The giant skeleton has also received a whole lot of love on Twitter, with one user declaring that the decoration was "the only good thing to collectively happen to us this year. I love him."

When reached for comment, a rep for the Home Depot shared the following statement on the item’s viral popularity:
“I can’t think of a better time to bring a product to the market that would cause a collective smile for so many people,” said Lance Allen, decorative holiday merchant for the home improvement store. “We knew the 12-foot skeleton was going to be a favorite of our customers, but we never could have fathomed this level of excitement that it would create in such a short time.”
“It’s not even October yet!”
