Halloween is over three months away, but displays are up at this Maine store.

The funny part about finding a huge Halloween display during a Maine heatwave is who found the display: Mr. Halloween himself, Peter Geiger.

Why is Peter Geiger 'Mr. Halloween' in Maine?

Peter, who works as an editor for The Farmers' Almanac, LOVES Halloween. He turns Geiger Industries into a playground for kids with thousands (not a typo) of candy bars to hand out!

Above is a picture of the thousands of candy bars (around 20 different selections) that Peter had for kids last year. Peter hadn't started buying his supply of candy when he came across a Halloween display at Lowe's in Auburn, which made even him pause. He was wondering who would drop $400 for a large and scary display (spoiler alert: the answer is Peter Geiger).

Where in Maine can I buy Halloween decorations in July?

Lowe's in Auburn seems to be getting into the giant Halloween display wars. Home Depot started it a few years ago, with giant $800 skeletons that sold out before you could say BOO! For a mere $484, you can own this nine-foot zombie that climbs a ladder to your home.

Are you a Halloween nut? Would you consider dropping hundreds of dollars on a Halloween decoration for your home? But more importantly, would you buy said decoration while you are sweating bullets in a heat wave (you know, because it's JULY)!?

LOOK: How Halloween has changed in the past 100 years

Stacker compiled a list of ways that Halloween has changed over the last 100 years, from how we celebrate it on the day to the costumes we wear trick-or-treating. We’ve included events, inventions, and trends that changed the ways that Halloween was celebrated over time. Many of these traditions were phased out over time. But just like fake blood in a carpet, every bit of Halloween’s history left an impression we can see traces of today.
