Party City’s been typecast as “balloons & backyard bdays.” But the brand has an alter ego: Halloween Heavyweight. To prove their decor is more than cute, but legit scary, we launched “Dare to Scare”.

Using hidden cameras, we staged real scares with Party City products and captured unfiltered reactions. The result? A social-first campaign that rewired perception and informed people Party City doesn’t just do parties, they do Halloween — real spooky-like.

Social/Digital/Experential

Leading up to Halloween, we transformed the identity across social and digital, leaving a much darker Party City in its wake.
