Inside Public Hotel’s Epic Halloween Bash

by ElizaBeth Taylor November 2, 2023
written by ElizaBeth Taylor

 Last night PUBLIC celebrated Halloween with a Project Zero party Neptune’s Nightmare at their underground club. All night long guests were treated to beats from Alexandra Richards, Aku + Niks, and The Muses.

The party had attendees transported into the ultimate oceanic dance party. Hosts of the party where Michele Clarke, Bob Barrett, Tyler Burrow, Mei Kwok, Peter Davis, Dianne Brill, Charlotte Kemp Muhl, Dustin Pittman, Ben Pundole, Sophie Sumner, Liz Vap & Tyrone Wood.

Emma Snowdon-Jones, Tyler Burrow, Xeina Alkahina

 Notable attendees included Troy Hawke, Drew Jessup, Trevor Sumner, Ted Hildner, Lauren Corcoran, Alexa Dark, Travis Cronin, Indira Cesarine, Lo’renzo Hill White, Dustin Pittman, Xeina Alkahina, Caio Morbin, Mauro Finatti, Derek Kettela,

photographer Jesse Frohman, designers Vin + Omi, Jill Stuart and Ric Pipino and Andrea Piecuch (Miss Universe US Virgin Islands), and Andrea Piecuch.

The spooky affair also was a special night to benefit Project Zero. The organization has set out to secure a global network of ocean sanctuaries to provide resilience to the devastating effects of the climate crisis. Stretching from Antarctica to the Bering Strait, and mapped out by the world’s leading marine scientists, this global network of projects will be able to restore our ocean’s health, and set us on a sustainable path.

Caio Morbin, Mauro Finatti

Like national parks in the water, each ocean sanctuary is a place where no one can drill, mine, fish or pollute to allow the ocean regain its power to mitigate the effects of climate change. In an explosion of biodiversity, fishes and invertebrates in ocean sanctuaries reproduce and grow to full size; this biodiversity is critical to the carbon cycle. Fish and their larvae immigrate to other areas of the ocean, securing a global food source that over a billion people rely on daily.

Derek Kettela, Andrea Piecuch

Each ocean sanctuary is a pearl in the global strand, each with its own unique characteristics, management plan and team on the ground; each requires many of the same processes and funding as their land-based counterparts.

Five Nights at Freddy’s Might Make You Die of Fright, If You’re Ready

by Ishan Wankavala October 31, 2023
written by Ishan Wankavala

There is a precedent for bad video game movie adaptations. These are usually purely meant as cash grabs, enticing children that care little for plot, logic, and production quality to spend their parents’ money to see the same characters they know on a bigger screen. This is arguably a pretty devastating mindset to have when reviewing any movie, and even though I try to remain unbiased, my expectations were pretty low for Five Nights at Freddy’s. Boy, was I wrong.

To give context, I have played the games occasionally over the years. While the gameplay itself is enjoyable, what I loved even more was the deep lore that each game contributed to, and how I had to piece it all together and speculate how the next game would completely change it all. Watching YouTubers like The Game Theorist, also known as MatPat, explains several theories about the game’s story after each release became routine and was an integral component of the game experience for me.

This is why this movie was such a surprise: despite my low expectations, the film is endowed with a shockingly endearing story that actually gives the characters weight and realistic motivations. These are expanded from the backstories in the games, and add additional details and stakes to the plot. For one, Mike’s relentless pursuit to remember his younger brother’s kidnapper through his own dreams was surprisingly tear-jerking, and was an interesting concept that I had not experienced before. The movie stays faithful to the lore, and any fan will recognize dozens of references that show that a true fan of the games made this movie, put together with delicate love.

Along with the plot, the effects and scares were especially tantalizing. I remained on the edge of my seat the whole time, as the movie’s primary mode of communicating fear wasn’t the cheap jump scares I expected, but a slow, foreboding horror that refused to let up. The film actually contained very few jump scares, and rather used the much more potent incorporation of slow shots, creepy music, and general sense of tension. The CGI of the animatronics was also on point, and they looked tangible and grounded, while also maintaining a sense of freaky, warped dream-like reality. The production for this film was absolutely perfect in execution.

