H&P Expo 2018: Talking to Rubie’s

Executive vice president of Rubie’s Costume Co., Howard Beige shares his thoughts about this H&P Expo 2018 and what’s in store for the year ahead with PartyWorldwide.net.

“This show is showing a definite improvement,” says Howard, “there are many more attendees and also some very serious attendees who are all sitting down to place orders here at the show.”

Howard is particularly excited about the coming year, as for the first time ever, Rubie’s is able to actively promote two Star Wars movies simultaneously with The Last Jedi (Dec ’17) and Solo: A Star Wars Story (due out in May ’18).

We also find out how the first Halloween Industry Association member meeting of the year went and who Howard’s favourite superhero is.
