About the Company

The Beistle Company, or simply Beistle, is an American company known for manufacturing holiday decorations and party goods and is particularly known for its catalog of Halloween decorations. Beistle was founded in 1900 in Pennsylvania by Martin Luther Beistle, who created the company after being inspired by his experiences as a calendar salesperson and his exposure to a form of paper craft during a visit to Germany.
