The term denotes a specific size and source for a popular Halloween decoration. It refers to a skeletal figure, measuring approximately three feet in height, that is often purchased from a well-known home improvement retail chain. Such decorations are typically made of plastic and designed for indoor or outdoor display.
The appeal of these decorations lies in their affordability, ease of acquisition, and ability to contribute to a festive atmosphere during the Halloween season. Their presence in residential and commercial spaces reflects a broader cultural interest in the holiday and the associated themes of the macabre and playful.
