(MENAFN- EIN Presswire) EINPresswire/ -- The Endless Night Vampire Ball, the world's most celebrated gothic masquerade, announces a historic leadership transition this Halloween. Founder and impresario Father Sebastiaan will step back from day-to-day operations to focus on health and writing, entrusting the creative team led by Patti Negri,“The Good Witch of Hollywood,” to guide the next phase of the brand.

Father Sebastiaan, who established Endless Night nearly three decades ago, will remain a consultant while taking medical leave to manage Parkinson's disease, a condition brought into public focus by figures such as Michael J. Fox and Ozzy Osbourne. During this time, he will complete his forthcoming memoir series, "The Vampire Sebastiaan," and dedicate his energy to supporting the newly established Rock to Cure Parkinson's Foundation.

This moment marks a new era in Endless Night history with a renewed focus on entertainment, theatricality, inclusivity, and immersive nightlife that continues the brand's legacy of elegance and mystique.“Starting this Halloween, this remarkable team ensures Endless Night remains a place of magic, mystery, and belonging,” said Father Sebastiaan.“Their collective vision will carry our tradition.”
