As a devoted fan of Carrie Preston and her enchanting portrayal of Elsbeth Tascioni, I am utterly thrilled about the upcoming Halloween episode of CBS’ Elsbeth this fall 2024. The first look at the scene has me beaming with joy, as Elsbeth dons a stunning Audrey Hepburn costume that is reminiscent of her iconic role in Breakfast at Tiffany’s.
CBS’ series “Elsbeth,” set in fall 2024, is getting into a spooky spirit for Halloween, but Carrie Preston’s character appears less frightening than festive in a sneak peek from the upcoming episode. In the spirit of “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” Elsbeth will be donning an Audrey Hepburn-inspired outfit on October 31st. Although the trailer hints at a gruesome murder investigation, actress Carrie Preston shared her joy in filming this Halloween special and showrunner Jonathan Tolins praised the team effort behind it.
The Halloween special of “Elsbeth” is titled “Devil’s Night.” It begins with a party-loving former child star waking up on Halloween, unsure if she committed murder during her blacked-out night. As Elsbeth and the team investigate, they follow the woman’s steps to uncover the truth of that fateful night. The preview hints that Elsbeth and Kaya will be in agreement about the case. In an amusing turn of events, the main character spends the entire episode dressed as Audrey Hepburn’s cat-loving character from “Breakfast at Tiffany’s.
During my conversation with Carrie Preston regarding the season 2 premiere’s suspenseful ending, it was recently disclosed by CBS that a Halloween-themed episode was in production. She opened up about her experience filming while adorned as Audrey Hepburn, embodying one of her most famous roles, by saying:
The costume turned out surprisingly comfortable as it was custom-made just for me by Dan Lawson, our talented designer. He selected a remarkable fabric that was incredibly comfortable to wear. Additionally, John Kristiansen’s renowned costume house in New York constructed the dress and collaborated with me to create zippers that were flexible for my convenience. Given that I would be wearing it throughout the entire episode each day, I’m glad to report that it held up exceptionally well! [laughs]
Perhaps Preston drew inspiration from Hepburn, yet her Elsbeth costume seemed considerably easier to wear compared to the classic Tiffany’s outfit. It’s worth noting that the costume goes beyond just the dress, pearls, and gloves; there’s more to it. Interestingly, during filming, the actress found her prop to be an enjoyable surprise.
What stood out most to me was the cigarette holder, adorned with a false cigarette at its tip. This seemingly ordinary item transformed into a significant prop for Elsbeth, serving as a tool for indicating, gesturing, and even providing comic relief when I used it. The unexpected charm this item brought during my performance left me thrilled as an actor.
Fret not – Elsbeth using her cigarette holder doesn’t imply she’ll give up her iconic tote bags for Halloween. Since she sported them throughout the entire first season (now available on Paramount+), it seems unusual to imagine her without them! If you’re curious about her complete Audrey Hepburn costume sans bags, have a peek:
As a gamer diving into this year’s spooky season, I find myself lucky that Halloween lands on a Thursday, making it perfect for CBS to air the chilling episode of Elsbeth on the very day itself – October 31st. The showrunner, Jonathan Tolins, even shared some behind-the-scenes insights with TopMob, revealing how they managed to bring the fall holiday to life during filming over the summer.
In the past, we’ve found ourselves dealing with unusual situations. For instance, last year, we organized a tennis tournament in the heart of winter. Everyone was bundled up and there was steam rising, so we transformed it into an indoor tournament. It was quite peculiar, I must say [laughs]. We had to act as if everything were normal. Similarly, we shot golf scenes during extremely cold weather. Thankfully, Halloween wasn’t much of a challenge since costumes solved the problem. However, it gets tricky when we need to decide whether all the trees should have bare branches, suggesting winter, or still be leafy, hinting at fall or even Christmas. But our design team is exceptional, and they manage to pull off miracles.
It appears that not all Elsbeth characters are expected to don costumes during the Halloween episode, given how challenging it seems for Captain Wagner himself to choose an outfit for such occasions. However, the showrunner did mention that the main female character will sport the Hepaudlin style consistently throughout the episode.
Throughout the entire episode, Elsbeth remains in costume, representing her beloved character from a movie set in New York City, and the events unfold within a single day.
Among the numerous films set in New York City, is there one that resonates more with Elsbeth’s personality than “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”? This was a question Jonathan Tolins pondered while deciding on the Audrey Hepburn-inspired look for the Halloween episode. He shared his thought process with me, and it seems quite logical. Here’s what he said:
We say that it’s the movie that made Elsbeth fall in love with New York.
Fortunately, the wait to see just how Elsbeth Tascioni celebrates the spookiest day of the year is nearly over. You can find the Halloween episode of Elsbeth on Thursday, October 31 at 10 p.m. ET on CBS, immediately following a new episode of Kathy Bates’ Matlock. The fourth season of Ghosts is set to premiere that night as well, immediately following Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage.
