Amazon Prime Day is coming up and with it comes all kinds of unexpected deals. If you love The Nightmare Before Christmas and want a new smart home accessory, you’ll get a kick out of this Echo Dot and Jack Skellington shell bundle deal. This adorable shell design is just in time for spooky season and perfect for Disney fans who enjoy collectibles. Amazon’s bundle includes the fifth-gen Echo Dot and the limited edition Jack Skellington shell. It’ll be available on October 24 and if you preorder now, you can score the Echo Dot bundle at a 30% discount. That drops the price from $90 to just $63 and saves you $27.

The fifth-gen Echo Dot is the best budget smart speaker on the market and is our 2024 Editors’ Choice Award winner. It offers solid sound quality and vocal clarity as well as powerful mics so you can be heard from a distance away, plus with Alexa and other features it’s a great option. And because of its size, it’s well suited for placing on a side table in your entertainment space or on a nightstand.

You can choose between the Charcoal, Deep Sea Blue and Glacier White color variants with this bundle deal, but if you already have a fourth- or fifth-gen Echo Dot and you don’t want to add another smart speaker to your collection, you can just buy the shell for $40. This item will be released on Oct. 8, giving you plenty of time to incorporate it into your Halloween decor. It also makes a great gift if you’re getting a head start on your holiday shopping.
