A Halloween fence with skulls on it.

Skull Halloween Fence

A Halloween themed fence is a really fun addition to your Halloween decorations. It’s a great way to set your lawn apart.

And if you’re going for a skeleton theme, there’s nothing better than a skull Halloween fence. Giant skulls on top, however, are optional.

Skeleton Dish Towels

If you follow Drugstore Divas on Instagram, you know I love to change our kitchen towels with every holiday and season. So you know my skeleton decorations list wouldn’t be complete without skeleton dish towels.

The one above is actually one I own and put up every year, but there are so many to choose from.

7-Foot Long Dog Skeleton

We’ve all see the giant skeletons, but, let me raise you one you may have not seen: a 7-foot long dog skeleton.

It’s so much much. You can actually buy a giant chain and have your giant skeleton walking his giant dog. Your neighbors will love it (just as much as I loved it when a neighbor did it here).

A black skeleton with wings sitting on a roof.

Demon Skeleton

Home Depot set the Halloween world on fire last year when it released its new and improved demon skeleton decorations (which were a big improvement on the ones from years before).

They’re dark skeletons with posable wings, which make them a fun addition to your Halloween display.

Skeleton Garage Door Cover

If you want to stay on the skeleton theme, but you’d rather have a decoration that’s a lot easier to store all year, this skeleton garage door cover is for you.

It’s just fabric or plastic that you hang over your garage door. You can choose from a ton of different skeleton themed ones. Then, when Spooky Season is over, just take it down, fold it up, and store it until next year.

A mermaid-shaped skeleton with a blue and purple wig on a lawn, surrounded by blue lights.

Mermaid Skeleton Decoration

I never thought about what a mermaid’s skeletons looks like. So that’s what I was so surprised to see these Mermaid Skeleton Decorations and see bones throughout the tail.

Makes sense. And it especially makes sense as a decoration. If it was just a skeleton torso, well, that would look weird on a shelf.

This set comes with two posable mermaid skeletons, so you can turn them into a fun scene.

Animal Skeletons

One of my favorite social media posts from a few years ago was a ton of animal skeletons behind a fence with a sign that said “Dead Petting Zoo.” One of our neighbors must have seen the same thing because they set it up exactly like I saw online.

You need to purchase a bunch of animal skeletons, then put them behind a small fence and have skeletons petting them. It’s perfect.

A pile of skulls Halloween decoration.

Pile Of Skulls Decoration

This pile of skulls decoration is a really fun addition to your lawn. You can find a few types, some which are just skulls and others that have extra bones with them.

Add some lights under it for a really fun effect.

A giant 12-foot skeleton surround by tombstones and smaller skeletons in New York Jets jerseys.

12-Foot Skeleton

Those giant, 12-foot skeletons got so popular a few years ago. I love driving by homes to see them.

Well, except the home that used one to say RIP to the New York Jets’ post season hopes. I mean, the sign wasn’t wrong, but it broke my Jets fan heart.

DIY Card Stock Skeleton.

DIY Card Stock Skeleton

This DIY Card Stock Skeleton, as you can guess, is the one I made. It actually held up really well and I’ve been decorating with it every year since.
