Crimson Peak Movie night! This Saturday the 22nd at 5:00 PM (EST)

On Saturday evening the 22nd at 5:00 PM (EST) We're going to watch one of the most gloriously gothic movies ever made while I show you the BEST way I've found to set your candles in their various candle holders and candelabras!

The movie is going to be 'Crimson Peak' and I'll be watching on my end, talking through the whole movie and showing you how to lock your candles in place! Because let's be honest, when you're running down the corridor at midnight in a gossamer nightgown, the LAST thing you want is your candles toppling all over the place!

For copyright reasons, you won't hear or see the movie from my end, so you'll want to set it up on either your computer or TV separately and I'll just tell you where to start it once we get going :D The movie is on Netflix or can be rented on Amazon Prime.

Things you will need...

A lace nightgown (Preferably with puff sleeves)
A bouffant Gibson Girl Hairstyle
Candles
A candelabra or candle holders
Matches or a lighter
A bucket of water within reach for safety
Common sense (This is fire, so be VERY careful)
Popcorn, skittles, candy etc...

There are TWO episodes coming this month within days of each other because the project had to be broken into two parts. The dress form project got pushed ONE more month (please don't kill me, I'll explain why in this livestream)

I hope this time slot isn't too early for those on the west coast! I was trying to do a more reasonable time for those on the other side of the world :D I'm going to close all my windows and drapes and pretend it's the bewitching hour :))

I can't wait to see you all Saturday!!!

Crimson Peak Movie night! This Saturday the 22nd at 5:00 PM (EST)

Comments

Please please recreate one of the night dresses in this film! They are so lovely and I think with your spin on them they would be absolutely stunning. Could leave one one a mannequin in the house. :)

Rebecca Valentine

I love Guillermo del Toro’s movies. He has such a gorgeous eye for detail, color and mood. They are a pleasure to watch. I think Crimson Peak is my favorite of his creations. Oh goodness! I just noticed my husband messed with my account and my comments are coming up under his name. I am MissNanciG, not Edward. Oops!

Edward Grzesiak

I) Classy pumpkin carving/painting in golds/blacks/whites and grays II) Baking cookies or bread like a lemon/orange pound cake and the smell of mulled wine III) Probably the bottom of Big Bear Lake

John Mejia

1. Any kind of Halloween decoration because it’s my favorite holiday. 2. I would bring my own pillow and it always helps if the host has pets, they always bring a level of comfort to you. 3. I guess since I live close to the coast the best way to get rid of a body would be Dexters method, although I easily get motion sickness lol

Ladda Lohachareonvanich

The dress she is wearing in this video is a vintage Gunny Sack wedding dress. She explains at the beginning of the live stream.

Eris

I agree πŸ’ž That dress is gorgeous

Magdalena Mojica

I would still love an episode on how you stage and photograph these pictures

Desiree Coon

I really do hope you filmed the making of that dress ? It’s absolutely stunning on you ❀️❀️❀️

AliLou Creations

About your idea about making some glass dome cloche-there is something called Ethical Taxidermy I learned about it from Dita Von Tease and Voltaire on his show gothic homemaking- episode "Birds of a Feather"-there are also suppliers that sell ethically taxidermy on Etsy butterflies and moths two of the shops that have them are Art Butterflies and UCStudiosUK

Cheryl Kirkpatrick

Correct. Silly me, I was clearly having a moment! Thanks for the reminder too, I was able to watch it :)

Louise Hartley

Noooooo! I missed it.

Elizabeth Goans

Watched a bit late, but loved it. This movie is a favorite of mine and so fun to watch along with someone who also loves it! Looking forward to the next movie watch along!

Shanna Jirka

Ever worked on old mirror frames?

Denise Annette Henry

Crimson Peak is a feast for the eyes. The sets and costumes are fabulous!

Eve Engle

A frock coat, cravat and a moody 1000 yard stare πŸ˜„

Charlotte Meyer

What is the equivalent gothic maiden realness lewk for a man? I’m afraid a nightgown and Gibson girl lace front will be hard to acquire in the next two or three hours. Candelabras on the other hand...

Ken Gerleve

Happy World Goth Day Everyone! (At least for those in my time zone) what a perfect day for this!! Can't wait!πŸ–€πŸ’œπŸ¦‡πŸ–€πŸ’œπŸ¦‡πŸ–€πŸ’œπŸ¦‡πŸ–€πŸ’œπŸ¦‡

Tilura

Pretty sure it's gonna be 5am where I am, but I'm gonna try and get up anyway.

Teeq

The invite says Saturday evening in North America, so won't that be 7am Sunday for you?

rachemus

I would love even an 8x10 photo copy to purchase. Let me know, its just enchanting!

AnnLeilani#InSoCal

Omg, this photo should be on a print. Can I buy this in a high resolution image? It would make an amazing Christmas card.

AnnLeilani#InSoCal

Tammi Harris-Crocheted Atrocities

Pictures on your IG please, Mina!

Tammi Harris-Crocheted Atrocities

Though I will watch something tamer (maybe Beastly Creatures) I am totally in! I have a white poufy nightie and candelabra that would suit nicely! Xo j

Joanne Zaborowski

I just melt the bottoms of my candles with a flame and then stick them into the holder. When the melted wax dries it sticks the candle in securely. :)

Rebecca Poplewska

Never seen it.

Cinthya Martinez Flinn

Seems way too spooky for me! Will have to join without the movie and watch some zoutlander along side....or Dark Shadows! Sounds exciting though! That is one intense trailer...?

Joanne Zaborowski

I’m sad I’ll have to watch it after the fact!

Melissa McCrummen

Angie Loyd

Woo hoo! πŸ₯³

Sherala

Drat! I won't be home in time form work ( live in the Pacific Time Zone) so I'll have to play catch up. If you can give us any advice on how to flee in terror with our candles but not have them blowing out as we run it would be so helpful. Just hate when I stumble in the dark because my candle blew out and then the boogy man catches me :-)

Marilyn Maier

Haha, 6.30am here in South Australia, so up with the birds too 😁

Liana Palumbo

I was literally JUST complaining about how hard it is for me to get my candles to stand up straight.

Nicholas Frig

I totally want red high heeled fluffy slippers! 😁

Deb McGrath

I have to work that weekend. 😞. To be fair, I have to work every weekend. Hopefully, there will be a Monday -Thursday event happen I can join in with. πŸ˜€πŸ˜‰

Deb McGrath

I love this movie so much! When I first watched it, it was actually the night of a big snowstorm. No better ambiance. If only I had my gothic mansion skirt or a gigot sleeve gown back then...

Trina Montano

Happy Birthday Serena ! πŸŽ‰πŸŽŠπŸŽ‰

Markela Pierce

On the YouTube stream itself! Rather than watching it in patreon click through to YouTube and the video will be there along with the comments. If your YouTube is logged into the same account on your computer and phone the stream will appear on your video history and you can access the chat on your phone through there, that's what I usually do!
