Home Depot declares we're halfway to Halloween, unveils Skelly upgrade
The limited collection includes 12-foot skeletons and other Halloween items, with prices listed for several products.
- On Wednesday, April 8, 2026, The Home Depot surprise-released 14 new Halloween decorations for its annual Halfway to Halloween sale, available online while supplies last with a limit of one per order.
- This year's event returns after a 2025 hiatus caused by fluctuating tariffs that created significant uncertainty throughout the Halloween decor industry.

- Notably absent from this release is Skelly, the viral 12-foot-tall skeleton that The Home Depot has sold annually since 2020, though the company confirmed it will return later this year.
