A Bit of Spook and Horror Here

Did you know that our parameters do not just lie within the Chicagoland area? We work with clients across the country and even across the world. Given our love for travel, there is nothing that Kris loves more than a reason to classify an expense as tax deductible. Such as last spring, when I had the pleasure of visiting Mariane Ibrahim's gallery in Paris. Anyhoo, back to the spooky stuff. I met Ryan and Chloe over two and half years ago when they were visiting Chicago to find a second location for their oddity museum and retail shop. Naturally on brand, Ryan was looking for something niche and specific. The right place had to find him, not the other way around. We traveled to Savannah to understand the Graveface feel and habitat. R&D if you will. It also took several trips to Chicago, failed lease negotiations, and an instance of cold feet before the perfect location plopped in front of our eyes. Before moving to the south, Ryan started his career in Chicago, running an event space out of the 1900 block of North Milwaukee Ave. He really wanted to land in that vicinity, ideally that street. Then when a car boot company moved out of their retail storefront office located at 1829 N. Milwaukee after 16 years, we knew exactly who to summon to the space before turning it to the market. What was the medium we used? Craiglist... |

Graveface Chicago
Graveface Records & Curiosities Chicago is a multifaceted shop with several distinct areas of interest covered within its walls. Graveface started as an artist-driven record label in 2002 and has since expanded into several other areas of niche interest that can be experienced as a retail store front in Savannah, GA (est. 2011) and now in Chicago.
Graveface Chicago carries a hyper-curated selection of new and used vinyl, vintage collectables, curiosities, occult books, and more. There's also dedicated section for the NeverNotGoth imprint of Graveface which offers goth decor, accessories, apparel, and a selection of vinyl records that fit under the goth umbrella.
Beyond these two sections there's a mini horror shop, oddities museum, and fully functional video rental shop.
Terror Vision started as a record label in 2012 focusing on releasing obscure soundtracks of horror/oddball movies lost to time and has since expanded into a blu-ray releasing company. The Terror Vision room covers all things horror from collectible action figures, decor, signed posters, original one-sheets, blu-rays/DVDs/VHS, and more.
The museum portion of Graveface explores the human condition and unusual parts of recent history ranging from sideshow history, cults, natural history/anomalies, and death row art and the criminal mind. The Graveface Museum is home to an archive of thousands of artifacts and documents from these topics which are curated into rotating exhibits throughout the museum portion of Graveface.
Graveface and Odd Obsession Movies are proud to bring back video rentals to this neighborhood. After 20 years in business Odd Obsession closed their doors in 2020; Graveface Chicago now houses their video archive and offers a full video rental service, curated to lean heavy on horror, sci-fi, oddball, independent/obscure cinema.
Location: 1829 N Milwaukee Ave. Chicago, IL 60647
