Get into the spirit with Lowe’s’ one-stop shop for Halloween

We know. Charlotte's summer is still in full swing. Hello, 90° weather!

Okay, but: Halloween enthusiasts are already dreaming of crisp, spooky October nights — and Lowe's is on the same page.

• That's why the Fortune 50 company started pulling Halloween merch out of its bubbling cauldron as early as June, with even more tricks and treats available online and in-store starting Aug. 26.

Why it's important: "Halloween" has amassed 3.4 million searches this month alone — and Lowe's has a haunted lineup filled with both eerie and family-friendly offerings that include trendy, in-demand decor. 👻

• That means you can get a head start on evoking fun and fright with ghostly graveyards, deep sea haunts, themed ghouls and other chilling collections that'll make your house the ultimate neighborhood thrill.
• If scare and gore aren't your style, Lowe's also has happier haunts with its Disney-themed decor, in addition to its cozy and charming items fit for any fall aesthetic.

What to expect: Dark color palettes and moody, mysterious decor with luxe gothic and 90s influence.

🎃 Haunted Harbor Collection

Cloak your house with inspiration from the perils of the unexplored deep sea, like sea witches and hags, zombie fishermen, undead divers — and even the Kraken itself.

🪦 Wednesday Collection

Since its premiere, fans have fallen for "Wednesday" and the show's sarcastic, supernatural spookiness.

Lowe's is bringing the story to life in a new way this Halloween with a collection of animatronics, including Wednesday Addams herself, Cousin Itt, Joseph Crackstone and other undead relics from Nevermore Academy.

👻 Haunted Mansion Collection

Plus, plus, plus: A spell for spooktacular decor

Although Halloween is still a few weeks away, the trends are clear: Goth is in.

• Create the look with feathers, metallic finishes, faux pampas, beads, velvet, black florals and more — and elevate mantels, tablescapes, living spaces and entryways with throw pillows, festive wreaths or moody garlands.
