The 2nd Annual Haunted Ball Is Back And This Is One Invite You Want
Presented by Key Elements PR | October 16, 2026
If there’s one Halloween event you’re going to want to be spotted at this October, this might be it. The 2nd Annual Haunted Ball, presented by Key Elements PR, is taking over Friday, October 16, 2026, and judging by what’s already been confirmed, year two is going to be on an entirely different level. This formal/Masquerade Ball themed event will have major red carpet, live performances, insane food, tarot readings, brand activations, VIP surprises and a room filled with talent, creators and some seriously glam Masquerade looks. Basically, this is not your average Halloween party. This event will also benefit UCLA Mattel Children's Hospital.
All eyes (including ours) will be on the red carpet. An impressive 20 media outlets are already confirmed to cover the event, giving attending talent, creators and VIP guests plenty of opportunities to be photographed, interviewed and spotted. Translation: this is not the night to show up in a last minute costume. Teen Vibes Magazine is sponsoring the official Best Dressed Contest, and we’ll be watching for the guests who understood the assignment.
Once the red carpet wraps, the night is just getting started. Ava Rivello, Jourdan Evans, Mason McNulty and SOS are all set to take the stage for live performances, bringing even more energy to the Haunted Ball. After the live entertainment, a DJ takes over, keeping the music going and turning the rest of the evening into the kind of Halloween party you won’t be in a hurry to leave.
Of course, it wouldn’t be The Haunted Ball without a little mystery. Guests can make their way into the Psychic Village, where tarot card readers will be waiting to see what the cards have to say. Between readings, there will be brand activations, a photo booth and fun photo ops throughout the event, which means there should be no shortage of content hitting everyone’s feeds the next morning. Our advice? Clear some storage on your phone before you arrive!
The food situation deserves its own moment, too. Guests can hit a full taco bar, grab Halloween inspired themed bites and sips and stop by the mocktail bar for something created especially for the night. There will also be on site charcuterie, a candy activation and fresh cotton candy, because apparently you can never have too many treats at this Haunted Ball. Two sponsor brands that you already know and love are joining the night as sponsors: Chick-fil-A and Crumbl.
Then there are the VIPs which collectively make this event's reach over 100 MILLION!! Select guests will leave with VIP gift bags valued at approximately $500, adding another serious perk to an evening already packed with experiences. Between the gifts, BEST DRESSED CONTEST, food, entertainment, activations, Psychic Village, red carpet and photo moments, VIP status at this year’s Haunted Ball is definitely going to come with some bragging rights.
This is where fashion, entertainment, creators, brands and Halloween collide for one night, and Key Elements PR appears to be taking everything up a notch for its second year. With 20 confirmed media outlets, Teen Vibes Magazine’s Best Dressed Contest, live entertainment, a DJ, Psychic Village, tarot card readers, brand activations, a photo booth, interactive photo ops, a full taco bar, mocktails, charcuterie, candy, cotton candy, Chick-fil-A, Crumbl and VIP gift bags worth approximately $500, there is going to be a lot happening behind those doors! So start thinking about the look now, because October 16 is coming fast. The red carpet is waiting, the cameras will be out, the tarot cards are ready and the Best Dressed competition is officially on.
The 2nd Annual Haunted Ball is almost here—and this year, you’re definitely going to want to be on the guest list. If you are in the industry and have PR have them submit you to this event.
