We do know where two of the giant graveyard friends ended up, and if you decide to go trick-or-treating at Kourtney Kardashian’s Los Angeles home this year, you may see them for yourself, as the reality TV star decorated her front yard with them in 2021. Somehow, she got her hands on a pair of the spooky siblings, in an Instagram post.
Should you be reading this and the skeleton is, in fact, sold out again, no fear; there are also more spooky surprises in store, especially for Disney fans.
