Spooky season is nearly upon us and scary folks everywhere are just itching to whip out their 12-foot skeletons and decorate their house for the Halloween festivities. For most, Halloween is a goofy holiday that makes fun of macabre and brings spooky nostalgia back into all of our lives, which is the exact reason that Home Depot even made those $300 skellies in the first place! The silly, enormous skeletons have swept the Internet and stolen the hearts of many, except for one neighborhood Karen in particular.

In this story, a regular lady (a Halloween-y aficionado) was scorned by a neighborhood Karen for her goofy skeleton decor and nearly bullied into tearing it down. Why? Because a youngster was afraid of walking by the skeleton on his way to school. Perhaps the Karen and the boy could walk down a different street, because there was absolutely no chance that this woman, who had been excited for months to erect the behemoth skeleton, would take it down before Halloween.
