Bring the Dead Back to Life in Your Garden
Terrify trick-or-treaters with the Skeleton Ground-Breaking Halloween Decoration. This 5-piece set includes a skull with glowing LED eyes, two arms, and two legs — all designed to look like a skeleton clawing its way out of the ground. The realistic effect is guaranteed to give your outdoor setup an extra dose of fright.
Each piece is made from durable plastic and comes with 5 ground stakes for easy installation. Simply push them into soil, gravel, or lawn to create a chilling scene of the undead rising from below. With arms measuring 43cm and legs 69cm, this skeleton is life-sized enough to make passers-by double take.
The LED eyes in the skull add eerie night-time glow, making the display even more effective after dark.

Why We Like This Product (YPC Team Review)
