#halloween-decorations

At least a dozen times during the month of September, my husband and I are stopped by neighbors asking the following question: "When are you putting up the Halloween decorations?" We've lived in our suburban home in a college town since 2009, and although we started with just one Halloween inflatable decoration (a pumpkin Pac-Man and three ghosts, all still going strong), we've been amassing more and more decorations every year, until finally we became what neighbors have nicknamed the "Halloween House."

This year, that changed for us. When I spotted Ultra Skelly at The Home Depot's spring preview, I was intrigued. What Is the Ultra Skelly with LifeEyes? Standing at a relatively manageable 6.5 feet tall, Ultra Skelly is a new, animated, and app-controlled version of the original Skelly designed specifically for smaller yards, porches, and patios. It has all the personality of the original, just condensed - and I mean that in the best way.

Security camera footage from a neighbor shows, on Sunday at 5 a.m., a person dressed in a gray hoodie and pants walking briskly down an alley while carrying the elongated 48-pound Halloween decoration horizontally, its bony fingers stretching toward the sky. The video footage, reviewed by The Times, shows the man head toward a black four-door vehicle and place the decoration on top of it.
