There’s a lot to love about Home Depot’s LED skeleton pumpkin. This Halloween decoration is an inflatable which self-inflates quickly and is illuminated with built-in LEDs. At just under $20, it’s the ideal inflatable Halloween decoration to shop if you’re on a budget and have limited outdoor space since it measures at 3.5 feet tall.

In a five-star review, a customer wrote, “Cute skeleton and is almost as tall as my 5-year-old. She even calls the skeleton her new buddy!!! Easy setup, everything you need, just plug the skeleton in and stake it into the ground. The inflator is very well constructed and it will inflate in about 30 to 45 seconds.

“[What’s] nice is that this skeleton can even be used for a Christmas décor too. It is not scary or strictly Halloween looking. You can just throw some Christmas lights around his arms or other greenery to transform this little guy into a cute Christmas greeter.”

• Price: $279.00

We added one more extremely tall Halloween character to this roundup: the seven-foot tall animated LED Frankenstein’s monster.

In positive five-star reviews, Home Depot shoppers said they were impressed with the quality of the animatronic and its height which seems even taller in person.
