The heat index in some Southern states topped 113 degrees over the July 26 weekend, but some retailers are already knee-deep in spooky season.

Just as “Christmas creep” has kicked off the winter holiday shopping (and decorating) season as early as September in recent years, Halloween sales seem to be starting earlier and earlier these days. The Home Depot is looking to capitalize. The chain has unveiled its 2025 collection of animatronics and decorations to make your house the scariest on the block. Skelly, the company’s iconic 12-foot skeleton, will lead the charge once again—and while inflation is on the rise and tariffs are looming, the Home Depot says it’s maintaining Skelly’s $299 price tag. Skelly’s got plenty of friends joining him at retail this year. The 2025 collection of larger-than-life ghouls includes a pair of 15-foot-tall animated scarecrows (“Worricrow” and “Gally-Crow,” to be precise), each with a 12.5-foot arm span. (Both are priced at $399.) Skelly will also have a few new pets, including a 5.5-foot sitting skeleton dog with LCD eyes ($249) and a 5-foot-tall skeleton cat.

All the animatronics will go on sale on the Home Depot website (and app) on Monday, August 4. They’ll begin appearing in stores as Halloween draws closer. If you don’t have room for a 12-foot Skelly, the retailer would like to introduce you to Ultra-Skelly, a version roughly half the size of the original that can interact with passers-by via an app. It’ll be priced at $279. “When trick-or-treaters approach the door, the 6.5-foot-tall skeleton can comment on each guest’s costume or greet them as they approach,” the company said in a press release.

The animatronic will have five preset recordings and up to 30 seconds of custom recording with voice modulation. You can also interact with trick-or-treaters live by speaking through Ultra-Skelly via the app. Like the 12-foot model, it can be adapted for other holidays, if you’d like to go to war with your homeowners association and keep it up year-round. The Home Depot has collaborated with Universal Products and Experiences once again to introduce a new 3.5-foot animated Chucky doll, this time with his stitched-up look from Bride of Chucky. There will also be a 3.5-foot Tiffany Valentine (aka, the bride of Chucky from the same film) on offer. Both will cost $229. Other horror characters arriving in animatronic form are a 7-foot Frankenstein ($279), a 6-foot bride of Frankenstein ($279), a 5.5-foot Evil Queen from Snow White and a 6.5-foot Maleficent ($279 each). Jack Skellington and Sally make a return as well.

All-new offerings include the Deadwater collection (featuring a 9.5-foot animated pirate ship for $399 and a 7-foot Megalodon zombie shark for $349) and the Gruesome Grounds collection, which, in addition to the 15-foot scarecrows, showcases an 8-foot dragon that’s about to take flight. Of course, you can always freak out the neighbors with a 9.5-foot LED spider. While consumers tend to get grouchy about December holidays arriving earlier and earlier each year, they don’t seem to mind getting a head start on All Hallows’ Eve festivities. A recent study by RetailMeNot found that “Summerween” is something many consumers get excited about; some 27% of people surveyed were already planning for Halloween. Another harbinger of the season—Spirit Halloween stores—has yet to appear, but the company said it expects to open more than 1,500 locations this year and is looking for 50,000 seasonal employees. Those stores are likely to open their doors in the coming weeks.

There is, of course, a financial incentive for all this. People spent an estimated $11.6 billion on the holiday last year—and that’s likely to rise in 2025. If you do grab some new lawn decorations when they go on sale, however, you might want to wait until the temperatures fall a bit lower before you put them out in the yard.
