Janelle Monáe embraces HalloQueen role, creating an empire where art and freedom collide in October
Janelle Monáe's HalloQueen residency features immersive Halloween events blending art, music, and film under Wondaween, with signature festivals drawing thousands in Los Angeles.
- This year, Janelle Monáe is fully embracing the HalloQueen persona with a monthlong residency centered on immersive Halloween events in Los Angeles, including Vampire Beach on Thursday and the Wondaween party on Friday at the Santa Monica Pier.
- From her Wondaland roots, Monáe created HalloQueen from a lifelong passion for Halloween and transformation, building on the collective she co-founded with Nate 'Rocket' Wonder and Chuck Lightning, which now underpins Wondaween.
- Inside a candle-lit mausoleum, Monáe recreated a scene from The Craft, chanting `Light as a feather, stiff as a board` before a sold-out crowd at Hollywood Forever Cemetery.
- Monáe says the events build community and aim for lasting resonance, while after October ends, she will channel creative energy into future projects, with two signature events crowning the season.
- They envision taking the experience to other cities including Atlanta, Miami, Chicago and Kansas City, with each stop featuring a new theme described as almost like the Met Gala for Halloween under Wondaween.
