Home Depot has cornered the market on the 12-foot skeleton, an impressive outdoor Halloween decoration that has gone viral in recent years. This year, Home Depot is releasing a brand new version of the 12-foot skeleton that speaks, raising the bar for oversized Halloween decor.
But Lowe’s is taking the fight to Home Depot this Halloween season, this week unleashing what they’re calling the “tallest Halloween animatronic on the market at 15 feet tall.”
Yes, this guy is a full three feet taller than Home Depot’s “Skelly”!
It’s dubbed the 15-ft Talking Lighted Skeleton Watcher Animatronic, and it’s available NOW from Lowe’s for $429. You can grab one either in stores or on the official Lowe’s website.
Here’s the full product description from Lowe’s…
- WATCH OUT—the towering, headless 15-FT ANIMATED WATCHER™ holds his severed skull high, scanning the scene with LED eyes blazing like a watchtower beacon sweeping across your haunt!
- Turning eerily from side to side, the 15-FT ANIMATED WATCHER™ commands attention with chilling phrases, spooky sounds, and sweeping LED eyes that keep your haunt under constant surveillance!
- Outdoor-rated and frightfully strong, this easy-to-assemble, sound, motion, or footpad/button (sold separately) activated giant stands tall with a sturdy metal frame, super-bright LED lights, external speaker capable (not included), and powered by 5.9V 3A DC adapter (included)!
