Toorak’s fabled $80m “ghost mansion” was filled with zombies, werewolves and naughty angels as more than 400 influencers and young entrepreneurs descended on the up-market suburb for the Halloween house party of the year.

The private party, thrown by Stake.com co-founder Bijan Tehrani, was held at 29 St Georges Rd on Monday night with “every hot influencer in Melbourne” there, along with US rapper YG who put on a private show for guests.

Mia Fevola, Jordan De Goey, James Hachem, Tommy Bugg, Sam Guggenheimer, Jasmine Tavares, Hannah Dalsasso, and Shaun Wilson and Tess Shanahan (dressed as Hugh Hefner and a playboy bunny) were among the invited stepping through the gates of hell.

Even police ended up at the spooky party following noise complaints from nearby neighbours.

“Police attended a property on St Georges Road in Toorak after a noise complaint around 12.15am on Tuesday, 1 November. No offence was detected,” Victoria Police said in a statement.

The strictly invite only bash, referred to as ‘Bijan's’s Deadly Disco’, saw guests sign an NDA on arrival – what happens at the party, stays at the party.

Of-the-moment Japanese restaurant Yakimono catered the event with cocktails by Nick & Nora’s.

The ‘ghost house’ was extravagantly dressed with staging and a dancefloor, bars, a Roulette table, a photo booth, upside down neon crosses, a makeup room with five makeup artists on stand by for guests, and roaming zombies and werewolves to add extra spookiness to the night.

The Toorak property, which has been an unfinished 19 bedroom mansion for years, was bought earlier this year by Ed Craven, the other co-founder of Stake.com.

Stake.com is one of the world’s most successful online cryptocurrency casinos.

Previously published reports state that Craven intends to demolish the skeleton home and build his own trophy property on the site.

The party was one of the hottest topics of conversation in the Flemington Birdcage during the week with plenty of partygoers whispering of the extraordinary night over champagne in the marquees.