I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. Both Josh Hutcherson and Elizabeth Lail were amazing, as Mike and Vanessa, and Matthew Lillard (loved him from the Scooby-Doo films) brought a certain frantic energy that was indescribable. Piper Rubio surpassed the annoying-kid trope that I have become so accustomed to in recent movies, and she actually gave a solid, intelligent performance for someone her age. I also very much enjoyed the MatPat cameo, and I knew at that point that the film was a definitely a love-letter to fans of the FNAF franchise.

Five Nights at Freddy’s are in theaters now, and you definitely do not want to miss it this Halloween season.

The Haunted Hotel at The Ned NoMad Returns with Star-Studded Halloween Bash

Evan Mock

The Ned Nomad celebrated Halloween with a takeover by The Box on October 27th and 28th in New York City.

The Haunted Hotel at The Ned NoMad results from a collaboration between party-maven Richie Akiva and The Box’s experiential production company, Outside The Box Amusements. This immersive experience marked the second consecutive year of spine-tingling entertainment, ensuring guests experienced a Halloween celebration like no other.

On the first night, rapper G-Eazy led the festivities, celebrating with friends and Ned members amid the eerie ambiance of The Haunted Hotel. Festivities continued on October 28th, with models, actors, musicians and VIPs filling the haunted hallways and dancefloor. The guest list included notable attendees such as Evan Mock, rapper Maino, fighter Dillon Danis and more joining Akiva and The Box’s Giza Selimi for two nights of spine-tingling fun.

The Haunted Hotel at The Ned NoMad featured a meticulously designed transformation of the hotel. Classic horror films inspired the setting, immersing guests in scenes like a devil-led poker game, an orgasm room, zombie bellhops, and more. The entire hotel, including The Magic Room, The Library, Little Ned Bar, and every nook and cranny, transformed into a frightening world that left guests in for a frightening treat.

Guests enjoyed flowing libations from Cierto Tequila and danced the night away to the beats of a stellar lineup of in-demand DJs, including Michael Simpson, DJ Truth, and DJ Soni withanEYE. Late-night pop-ins by Al3x Crush and DJ Reign added to the excitement of keeping partygoers on the dance floor well into the evening.

With a star-studded guest list, a spine-chilling atmosphere, and some incredible visual and auditory performances, The Haunted Hotel at The Ned NoMad made for an unforgettable Halloween celebration for all in attendance.

Beyond Fest: LA Premiere of ‘Halloween Ends’

by Katherine Wright October 17, 2022
written by Katherine Wright

On October 11th, The Knockturnal attended the LA premiere of David Gordon Green’s ‘Halloween Ends’ at the Hollywood Legion Theater, marking the last film in the ‘Halloween’ reboot trilogy. 

 

The film stars Jamie Lee Curtis and tackles the legacy of Laurie Strode as she writes a memoir grappling with the evil encounters of her life; however, Michael Myers doesn’t lurk far from her attempts to finally find peace. 

 

The audience gathered in a packed theater to experience the horror as part of Beyond Fest, and continued the celebration at Yamashiro for the premiere’s afterparty. The popular high-end sushi hotspot was transformed into a terrifyingly magical Halloween escape land, a full-on seasonal celebration and tribute to the iconic film series. 

 

Guests were greeted by a spectacle of orange lights and jack-o’-lanterns that lit up the beautiful space overlooking the LA skyline, while staff members were decked out in a variety of thematic costumes, including a special guest appearance from a masked Michael Myers himself. To complete the Halloween horror ambience, realistic dead body props were placed strategically throughout the Yamashiro, including the staircase and the central pond area of the venue.

A post shared by The Knockturnal (@theknockturnal)

Yamashiro provided a wide variety of buffet-style entrée options including salmon, chicken, an array of side dishes, and of course a stunning platter of sushi spelling out “Ends.” In tune with the flawlessly executed theme, the bar served movie-inspired cocktails named “The Myers” and “The Strode” after the film’s prominent enemies, and buckets of candy and “trick or treat” bags were conveniently placed all over the restaurant. 

 

‘Halloween Ends’ was released in theaters on October 14th by Universal Pictures, and can also be streamed on Peacock for the next two months.
