Best colorful
Our Hip sidekick, Emily, added a pop of color to her Halloween setup with these 3-foot skeletons. They come in neon pink, neon green, or white. These hanging, posable skeletons are especially fun if you’re planning a fun setup like Emily’s DJ booth or have a spooky party that needs to vibe with the decor.
4. The best giant dog can be found at Walmart.
Best animal
Way to Celebrate Animated Skeleton Dog – $119 shipped
Note: consider buying in-store or opting for in-store pickup, as reviews mention possible damage during shipping.
This giant animated dog features glowing eyes, spooky sounds, and plenty of personality. These bone-chilling companions are perfect for guarding your candy bowl! Note that a handful of reviewers stated that it arrived broken, so we recommend doing store pick-up if possible.
If you are more into cats, Walmart has a giant animated cat, too!
See this giant dog in action over on our Instagram.
Looking for a smaller animal? Score a Dachshund or cat skeleton at Target for just $18.
