Sized Animated LED Levitating Reaper ($299), a glowing cloaked skeleton armed with a scythe
8.5 Ft. Animated Knight Dullahan ($379), a skeletal headless horseman
7 Ft. Animated LED Captain Cuts ($249), a gruff-voiced pirate with a parrot pal
5.5 Ft. Animated LED Fear Valley Wolf ($199), a rabid canid covered in fur and festering wounds
7 Ft. Animated Victorian Vampire ($199), a Nosferatu wannabe
9 Ft. Giant-Sized LED Murderous Maple ($249), a haunted light-up tree
7 Ft. Animated Plague Doctor ($199), a moving medieval monster
3.5 Ft. Animated Chucky Doll ($199), an almost-too-accurate Good Guy replica
7.5 Ft. Animated LED Trickster Trio Stack ($199), a pile of creepy clowns
Mashable can also confirm the fate of the 12-foot Inferno Pumpkin Skeleton ($379): Skelly's gourd-headed friend from the past three years, which went MIA this spring, will indeed be included in Thursday's launch, said Lance Allen, Senior Merchant of Decorative Holiday at the Home Depot. A new three-foot mini-me ($39.98) will be up for grabs, too.
We'll update this story early Thursday morning when links go live. In the meantime, shoppers can preview select items in the collection on the Home Depot's X/Twitter and Instagram accounts.
If you miss out on any of your favorite props in this week's drop, pop by your local Home Depot between now and Labor Day (Monday, Sept. 2). Most of the company's Halloween collection will be available in stores by then —save for the Servo Skelly and 12-foot Inferno Pumpkin Skeleton, two online exclusives.

Live, laugh, LifeEyes™️: How the 12-foot Home Depot skeleton became a perennial hitThe Home Depot isn't the only retailer fleshing out (boning out?) its Halloween collection for 2024. Target re-launched its eight-foot, TikTok-famous Lewis the Pumpkin Ghoul ($180) online this week alongside four new friends.
Now is a good time to buy any Halloween prop you might have your eye on, as they tend to sell out well before October. For their part, we expect many of the Home Depot's offerings to fly off its virtual shelves in mere hours, if that: Skelly's new 7-foot dog sold out in under 60 minutes during that first launch this spring.
