New Scary Head Replacement for the Standard 12 ft Home Depot Skeleton

[@jayandvalingaround6818]

That is a great upgrade and the sculpt is way more terrifying. Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@ScareDad]

I agree, the new sculpt is scary and way more detailed. Very cool add-on piece to a classic.

[@cindydavis1443]

What a great idea by HD! The price point seems reasonable too!

[@ScareDad]

I love that they are keeping this older prop fresh. It's a cool look, and I agree, the price isn't bad at all.

[@DwayneFuhlhage]

I love the original, but mixing things up during Spooky Season would be fun

[@ScareDad]

I agree, the original is great, and I will probably switch them out every so often (I can reach his head from my deck.) I am just glad they are giving us the option to upgrade him with some new tech.

[@chrisf7015]

Is there a link to buy yet? I can't find it on HD site.

[@HalloweenDan]

This head sculpt is insane! Love the sharpened teeth and glowing mouth! If I had an original skelly, I’d be buying this for sure! Great video bud 💀👻🎃

[@ScareDad]

I do love this sculpt. At $80, my mind was pondering if I should buy this or not, and while it was distracted my body clicked buy. So it should be coming next week!

[@funfacescharacterrentals9053]

We have one and upon arrival & opening it...we're in ❤ ❤

[@ScareDad]

I picked one up too but haven't opened mine yet. Such a cool idea to upgrade our skeletons. Glad to hear you love yours!

[@paulstorey5948]

Yes get it

[@ScareDad]

I got it! I just haven't opened it up and put it on yet. Not sure what I am waiting for, we are in spooky season now. Glad you like the new head and thanks for watching!

[@stevetb7777]

This thing is 50% off now but will likely hit 75% off due to the large inventory.

[@ScareDad]

Definitely worth it at the discounted price. If it goes to 75%, it won't be for long, so keep checking. Thanks for watching!

[@chrisg2419]

I prefer the new one over the original.

[@ScareDad]

The original is a classic, but this version has such a great sculpt and exudes the spooky feeling of Halloween. I love the new look!

[@RUBV]

if you open the new scary head and transfer the servo part of skully to it work great

[@ScareDad]

Awesome, that's good to know! Weird that they don't advertise that you can do that. Maybe next year I will upgrade to the Servo Skelly. Thanks for sharing!

[@tylerandtony2]

@Scare Dad I have this head, but I can't figure out how to keep the eyes on at all times. The way my Skully faces, no motion is in front of it. I know there are two buttons under the pelvis, but neither one will keep the eyes on constant.

[@ScareDad]

I don't have the 12 ft skeleton with the sensor, but on the HD website I found this. "Yes, there is a way to keep the eyes on at all times. Sounds like the cables need to be readjusted. Make sure to connect the black cables by the neck to each other. The red cable is supposed to be the sensor reliant cable. If you are still experiencing issues, you can email me for an image guide. [e-mail]" Hopefully that helps you and if not, try emailing the customer service rep and see if they can help. Thanks for watching!

[@MOTIVATEDLIVING]

Great video. Could you please tell me how I can use this head without owning the 12 foot skeleton? I bought the head to display on my shelf and cannot figure how to power it

[@ScareDad]

I tried using a 6 volt 2 amp power supply with a female to female adapter and it worked just fine. I also tried a 6 volt 5 amp power supply to see if it made a difference, it did not. So I would say the 6 v 2 amp power supply and the female to female adapter and you should be good. Thanks for watching!

[@MOTIVATEDLIVING]

​@ScareDad Thank you. I ended up scrolling the comments (after I asked 🙄) and saw where you had answered someone else. I have the power supply now, just need to get the female to female. Thank you

[@JoshGraham2]

I bought this head but when i tried t put it on my inferno pumpkin skeleton it inly seems to go on at a 90 degree angle and cant face forward. I cant change the mounting brackets on either the body or the head because the body has 3 notices and the head 2.

[@ScareDad]

I have seen some people 3-D print parts for these, I wonder if someone could print you a piece that would work. Unfortunately I don't have the Inferno Pumpkin Skeleton, so I can't look at it to try and help you with this. I hope you can find a solution for it.

[@Munz_is_at_your_house]

You should make a vid on the 6ft LED reaper! He was kinda secretly released, was found on the website only an hour before release (4:00am CST) and not a lot of ppl know about him! I bought him!

[@ScareDad]

I think he is a pretty cool budget prop. Actually, maybe I will do video on all the budget animatronics (under $200.) Thanks for the great idea!

[@willieloomis5958]

It's cool, but I think I'm just going to get one of those $30 eye kits. I wish there was a kit to add servo movement to the original skelly.

[@ScareDad]

Not sure if this got mentioned last night (still very tired), but if you are willing to mess around with your skelly head, there are tutorials online on how to give him servo movement. Thanks for hanging out last night, it was fun!

[@Rhavynne]

does anyone know what is needed to make this head work stand alone

[@hughholtz6632]

You need a female to female adapter, and a 12v power supply

[@ScareDad]

Sorry for the delay on this, I wanted to try it out in person before answering. I just got this scary head out of the box and using a 6v 2 amp power supply and a female to female adapter, it worked just fine. Since it worked with the 6v, I did not try raising the voltage. I did also try a 6v 5amp power supply, and I noticed no difference between the two. Hope that helps.

[@ScareDad]

Thanks for giving an answer to this question. Have you tried it with the 12v power supply? I used 6v and it seemed to work just fine, so I didn't try the 12v. Curious if the 12 would make a difference, but didn't want to supply too much power. I appreciate you watching and leaving the comment!

[@Rhavynne]

@@ScareDad I am very very new at this, wasnt sure where to get a female to female adapter,ordered on amazon and wont be here til 10/30,boxed stores had no idea what i was referring to, also where do you purchase a 6v 5amp power supply

[@ScareDad]

@@Rhavynne I got my power supply from Amazon as well. amzn.to/4dO8sLL This is the 6v 5amp power supply I usually use. Like I said before though, you could probably get away with a cheaper 6v 2mp power adapter, it seemed to work just as well for me. Do you have Amazon prime? If so I would think you could get a female to female adapter much quicker than October 30th. Usually stuff from Amazon arrives on time or earlier, so if you just need it for Halloween you should be fine. Let me know how it goes for you.

[@alannorthcarolina1776]

Any idea what it takes to run these eyes on their own? Voltage input, amps, watts?

[@ScareDad]

I was able to run mine with a 6V 2Amp power supply and a female to female connector. Tried upping the amps to 5 (just because I had that power supply too) but it made no difference. Hope that helps.

[@coolshadesdaddy]

Would have been amazing but turned out to be an epic fail. The scary head is way darker than the OG not matching the body at all. Not sure how Home Depot messed up that bad but no way I buy this upgrade until the paint is corrected.

[@ScareDad]

The paint does look darker in the videos. I did pick this up but did not open it yet, so when I do my video review I will let you know if it looks really off in person. If it does I will probably just paint mine, but it is kind of silly if we have to just to make it look right. The color should be the easiest part to get correct.
