You know the one: It's the words “God help you,” but in gesture form. Both looks receive the signature Siriano side-eye. Kenneth, at his station, shoves armfuls of green fabric over a funky polka-dotted mesh.
(On the verge of a breakdown, she strips her mannequin and torches her initial design.) Christian moves on to Zayden, who's slicing up a crisp red fabric that creases and rolls when it moves. “It's Popeye goes west, honey,” he proclaims her horizontal-striped muslin.
He doesn't suss out many victims initially, but once he settles on Katie, he pounces quick. Before long, everyone's back in the workroom, and Christian's stalking around like a panther ready to strike. Practically everyone opts for red or black fabric, which makes Christian want to vomit, but Darren's too busy fantasizing about his inspiration-a woman bathed in blood and sacrificed to Satan-to reconsider his design. After surviving the night with zero supernatural encounters, they head to Mood, where Christian gives them 30 minutes and $500 to pick rich, elegant fabrics that still scream “Edward Scissorhands could wear this,” maybe. The rest of the crew finds their inspirations in decidedly more orthodox details: an ornate gold frame, a snake sculpture, a patterned carpet. Also, I’m single!” and, upon stumbling into a mannequin dressed in a man's clothing, announces, “That’s my boyfriend no one touches him!” As he barges through the house, he exclaims (supposedly to the ghosts), “Excuse me, we’re going through your home. We already know he's hoping to catch Christian's eye, but episode 3 Darren has widened his prospects to.the undead, I guess? Apparently, not only can he “see dead people-that's not a lie,” but he's willing and eager to date one. Apart from a few flickering lights and a creepy doll in a crib, the most unnerving sight at the Bartow-Pell is Darren, on a deranged mission to end his tenure as a single man. Christian claims it's one of “New York's most haunted places,” yet the overnight stay is one big yawn. The competitors are shuttled via van to an initially undisclosed location, which turns out to be the 175-year-old Bartow-Pell Mansion in the Bronx. Once in the workroom, they'll have two days to mold the perfect evening gown, one that's both “haunting” and fit for a masquerade. Mercifully, the multi-millionaire-turned- museum acquisition pulls the theatrics back long enough to set the scene: Our designers will spend the night in a haunted house, where they'll sniff around for inspiration before selecting chic-yet-chilling fabrics the next morning.
Everyone-myself included-is a little unsure what to do with this. To introduce episode 3's challenge, Christian leans gleefully into the camp of it all, popping out of the shadows in a Dracula cape and attempting, several times, to pull off the ubiquitous villain cackle. You're telling me no one wanted to give this iconic robe a couture upgrade? But, alas, the good news: Someone did design a garment fit for Tim Burton's Corpse Bride, so I suppose I shan't complain too much. The bad news: In this week's Halloween-themed Project Runway challenge, none of the designers had the foresight to craft a haute frock for Winifred Sanderson or-come on, folks-Mortricia Addams.
