Hitchcock Halloween at the McKittrick Hotel was a party to die for, and we have photos

Alex Biese | Asbury Park Press

It was a match made in Halloween heaven.

The McKittrick Hotel, home of New York City immersive theater sensation "Sleep No More," celebrated the work of shocker cinema auteur Alfred Hitchcock this season, and the results were to die for.

"A Hitchcock Halloween" bewitched revelers on Oct. 25, 26 and 31. For an inside look at this year's festivities, check out the gallery at the top of this story.

"Sleep No More" launched in 2011 at the McKittrick Hotel in Manhattan's West Chelsea neighborhood, and has earned acolytes the world over for its provocative marriage of William Shakespeare's bloody tragedy "Macbeth" with the mystery and grace of Old Hollywood classics, particularly Hitchcock's Best Picture-winning "Rebecca" (1940).

Finally bringing the McKittrick's Hitchcock heritage to the forefront for three decadent nights of dance, drink and delightful discovery was a masterstroke. Following the evenings' performances of "Sleep No More," the massive space underwent a remarkably quick transformation into a film noir dreamscape.

There were wonders around every corner, and new surprises to be found on many of the building's floors: A series of event-specific dance performances, multiple live bands, lip- sync battles and reinventions of the McKittrick's own well-traveled spaces, all dressed to the nines and wonderfully designed.

And of course, we must not forget a raging dance party in the hotel's ballroom and open bar access all night long.

It all made for, in the words of Hitchcock himself, a good evening.

In addition to "Sleep No More," The McKittrick Hotel is also home to the luxurious rooftop bar Gallow Green, the swanky cocktail lounge and jazz club the Manderley Bar and the dining and performance space The Club Car.

The next grand party scheduled for the space is the McKittrick World's Fair on Tuesday, Dec. 31 — that's right, New Year's Eve. Pre-sale tickets are available now via mckittrickhotel.com/events/nye.
