Party City is launching their entire 2023 lineup of new animatronics and more products right now, and we talked to the company’s Vice President of Halloween, Odette Welling this week about her own passion for the greatest time of year, and how she and her team have brought Party City into the forefront the animatronics conversation this year, how industry trends have shaped their new releases, and more.

In a fun video conversation, Welling goes into detail on the innovations in Party City’s newest animatronics lineup, explaining her team’s new goals and drive that she has been instrumental in helping to execute since 2020. She even gives HDN an exclusive tease for 2024, and of course we discussed Odette’s own relationship to Halloween itself and what the season truly means to her on a personal level.
