Home Depot's 12 ft. Skeleton decoration first premiered in the fall of 2020 and sold out immediately, the nationwide obsession fueling an underground black market. Memes and tweets made 'Skelly' the hottest Halloween fad of the last three years, and for some reason, the internet's biggest crush. For this episode, we will not only explore how the craze around this big old bone daddy unfolded, but we will also take you through our centuries-long bizarro relationship with human skeletons, both the fake and the very real, and we will consider the role they have played in the development of the kind of dark humor that made Skelly a massive star.<a href="https://www.patreon.com/americanhysteria">Become a Patron</a> or subscribe on Apple Podcasts to support our show and get early ad-free episodes and bonus contentTell us your teenage tale on our <a href="https://www.chelseywebersmith.com/urban-legends-hotline">Urban Legends Hotline</a>!<a href="https://linktr.ee/americanhysteria">Get your tickets</a> for our live show with You're Wrong AboutAmerican Hysteria is written, produced, and hosted by Chelsey Weber-SmithSound design by <a href="https://clearcommo.com/">Clear Commo Studios</a>Research Assistant: Riley Swedelius-SmithProducer and Editor: <a href="https://linktr.ee/mirandatheswampmonster">Miranda Zickler</a>Voice Acting by <a href="https://www.talkbomb.com/">Will Rogers</a> Learn more about your ad choices.
