And they've been pleading with retail workers to find out what frightful ranges we can expect for 2025.
Posting on the Home Bargains Appreciation Society Facebook group, which boasts 180,000 members, one hopeful person asked: "Soooooo any HB staff want to anonymously tell us what the Halloween theme will be this year……."
Their Halloween wish was quickly granted as an anonymous employee was quick to oblige.
They revealed: "It's been released onto [our internal retail network] .. a lot of very happy Tim Burton fans is all I can say....ghost cowgirl too."
The same member of staff later confirmed the movie in question is The Nightmare Before Christmas and gave shoppers a sneak peek at the inventory list.
The Tim Burton movie, which was released in 1993, tells the story of Jack Skellington, the pumpkin king who rules over Halloweentown.
But he becomes jaded with spooky season and kidnaps Santa in a bid to bring some festive cheer, to disastrous consequences.
Now Jack and his pals, like Sally and Zero the ghost dog are set to be filling the shelves at Home Bargains in the months to come.
The Halloween range will have everything from decorations and kitchenware to clothing and homeware.
Fans of the cult flick will be able to pick up tiered pumpkins, string lights and a shadow light projector.

For outdoors, you can fill your garden with a Jack Skellington inflatable and stake lights.
There will also be kids and adult hooded blankets up for grabs as well as plush pyjamas for all ages and slippers.
To give your home a Nightmare Before Christmas makeover, you can even bag dinner plates and bowls, duvet sets, a Jack cushion and printed throw.
But you'll need to wait until the Halloween range hits the shelves for prices.
Impressed by the Nightmare Before Christmas news, one shopper gushed: "Oh I'm here for this."
But another was stunned by the revelation, and wrote: "Only management team are meant to know at this point & are told not to tell anyone, even family members. There are some early items out atm though."
Meanwhile, another Home Bargains employee said: "Yeah I just see the PDF file…look fun this year."
