There's a house in the subdivision next to mine with one that I have estimated at 12' tall.

Truly, our nation is lost in Satan's thrall.

At Christmas, 12 feet at the local mall,

Dude moved in nearby last year right after Halloween. He had a magnetized (I guess) skeleton on his truck. He would move it around to different areas of the truck every couple days.

I thought it was a Halloween thing and he would eventually put it away. Hell no. It’s been on there ever since. He’s committed. Or maybe needs to be.

Not sure, but there is a guy near us that has been displaying skeletons in his yard for about 6-7 years and he puts them in various costumes and poses a few times a week. Maybe people are copying him.

I saw a skeleton strapped to the front of a truck with what looked like an empty beer can in its hand while leaving the polling place Saturday. Says a lot about SE Louisiana.

Neighbors had some in the front yard last year sitting around a table playing poker. This year they have them paying cornhole and one pole dancing on there light by the driveway

I'm 57 years old and skeletons have been a part of Halloween all my life. I don't know where you live.

Wife has 4 or 5 running across the yard being chased by 2 skeleton dogs, it’s cool. What ain’t cool is the 200 little pumpkins and squash, and corn stalks.

Agreed. As a child we had a cardboard skeleton that was displayed on our front door that we could position in 2D as waving or dancing, along with window suction cup “melted popcorn” spiders and ghosts, and pumpkin leaf bags under our trees signaling harvest.

But the new “Skeleton in the Yard/truck/car/Jeep” has been taken to another level over the last year, you’d have to admit.

How about those $300 velvet skeletons everyone is pimping? Subtle brags, I guess.

People have fun with it. Let them enjoy it. Other wise there's nothing to decorate for
