It might still be warm out, but at Home Depot — it’s already spooky season.
Home Depot is known for its massive Halloween decorations — hello, Skelly the 12-foot skeleton sculpture — but this time it’s a bucket that is making people lose their minds.
Home Depot has released a limited-edition Homer Bucket, which is a two-gallon orange bucket that features illustrations of jack-o’-lanterns, bats, ghosts, spiders and spiderwebs, sold for $2.98 each and available in-store only.
Shockingly, people can’t get enough of this simple collectible.
“Girlies, run to the Home Depot,” one TikTok video with 1.7 million views said.
One woman shared that her husband came home from Home Depot with three of the buckets for their children.
“Adult Halloween buckets!! Yess i need one for my candy while we’re out taking our littles trick or treating, I get candy too,” a user admitted.
“I need one, idk for what but I need it,” chimed in someone else.
The user also shared that these could be used for “boo baskets” for your partner or significant other and fill them up with all of their favorite things.
“These buckets last a really long time from Home Depot,” she added. “You could utilize it for all kinds of things, even for passing out your own candy.”
“As the season gets closer, we’re not surprised that the new Halloween version of our iconic orange Homer Bucket is gaining popularity with customers across TikTok and other online platforms,” Home Depot Merchandising Vice President Chris Waits told USA TODAY.
While some Halloween lovers are going bananas for these coveted orange buckets — others are making a fortune from decorating people’s homes for the holiday.
41-year-old Heather Torres is a stay-at-home mom in Dallas, Texas, who decorates front porches of homes for the change in season.
She started her side gig five years ago after neighbors complimented her own home’s Halloween decorations.
“When we started, I was doing two or three porches a day. Yesterday I did 89 porches alone,” she told SWNS.
Torres starts taking orders in July and charges clients anywhere from $325 to $1,350.
“The way I create displays for my clients is I showcase the beautiful specialty pumpkins in the front and those are the pumpkins that have all the colors: pink porcelain doll pumpkins, gray jaradelle pumpkins, red Cinderella pumpkins, and white Cinderella pumpkins,” she told Fox News Digital.
