Since the 2010s, the song has received a resurgence in popularity online as an Internet meme. In 2013, The Living Tombstone created a dubstep remix of the song. In 2019, Intelligencer's Brian Feldman called the song "the Internet's Halloween anthem", and that same year, Rolling Stone's E. J. Dickson referred to the song as the "Halloween meme" of Generation Z. In 2021, Alexandra Petri of The Washington Post ranked the song number two on her list of the 50 best Halloween songs of all time. “Spooky, Scary Skeletons” was adapted into a children's picture book by Random House Children's Books featuring the lyrics to the song on August 27, 2024.
