Masqué returns to :Chambre for UNHOLY — a Halloween gathering of beautiful creatures, dark fantasies, forbidden characters, and identities usually left behind in daylight.
October 31, 2026 · ESL, Washington, DC · 9pm–2:30am Eastern Time
Two floors of house and deep tech. Attendance is for approved Masqué members aged 21 and over. An elevated character, creature, fantasy, or alter ego is expected: read the Masqué wardrobe guide.
Extend the night with the UNHOLY Hotel Weekender. Hotel packages and :ANNEXE admission are separate from your UNHOLY ticket.
House music with energy and lift on one floor.
Deep, sultry tech on the other.
Two floors. Two energies. One gathering.
Two floors.
One house.
Choose a character, creature, fantasy, or alter ego — and interpret it through the Masqué wardrobe.
Vampires. Devils. Fallen angels. Witches. Villains. Dark brides. Priests. Pirates. Ghosts. Aristocrats. Creatures. Film characters. Beautiful monsters. Something entirely your own.
The character can be outrageous. The execution should still feel Masqué: elevated, provocative, intentional, and beautifully put together.
Cheap, disposable costume-store looks are not the assignment.
Begin with lingerie, corsetry, bodywear, fetishwear, or sensual eveningwear, then build the character through makeup, masks, wings, horns, veils, jewelry, headpieces, and other costume elements.
Begin with tailoring, fitted eveningwear, leather, fetishwear, or body-conscious clothing, then build the character around it.
:Chambre is Masqué in its most immediate form — our club format. Built around music, movement, and community, :Chambre puts the dance floor at the center while preserving the elevated dress, provocative energy, and intentional culture that define Masqué.
UNHOLY asks you to become a character, but the Masqué standard remains the same: elevated, expressive, and intentional. Build the character through the wardrobe rather than wearing a costume over ordinary clothes. Lingerie and stilettos are not required; effort and transformation are.
