And having previously purchased one I can confirm that it isn’t half bad! Is the metal sort of cheap and the adhesive backing pitiful? Yes. But it also includes screws to mount it directly into the wall, and having all my Airwrap accessories on the wall makes me feel fancy. At $32.45, it’s 19 percent cheaper than when I bought it.

Five years ago, Home Depot stumbled upon a viral hit with a 12-foot-tall skeleton nicknamed Skelly. The towering Halloween decoration can be seen year-round in some neighborhoods, has been featured in countless memes and TikToks, and remains a hot ticket — it went back on sale in April and promptly sold out.
