During the Halloween season, one of my makeup artist friends, Destinee, approached my sister, Samantha Baker, and myself about doing a victorian vampire shoot at our home studio - why would we say no to that?! She got herself into an old wedding gown she found from a thrift store, a wig, her makeup, and brought props as well to get into character. With our combined forces and shooting for a couple of hours, here’s the results.

In celebration of spoopy season, I had the opportunity to check out a press event for the remake of Nickelodeon’s Are You Afraid Of The Dark? at the Haus of Creep interactive event in Downtown LA for Celeb Secrets. The event lasts roughly around one or two hours, with an interactive experience of all sorts of characters, where you get to meet all the dark and twisted storytellers. From the mischievous Mr. Happy and The Stalker, to the mysterious and insightful Thirteen, the Haus invites you to meet their weird creeps for a night you won’t forget. It’s truly something like no other for the Halloween season: think Universal’s Horror Nights, except for the part where you actually make intimate conversation and meet each individual freak and find out their stories behind their characters — if you dare ask. It was something I had never experienced before, and if you enjoy playing along with actors in character as much as I do, this is something you’ll for sure want to check out while you can. The Haus of Creep is going on until November 3rd, so get your tickets ASAP by checking the link here. While you’re here, you can check out some portraits I managed to snag while interacting with these freaks below:
