Party City Halloween 2024 Decorations, Animatronics, Costumes, Props and More - Store Walkthrough

[@simplerelaxationasmr]

The thing I love about party city is the nostalogia for me. I used to always get so excited to go and pick out my costume. We lived in a small town and that was pretty much the only place to go for Halloween.

[@HappyHaunting]

We had a party city knock off that got run out of town by them when I was a kid. Shame. I loved that place. They did a mini haunted house in the store!

[@JamesWhittle]

Kids love the fog bubbles. Put it outside fer sure and where it won't make the ground slippery. I put mine out by the road.

[@HappyHaunting]

Good place for it!

[@ForeverTremere]

Definitely get the fog bubbler! The kids will love it.

[@susanc.3771]

I think the bubble fog machine sounds really cool. It gets a thumbs-up from me!

[@HappyHaunting]

:)

[@TheSesshomaru]

I love the dripping skull with the candle on top ❤❤and I also love the bloody skull that’s really cool.

[@HappyHaunting]

Very!

[@cindydavis1443]

You definitely should get the bubble fog machine. Have it outdoors - it will be a show stopper for sure!

[@HappyHaunting]

I’m getting a lot of comments that say no…

[@bobcalderon2534]

Thanks for the video 😊

[@HappyHaunting]

No worries!

[@kt19926]

That Rant about Party City is so valid🙏

[@heathermanning5368]

Can't wait to see your display this year!

[@HappyHaunting]

Thanks. I’m putting up a video tomorrow with a little decorating snippet.

[@markzeahammer183]

Good to hear that I'm not the only one who likes Spiders and for the same reasons.

[@HappyHaunting]

I can’t handle bugs. Maybe that’s why I like the spiders that eat them…

[@sugarintheraw2938]

Party City is one of my last go-to stores but there are a few things I did like. Thx.

[@HappyHaunting]

Happy haunting!

[@OkayYaraman]

Like the gold skeleton, the black skeleton could also be used in a Star Wars scene, one involving Luke’s uncle and aunt. 😜 Or any kind of burn victim, maybe in a hell themed display. They might also look good against a white or green background with blacklight on it.

[@HappyHaunting]

Good suggestions

[@maskedman0000]

I love Party City for never dropping some of the old school classic merchandise, like the vintage wallpaper decor and such and even sticking with the intense gore that Spirit has since gotten soft on… but their pre-order fiasco has been really headache this year, and they know it too. Been waiting on Cthulhu since his announcement in June, and we’re looking at a release date going well into October, along with essentially the entire rest of their line up. Really sad to see.

[@HappyHaunting]

Oooh, I’d be leery about decorating around a prop I wasn’t sure was going to make it.

[@SpookifyDIY]

Unfortunately, in canada, most of our party cities do not do displays like this, so I appreciate your video.

[@HappyHaunting]

Thanks! Happy haunting!

[@KerriGilpin]

Can confirm baby spiders on mom spider’s back. On my back porch I saw a “bumpy” spider, my dog went to investigate and the babies scattered so quickly, by brain took a second to register. Keep us updated on your spider situation if they come back! Edit apparently part of my last edit was deleted. 🙄🤦🏼‍♀️ anyway Joro spiders are a lot like the Banana Spiders we have in C Florida. Very cool!

[@HappyHaunting]

They still give me a bit of ICK feeling!

[@scottydogheaven8606]

Had a nubble fogger a few years back and it unfortunately only lasted 1 season. The kids DO love the smoke effect but it makes a total mess unless your bubbles are hitting grass. But again the smoke inside bubbles looks amazing if you have a large open space where kids can chase them without slipping.

[@HappyHaunting]

Thanks for the insight!

[@aithris8567]

I think trunk or treat is aimed more towards smaller children that can’t quite walk as far as in a neighborhood, we get a little over a hundred kids but usually older than 6.

[@HappyHaunting]

Some of those kits are really neat!

[@BeeHus2256]

I agree about the hanging decor. Seems the same vendor.... Maybe since Haunted Hill Farms stopped direct online sales and only sells to retail now. I see a LOT of their stuff in HD, Lowes, Joann's, Micheal's, Oriental, etc. They even have a store front on Amazon... With higher prices of course. I used to buy a lot of the Party City tombstones and glue them onto larger plain foam tombstones to save on carving time and as cheap background fill ins.

[@HappyHaunting]

Good idea on the gravestones.

[@CobwebsandCandlesticks]

Just went to mine last night, they had nothing of the animatronics. Just the skellies.

[@HappyHaunting]

Did you get a gold one?

[@splunge999]

Shame they didn't have all the animatronics out! Missed opportunity for sure. This is the place if you want gory stuff lol. Those bloody knife and weapons garland I bought 15 years ago! They always did have great scene setters here. I'm so jealous of all the variety of stuff you have in the US 😂 Thanks for the walk-through! xx

[@HappyHaunting]

I love scene setters! I wish I could find a creepy swamp one!

[@splunge999]

@@HappyHaunting Yes, for your garage that would complete it!

[@stevetrump7399]

Party City used to have really cool latex monsters back in 2002. We have a place called The Halloween Club in Southern California which had the greatest props but way way over priced. Tons of amazing latex creatures but latex does not stand the test of time unfortunately. It's way more realistic looking than plastic but it does rot for some reason. It's a real shame. The real secret in decorating for Halloween is the fact that in the night, it's too dark to notice imperfections in your decorations. Then, with the right kind of lighting you can make the most cheap crap look incredible. Another thing I've noticed about these DIY Halloween tips is most of it is centered on visuals when sound is so incredibly important to the mood and setting.

[@leeshevlin6339]

No you don't need bubbles your house and your yard decor look amazing❤❤ I'm curious to know your ideas for decorating this year❤

[@HappyHaunting]

Thank you! 🤗

[@amyed3415]

I found out the hard way too about putting decals on my hardwood floor LoL thankfully it only messed up a couple spots but it still annoys me every time I see it

[@HappyHaunting]

They should have a warning label!

[@lcroll9780]

Haha funny things about kids...they definitely will go their own way and like what they like .Your kid might actually love pastel Halloween decor and velvet pumpkins and (HORROR!) toilet skeletons that are there for the boos 🙃🙂😂

[@cyberi4a]

Can you revamp one of your animatronics to look like Jason? A hockey mask, some old clothes, etc?

[@HappyHaunting]

I’m not sure I have any good ones to spare. But maybe.

[@billyprofit1085]

You could use pvc pipe and old clothes hockey mask make your own Jason

[@HappyHaunting]

I bought a projection effect. I’ll have a video up on that within a week!

[@EarthsGeomancer]

No bubbles!

[@HappyHaunting]

Thanks!

[@tl8413]

Make a Jason one using another animatronic.

[@hallowthrifty2961]

Wolf spiders carry babies n their back. It’s horrifying!!!

[@HappyHaunting]

So much ICK.

[@zosometalgod]

Party city is closing a lot of stores they're pretty much bankrupt and animatronics are too expensive for party City because their sales are way down! And true Halloween enthusiasts don't do party city like they used to back in the 80's and 90's! Party City used to buy props from me back in those days

[@HappyHaunting]

You must have stories!

[@corinnetippit7983]

Many stores getting rid of old inventory

[@youngcrouchyboy]

2021 you mean 2024 😂

[@HappyHaunting]

OMG. Thanks for pointing that out! I copied and pasted a title from another year. I’ve been doing these things for too long!

[@will2dmax1]

Kids shouldn't start out on Iphone 15's lol, most of this small stuff is for kids, it has it's place

[@HappyHaunting]

I suppose…

[@phyllisolson5148]

You have the most negative comments per minute that I’ve ever heard. People are watching a Party City video because they are interested in seeing what they have! Be nice.

[@HappyHaunting]

You have the most negative comment on the video. It's all relative. If you don't like my commentary, there's always the mute button.

[@HappyHaunting]

...Or are we both offering constructive criticism?...
