Bigger, bolder, and spookier than ever. That’s how Home Depot is describing this year’s lineup of brand new Halloween animatronics and decorations, and that’s saying something given how big and bold Home Depot’s Halloween offerings have been in recent years. You might not think of Home Depot as a Halloween destination, but trust me, they all go out these days.
Home Depot is launching its 2026 Halloween collection online and on its app beginning Thursday, July 16, 2026, followed by an in-store rollout that’s set to begin in August.
We’ll be spotlighting some of the new decor in the coming days here on Bloody Disgusting, and we kick things off this morning with a sneak peek at some new Gremlins animatronics!
You may recall that Home Depot had released a Stripe animatronic for Halloween 2025, and this year Stripe is getting an upgrade with the brand new Mohawk animatronic.
Mohawk was one of the main antagonists featured in Joe Dante’s Gremlins 2: The New Batch, and the 3.5-foot animatronic from Home Depot will feature light up LED eyes.
The animated Gremlins decoration likely also speaks phrases from the movie and features both head and mouth movements, but we don’t have full information at this time.
Additionally, Home Depot will be releasing a 3-piece Gremlins animatronic set, which will feature three different Gremlins characters from Joe Dante’s original classic.
It looks like all three come together as a connected set, with one Gremlin eating popcorn and another wearing 3D glasses. The third character is the memorable Flasher Gremlin!
Expect to learn more when these go up for grabs from Home Depot beginning July 16!
