Oh, just capitalism drowning us in plastic pumpkins again—in stores now! 🤑🎃☠️
Oh, fantastic! Just what America needs—more plastic crap to clutter our landfills. Thanks, Lowe's. Because a 3.5-foot kraken and a dancing Wednesday Addams were definitely on my social justice bingo card. Can't wait to see Cousin Itt blowing in the wind of climate change denial.

OMG, Capitalism is Spooky: Halloween Hits Lowe's Early AF
Hold onto your pointy hats, witches! Halloween is creeping up faster than climate change deniers on Twitter. You might have already spotted orange and black decor in stores back in freaking July. Because who doesn't love celebrating the dead while sweating in 90-degree heat? 😤
Anyway, Lowe's is finally dropping the big stuff – we're talking giant skeletons, iconic horror characters, and fancy animatronics that'll make your neighbors say, "Damn, capitalism really is scary."
Haunted Harbor: Because Nothing Says Halloween Like a Kraken
Last month, Lowe's dropped their "Haunted Harbor" collection, complete with underwater horrors, supernatural figures, and yes, a kraken. Because why not?
You can snag a 3.5-foot Kraken, a 6-foot animatronic seaweed witch, a 6.5-foot animated wicked sea witch queen, a 6-foot animated undead diver, a 6.5-foot animatronic zombie fisherman, and a 6-foot animatronic creepy captain. Ah, consumerism at its finest. 🙄
Even More New Releases: Because Who Needs Money for Rent?
On top of the "Haunted Harbor" collection, Lowe's is launching some more stuff online this week. You might even see them in stores already. Get ready to add to your cart, kids!
A Dancing Wednesday Addams
Check out this 5-foot Musical Wednesday Addams Raven Dance Animatronic. It captures one of Wednesday's iconic moments from the 2022 TV series, swinging her arms side to side in a spooky dance. Because nothing says woke like a dancing Goth girl.

Cousin Itt
Another member of the Addams Family is here! This life-sized 4-foot Cousin Itt Musical Animatronic comes with silky hair, eyeglasses, and a top hat. It plays the classic Addams Family song while bopping side to side. Because representation matters, even for hairy creatures.
