Home Depot sells out of 12ft skeleton in May

Following an early launch of some of its most popular Halloween decorations, Home Depot has already sold out of many of its products.

Having launched on 25 April as a halfway to Halloween promotion, named #CodeOrange on social media, the retailer restocked its viral 12ft skeleton, Skelly, as well as Skelly Dog, Deadwood Skelly and Frankenstein’s Monster.

Customers were notified of the promotion via Home Depot’s social media platforms.

Tyler Pelfrey, manager of brand communications for Home Depot, told Fox Business: “We are happy to see the customers’ reactions and enthusiasm for the Halfway to Halloween and #CodeOrange event… we are excited to lean into it and enjoy the fandom alongside them.

“Our Halfway to Halloween sales is for our most dedicated customers, the Halloween super fans. For them, building upon their Halloween collection isn’t a seasonal task, it is a year-round journey.

“Since his debut in 2020, Skelly and his friends have been growing in popularity and we wanted to give our customers multiple opportunities to get their hands on these innovative items.”
