A secret civilization lives in the darkness around us. For one night, you’re invited to enter their lair…
For most of us, Halloween comes but once a year. Diehard fans of the season wish it could be endless, and for some…it is! There’s an entire subculture of devotees who live in the darkness. They come together for Endless Night Vampire Ball, an international series of events celebrating the allure of the undead.
Father Sebastiaan
ENDLESS NIGHT Vampire Ball was founded in 1996 by Father Sebastiaan, a self-professed “fangsmith”, author, and impresario. What is a fangsmith, you ask? It’s someone who creates custom dental pieces that enable men and women to transform into their own Nosferatu. Made from high-quality dental materials, Father Sebastiaan’s fangs are the end product of a personal consultation that allows the Father to match a wearer’s desires with his artistry.
You don’t need a set of custom fangs to dive into the wildness of ENDLESS NIGHT. The events are described as “Venetian Masquerade meets a Vampire Court, with the energy of a rock concert and the elegance of a burlesque cabaret.” Guests are implored to dress impressively in gothic Victorian attire. The balls promise a mesmerizing atmosphere with “hauntingly beautiful decorations and eerie music that will make your blood run cold.”
What began as the “Vampyre Ball of New York” has spread around the globe, with galas in Paris, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Salem, Prague, Austria, Tampa, and Dallas, capped by the big Halloween night festivities in New Orleans! The next event will take place in Sin City this May:
“You are cordially invited to a night of enchantment at the Endless Night: Vegas Vampire Ball 2025! Join us on Saturday, May 3rd, 2025 hosted by the historic Fremont Country Club, Father Sebastiaan, and Joy Felicity for an unforgettable evening. This in-person event will transport you into a world of darkness, elegance, and mystery.”
“Immerse yourself in the vampire culture as you mingle with fellow creatures of the night. Sip on deliciously wicked BLOODBATH and Absinthe cocktails and savor tantalizing bites that will awaken your vampiric senses. Throughout the night, indulge in captivating performances by talented artists who will leave you spellbound. Dance the night away to haunting melodies and lose yourself in the enchantment of the night.”
To bring a Sin City element to the upcoming vampire ball, ENDLESS NIGHT Las Vegas will feature Satanic consultant John Shaw (below) as “Court Magician”. Fans know Shaw for his eerie performances at Zak Bagans’ Haunted Museum, Late Night Magic, and television appearances on The Late Show with James Corden, Pawn Stars, Ghost Adventures, and many more.
“I’m very excited to be performing at this event. I met Father Sebastiaan back in NYC during the early days of the vampire parties and have performed at many iconic events at Lime Light, The Bank, and Mother. This event will be an amazing dive into the dark and intriguing lifestyles of the vampire community.”
“These parties are a dress-to-impress kind of event. So, if you’ve ever been attracted to the vampire aesthetic, this will be your chance. Plenty of beautiful people and amazing, talented individuals performing and engaging in an all-night bougie soirée. So, join me and my vampy, campy friends for a night of delectable and devilish delights!!!” – John Shaw
Father Sebastiaan told VEGAS 411 that “We welcome anyone in the proper dress code who is an adult of 21+”. The event takes place at Fremont Country Club at 601 E. Fremont Street beginning at 9 pm. Tickets start at $40 and can be purchased here.
