Following the success of Pride Ball in 2023 and 2024, LGBTQ+ streaming service Revry has collaborated with the International Vogue League to launch The Halloween Ball — hailed as a "groundbreaking new addition to the world of queer sports entertainment."
If you still miss the Max (née HBO Max) series Legendary, you'll be happy to know that Revry's The Halloween Ball features a few superstars from that show. For instance, Dashaun Wesley ("Father of The House of Basquiat") cohosts the event alongside Jacques Ceran, a.k.a. Jack Mizrahi ("Father of The House of Gorgeous Gucci"). Moreover, the one and only Leiomy Maldonado appears as a judge — and yes, we're all gagging!
Overall, The Halloween Ball (which is already available for streaming!) showcases four thrilling categories: "Scary Hairy Terror Twins," in which paired-up performers bring iconic Halloween villains to life on the runway; "Hexy Sexy Hex Sirens," which invites contestants of all genders to seduce us using mystical costumes and charm; "Bitchtress of Halloween," where only the most flawless face and stunning Halloween look can thrive; and the "Elite Eight," which showcases eight elite vogue dancers battling in a Halloween-themed competition. At the end of "Elite Eight," one vogue dancer is crowned the ultimate "Final Boss."
Revry CEO and cofounder Damian Pelliccione — who was a 2021 Out100 honoree — wrote in a statement:
"At Revry, we're always pushing the boundaries of queer entertainment, and The Halloween Ball is our latest bold step. Halloween provides the perfect backdrop for these performers to showcase the creativity, versatility, and fierceness that only the ballroom community can deliver. We're excited to have göt2b back with us to bring this spectacular event to audiences worldwide."
