Party City, the global celebrations leader, is gearing up for a spooky season.

This year, the retailer has recognized the growing consumer trend of wanting spookier, gorier and overall scarier celebrations, and Party City is delivering just that through new exclusive products and partnerships.

“At Party City, we’re all about gore and more this Halloween,” said Odette Welling, Vice President of Halloween at Party City. “We are Halloween and customer-obsessed and after speaking with and surveying shoppers one thing was clear; this year people are looking for startling, scary, eye-catching and unique items that will add a terrifying touch to festivities. From the minute shoppers’ step foot inside of a Party City or Halloween City store, their craving for fright will be fulfilled. We are here to help inspire our customers to create the Halloween look of their dreams, with our
limitless variety of Halloween essentials.”
