b"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 dark humor, the kind that made Skelly a massive star.\\n\\nBecome a Patron or subscribe on Apple Podcasts to support our show and get early ad-free episodes and bonus content\\nTell us your teenage tale on our Urban Legends Hotline!\\n\\nGet your tickets for our live show with You're Wrong About\\n\\nAmerican Hysteria is written, produced, and hosted by Chelsey Weber-Smith\\nSound design by Clear Commo Studios\\nResearch Assistant: Riley Swedelius-Smith\\nProducer and Editor: Miranda Zickler\\nVoice Acting by Will Rogers\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
