What’s in Home Depot’s 2026 Halloween collection?
Some beloved decorations have returned to this year’s lineup, including the 7-foot Lethal Lily, tombsTones, pumpkins, lights, and fog machines. Some pop culture favorites will also make an appearance, such as a 4 FT Flying Monkey from Universal's Wicked, a 3 FT Stitch (with interchangeable Halloween and Holiday costumes for cross-season value), and interactive Gremlins.

Upgraded Skelly
The biggest star of this year's lineup is the return of Skelly, the viral 12-foot skeleton that has been a Halloween icon since its debut. This year, the towering decoration is getting a high-tech makeover. With app-enabled controls, homeowners can customize Skelly's head and mouth movements, speak through the skeleton in real time via Bluetooth, record up to 30 custom sounds, and choose from 20 LCD LifeEyes effects. For shoppers who prefer the original version, Skelly will also return to stores at its original $299 price.
11-foot Grave & Bones LED Mummy
Beyond Skelly, Home Depot is expanding its lineup of oversized decorations while keeping all in-store giant animatronics priced under $300. New additions include the 11-foot Grave & Bones LED Mummy, featuring customizable wrappings, poseable shoulders, and motion-activated lighting.
8-foot Wicked Woods Perilous Plant Monster
The Wicked Woods Perilous Plant Monster is a towering creature with glowing LED features and motion-triggered head movements.
5-foot Dead Water Rotwing Parrot
The Dead Water Rotwing Parrot responds to yes-or-no questions with animated movements and unique answers.
5.5-foot Wicked Woods Evil Pixie
This animatronic features synchronized movements, eerie sound effects, and glowing red eyes.
