In the past, [everyone from reality tv celebutante Kim Kardashian West to cult actor Kyle MacLachlan has shown up to the soiree, dressed to the nines](http://time.com/4994083/the-celebrity-costume-hall-of-fame-for-heidi-klums-annual-halloween-bash/). However, the real star of the night, as might be expected, is Klum herself, who never balks at going to extremes to pull off a look, whether it means using body paint or turning to prosthetics to create a show-stopping ensemble. This year, Klum opted for an eerie replica of Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” look, down to doing the elaborate dance routine with a crew of the “undead.” Meanwhile celebrity guests came attired in costumes running the gamut from a bloody Fabio (Dylan Sprouse) to La Catrina (Heather Graham).
