FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Endless Night Vampire Ball New Orleans Unveils Women-Led Team for Halloween 2025 in New Orleans
NEW ORLEANS, LA (October 31st 2025) - The Endless Night Vampire Ball, the world’s most celebrated gothic masquerade, announces a historic leadership transition this Halloween. Founder and impresario Father Sebastiaan will step back from day-to-day operations to focus on health and writing, entrusting the creative team with Patti Negri “The Good Witch of Hollywood” to guide the next phase of the brand.
Father Sebastiaan, who established Endless Night nearly three decades ago, will remain a consultant while taking medical leave to manage Parkinson’s disease — a condition brought into public focus by figures such as Michael J. Fox and Ozzy Osbourne. During this time, he will complete his forthcoming memoir series, The Vampire Sebastiaan, and dedicate his energy to supporting the newly established Rock to Cure Parkinson’s Foundation.
This marks the new era in Endless Night history — focusing on entertainment, theatricality, inclusivity, and immersive nightlife that continues the brand’s legacy of elegance and mystique.
This year's Endless Night NOLA krewe includes:
Patti Negri — known worldwide as “The Good Witch of Hollywood” — joins as co-owner and celebrity host. A celebrated television psychic and producer (Discovery’s Ghost Adventures, Portals to Hell), Negri brings decades of entertainment experience. Her upcoming book Dollcraft: A Witch’s Guide to Poppet Magick & Haunted Dolls (Llewellyn, 2025) follows her success as an international best-selling author and award-winning podcaster (The Witching Hour).
Joining Negri this weekend:
• JoHanna Moresco — Internationally recognized violinist of The Crüxshadows; now ENVB band liaison, and host of the Best Dressed contest.
• Joy Felicity — Showrunner, overseeing guest experience, hospitality, and atmosphere across the franchise.
• Tsarina Hellfire — Acclaimed performer, Mistress of Ceremonies, and lead actress of Les Cabaret Vampyre, bringing theatrical direction and stagecraft.
• Matt VChrist — DJ and production manager, curating Endless Night’s sonic identity.
• Victor Magnus — Longtime master of the front of house.
• Alexis Pharae — Co-owner and co-host of Endless Night New England and president of Vampfangs, directing all visual branding and design.
• Jonathan Repass — director of operations.
• Mike & Cass — VIV hosts.
• Ashley Bad — West Coast DJ and professional latex model, shaping the event’s evolving musical aesthetic.
“Starting this Halloween, this remarkable team ensures Endless Night remains a place of magic, mystery, and belonging,” said Father Sebastiaan. “Their collective vision will carry our tradition."
