Lowe’s Worker’s Dancing Skeleton Design Becomes Halloween Hit Across America

A dancing skeleton that senses motion has skyrocketed to the top of Lowe's Halloween sales charts in 2025. Standing three feet tall, this moving display named "The Party Skeleton" flashes with bright ribs, eyes, and feet while showing off its purple and orange decor.

"It's been one of the highlights of my career," said Amanual Coleman, 35, according to The Charlotte Observer. "People took time to not only make it but people want to buy it. That's really humbling."

When plugged into its 10-foot cord, this indoor attraction springs to life. The skeleton bops to beats through its headphones, while 640 LED lights flash in different colors. Since August, customers have rushed to snag one at $99.98.

Back in 2023, Coleman sketched this idea among dozens of others. His dancing skeleton stood out from more than 70 concepts, striking just the right mix of spooky and fun that matched what the store wanted.

The project caught the attention of ClayVon Lowe, who leads product design at the company. Coleman spent over a week sketching and planning, working out how the skeleton would move and what special features it needed.

"I kind of learned as I went," Coleman said.

Ten years ago, Coleman started as a cashier at a Concord store. By 2015, he moved to the Troutman design center as a merchandising coordinator. While he wasn't hired to design products, his art skills and game design degree from Living Arts College caught his managers' eyes.

Coleman first spotted his creation in stores while shopping with his family. His eyes lit up watching shoppers dance alongside it. "So many people were looking at it and dancing with it," he beamed.

The retail chain runs 1,753 locations nationwide. Around Charlotte, 11,000 people work for Lowe's, with 5,000 in office roles.
