W NEW YORK-TIMES SQUARE Announces Tim Burton Style Halloween Celebration

This Halloween, W New York- Times Square is trading the typical Halloween party for something a bit different. On Halloween night, the hotel will transform into an immersive celebration inspired by the dark, whimsical world of Tim Burton, bringing together film, music, visual effects, cocktails and live storytelling for a night that goes beyond the traditional costume party.

The evening will feature a special fireside chat and audience Q&A with Jay Prychidny, ACE (Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice and Wednesday) the acclaimed film editor and creative collaborator behind Tim Burton’s cinematic world, offering guests a rare behind-the-scenes look at the filmmaking process and the artistry that brings Burton’s fantastical characters and stories to life.

The experience will also include a live VFX artist creature build, where guests can watch a fantastical creature take shape throughout the evening before its final reveal, alongside projections of beloved Tim Burton films, live DJ music, a costume contest, themed cocktails and more.

Guests will receive a welcome glass of Perrier-Jouët and an additional drink ticket, with a complimentary photobooth adding another opportunity to capture the night.
