On Saturday, October 31, 2026, ditch the traditional dress-up parties: Diamanda Callas invites you to Murder on the Runway, a Halloween ball as chic as it is vicious at the legendary Baths club, in the heart of Paris's 3rd arrondissement. The lineup for this offbeat night includes extravagant costumes, drag performances, cabaret and DJ sets until dawn. A night where fashion meets horror, for the capital’s night owls to savor!
This year, Halloween is taking on the vibe of a nightmare fashion show! With Murder on the Runway, expect an evening where elegance dangerously flirts with the macabre.
The idea? Bring together Paris's most extravagant creatures for a grand, costume-filled ball that plays on horrific glamour. Haute-couture witches, sophisticated vampires, or creatures straight out of a horror flick: everyone gets to design their most spectacular look. And note, here the costume is an integral part of the party. The perfect chance to let your imagination run wild and dust off the most improbable accessories.
At the helm, Diamanda Callas, a drag artist and singer who regularly graces the stage of the Madame Arthur cabaret in Paris. With her gothic universe, her dark humor, and a love of theatre and excess, it's hard to imagine a better host for a night like this! By her side, several artists will light up the stage: Maud Amour, Charly Voodoo, Margarette and La Harpie.
Between cabaret acts and drag shows, the night promises a lively mix of provocation, humor, and macabre whimsy. But the festivities won’t end with the final act! DJs Himeji, Izae and Jean Biche will then take over behind the turntables to keep the monsters dancing until 4:30 in the morning.
And to roll out the red carpet for this Halloween ball, the venue is anything but arbitrary. Based at 7 rue du Bourg-l’Abbé, the Bains have long been a cornerstone of Paris’s nightlife. Before evolving into a famed club, the venue housed private baths that operated in the 19th century.
But did you know his story already includes a Halloween-worthy anecdote? At the opening of Les Bains Douches on December 21, 1978, designer Philippe Starck imagined a striking stagecraft: artificial snow on the street and a red flag dipped into a blood-colored pool!
An astonishing setting that already hinted at the place’s extravagant spirit. Having become one of the premier hotspots of Parisian nightlife, the club has since welcomed figures such as David Bowie, Andy Warhol, and Naomi Campbell. Nearly fifty years later, it’s in this storied venue that Diamanda Callas’s creatures will come to celebrate Halloween.
