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.

Behind the music - NOFUN!
LA-based band NOFUN! play the Workmans Club, Dublin on 29 August, Electric Picnic in Stradbally, Co Laois on 30 August, and Custom House Square, Belfast on 31 August. We asked them the BIG questions . . . Formed in California in 2022, NOFUN! is a 10-member collective blending live performance, production, and visual art. As both a band and a label, they operate as a DIY powerhouse. "This tour represents everything we've worked for," the band say. "From arenas to basements, we're bringing this show to every type of stage we can - and we're not leaving anything behind." Tell us three things about yourself . . . We are a ten-person collective all from different places but based in Los Angeles. NOFUN!'s birthday is on Halloween. The name was picked because we noticed a lack of support for artists and shows in Los Angeles and most people have "no fun," so it is an homage to the people who show up to have a good time. How would you describe your music? Our music is an amalgamation of each member's musical style- ranging from Hip-Hop, R&B, Rock, Punk, and Pop. To put it simply, NOFUN!'s music is an alternative cross pollination of punk rock and hip hop. What are your musical influences? Each other! We are all artists and constantly inspire each other to make the best music we can. We push each other regardless of our genre. Every member creates and releases under their own artist project to be used to check out each member's music. What was the first gig you ever attended? The first show we ever went to as a group was a show we put on in 2021 in a backyard which also happened to be the catalyst that started NOFUN!. What was supposed to be a small show for local Los Angeles artists to support each other quickly turned into a full on festival - with over 300 people piling into our friends east Los Angeles backyard. This partying, music, and community is a perfect example of what it means to be NOFUN! and we held that with us throughout our group's musical journey. What was the first record you ever bought? We all have different answers to the first record we've ever bought but the first song purchase we made as a group was in support of our own and very first song SPEND IT, which was recorded in Garrett Gloom's garage. What is your favourite song right now? Our favourite song right now is 8-Mile as it is a crowd favourite! Favourite lyric of all time? It's pretty obvious when a particular lyric resonates with the group. Usually due to some sort of comedic element. Right now, the lyric that brings us the most joy is from Motha Wata's verse in our song Riot, which goes as follows "I'm just drinking out the bottle till I have to p***" If you could only listen to one song for the rest of your life, what would it be? Pop My S*** by Cloudy Nueve. Where can we find more of your information and music? You can find our music at NOFUN! on every platform as well as socials Instagram: @nofunla and TikTok: nofunworldwide.

BBC offer Strictly cocaine duo rehab stint after claim pair took drug on show as bosses consider random tests
BBC bosses are set to offer two Strictly stars at the centre of a drugs storm the chance to attend rehab. It comes amid claims it was widely known they took cocaine on the show. 1 A celebrity claimed it was 'well known on the show that two stars took cocaine' Credit: Alamy Execs are also considering adding random drugs tests on next year's Strictly tour — where after-parties are known for wild scenes. In the latest scandal to hit the flagship BBC show, The Sun on Sunday revealed that the BBC had been forced to launch an investigation using external lawyers to look into allegations of drug use. A celebrity claimed it was 'well known on the show that two stars took cocaine'. And one star allegedly said to another, about a third: 'Have you seen their pupils . . . they're off their face.' Last night a source said: 'The BBC is taking the allegations really seriously. "Bosses are aware of the two stars in question and have a duty of care to make sure they're OK. 'As per BBC policy, the option of specialised professional support is on the table and will be offered.' They added: 'While drug testing won't happen on the main show, bosses are considering bringing in random checks for the tour next year. 'The BBC needs to be sure nothing illegal is going on. 'It all depends on what the investigation finds.' A BBC source said: 'Welfare is paramount for bosses.'
