Here in the House of Cruz, we love Fall and most of all, All Hallow's Eve - so much so that these decorations have been up since September 8th. You can probably guess after five years of Creepy Cinema, we love all things spooky. Over the years, we've started to amass quite the collection of vintage Halloween decorations. Markus's favorite go to decoration is blow molds, as you will see in the photos. This year, we scoured the antique markets and were able to find heaps of pumpkin and ghost blow molds and even a cute little skeleton. One of the best finds was a Don Featherstone black cat that we got for way under market price. It was a grave robbery! My favorite part of the house are the Ben Cooper masks that looked perfect with our portrait collection. I like them so much I might leave them up till Thanksgiving! Happy Halloween everyone!
The Upside Down Bar | Logan Square, Chicago
In honor of season 2 of Stranger Things being released today, I wanted to share my photo from the pop-up bar in Logan Square. The bar was just an eight minute drive from our house so we decided to stop in one night to check it out. We went on a Sunday night at 6 p.m. and it was already packed full of people. What I found surprising was the clientele wasn't just the typical hipsters you find in Logan Square, it was mix of all kinds of people. Just goes to show you the scope of people that love Stranger Things. As most of you know, Netflix sent a hilarious cease-and-desist to the owners of the pop-up. It may be shut down now, but may the Upside Down Bar forever live in our hearts.
