A resident from Ohio has gone viral for building a giant skeleton that’s seemingly breaking out of his home

For starters, it features two massive skeleton arms extending outwards, creating the illusion that they’ve broken away from the ground. One hand grabs the house by the roof, as though it’s ready to turn the property upside down. Meanwhile, the other hand holds a 12-foot skeleton that Perkins borrowed from a neighbor. In case you’re wondering, yes, it’s the same piece from Home Depot that went viral last year.

Overall, it took Perkins 25 days to build the colossal skeleton from scratch. He used foams block which he bought from Craigslist five years ago and meticulously carved them into bones. He also used PVC armature for support and stability. Finally, he hard coated the pieces with sand and glue and reinforced them with sealant for waterproofing. As for the final touch, he revealed that he’s also planning to add a skull that’s breaking through the roof.

Meanwhile, other exceptionally eerie details of the house include a huge spider crawling across the boarded-up window and another skeleton climbing up the roof. There’s also a sign that reads “Haunt of the Falls” near the entrance, coupled with enormous spider webs throughout the front yard.
