Halloween is absolutely nowhere near, but the internet's favorite spooky outdoor decor is already back in stock at Home Depot. At this point, the classic 12-foot Home Depot skeleton and his creepy LCD LifeEyes™ are honorary Mashable mascots, and we love them so much that we just might go out and buy Halloween decor in the middle of June.

In a suspenseful tweet on June 15, Home Depot alluded to a big drop, and confirmed on June 16 that both the original skeleton and his "spicy" pumpkin brother, the Inferno Pumpkin skeleton, are back in stock.

Sure, it's a few months out from Halloween, but Home Depot's giant decor is known to sell out fast, so you'd do best to prepare early. Do you need a 12-foot skeleton? Probably not. Do we have any idea where you would store it? Also, no, but we don't recommend storing your skeletons in your closet.

If worse comes to worst, you could always bring Skelly or his Inferno Pumpkin brother home and dress them up for every yearly holiday. We're sure these two giant bros and their LifeEyes™ would love to keep watch over your front yard for eternity.

Scoop up the original 12-foot skeleton at Home Depot for $299, or level up your holiday decor with the fiery Inferno Pumpkin skeleton for $349. Both Skeleton buddies were in stock at the time of writing, so bring your new tall king home while supplies last.
