Behind them on his porch, Lee created a scene reminiscent of the Kellerman resort's end-of-summer talent show complete with curtains, string lights and a disco ball.

\"I love creating something that I've never seen before,\" Lee said.

Not to be forgotten, two gravestones jut out from behind the ghoulish couple, sporting epitaphs that read \"Had the time of my life\" and \"Nobody puts baby in the ground.\"

Lee said he came up with the idea in August and took three days off in September to set up the scene.

Decorating his yard with shockingly athletic skeletons has become a tradition for Lee and his wife. Last year, his lawn hosted a skeleton yoga session complete with a skeleton emerging from the ground because it was running a little too late for class.

The year before, he covered his lawn with breakdancing, beatboxing skeletons.

However, he offers advice to the brave souls who might want to try their hand at posing skeletons in their yards for Halloween.

\"[The skeletons] do not move the way you want them to move,\" Lee joked.

Although his current plans for next year's Halloween skeleton set-up are a secret, he is already thinking big to top this year's design.
