Party City Reveals 2023 Halloween Animatronics
Party City and Halloween City officially revealed their entire 2023 lineup of new animatronics today, just hours before Spirit Halloween’s flagship store grand opening.
The 2023 lineup from Party City is headlined by the third of three new life-size Leatherface animatronics, all officially licensed from the 1974 original Texas Chain Saw Massacre movie. Standing at six feet tall, this one is produced by Tekky and features the killer wearing his bloodied apron and tie, with his main “Killing” mask. His audio includes Leatherface grunts and grounds, and the sound of the chainsaw revving up, with his arms rapidly raising and lowering this chainsaw. Priced at $325, he will be available to order online here.
From today’s press release: Party City, the global celebrations leader, is preparing for the scariest Halloween to date by giving enthusiasts a preview of its exclusive animatronics collection. From a larger-than-life haunted, evil spirit, to a scarecrow with demon red eyes, Party City has what you need to be the scariest house on the block this year.
The Halloween season is just around the corner, and Party City is delighted to offer customers a spine-chilling preview of the most horrifying decorations ever seen. According to Numerator’s 2022 Holiday Preview Report, Halloween is the second most popular holiday for which consumers purchase décor, behind Christmas.
“We are so excited to reveal our scariest, spookiest line of animatronics yet,” said Odette Welling, Vice President of Halloween at Party City. “Each year, the demand for frightening décor grows and we’re thrilled to this year be able to give Halloween enthusiasts a sneak peek and what they can expect from Party City.
