It’s officially Spooky Season. We’re in the home stretch of 2021, and it is the most wonderful time of the year – the weather’s changing, all that fine festive Halloween candy is hitting store shelves, and it’s time to fire up those horror classics with a fresh bucket of popcorn. It’s time to rest and relax for a bit, folks. For me, part of the fun during the holidays (and yes, I do consider October the official launch of “the holidays,” @ me cowards) is taking in all of the lavish and excessive decorations. That’s ultimately what we’re here to talk about today…giant skeletons as decorations.
Remember when the giant Home Depot skeleton was the latest Spooky Season meme craze? What was that? A year ago? I can’t recall – probably should check on that before I publish this piece, but that’s the benefit of us making our own rules here. We can just guess on stuff like that and the Editor won’t call us out for it. Anyway, the comically large skeletons sold at Home Depot, 12 feet tall, were everywhere last October. They made for an over-the-top lawn decoration, and some of the best content on the internet was born out of their mere existence. Well, one Ohio man is
Ohio resident Alan Perkins has taken the 12 foot skeleton game to an entirely new level, building a MASSIVE skeleton bursting out of his home to grab the 12 footer like a toy. Apparently he’s still going to add a giant skull bursting through the roof. Just phenomenal work. pic.twitter.com/0aTEQhVWvu

I love it. Alan Perkins, let’s keep upping the ante. Why stop at 12 feet? Why stop at bigger than a house? Next year, I’m hoping someone can build one of these as big as Godzilla. Who has the guts to do it? Come on! Home Depot, you ain’t shit when it comes to giant skeletons anymore! The only thing that makes me cringe about this is that it does seem like an awful lot of work for just a few weeks worth of enjoyment. Unless, of course, Alan intends to keep this giant skeleton bursting out of his house year round. Maybe I’m just turning into an old curmudgeon, but I can definitely hear myself complaining about having to take this thing down in a couple of weeks. Regardless of what I think, this is a Halloween marvel, and no one on the block. Nay, no one in the country is going to compete with this house. I can’t wait to see the finished product, gigantic skull and all. Well done, Alan.
