Today is the spookiest day of the year. No, it’s not Halloween. It’s the release date of the second season of the critically acclaimed Netflix Series “Stranger Things,” and to commemorate, the Oxford Circus underground station has been transformed into the paranormal space known as the “upside down” on the show.

For the uninitiated (and don’t worry, we’re not spoiling anything), the upside down is kind of an alternate dimension full of monsters, and general darkness and terror. So, an underground train stop is a pretty appropriate place to advertise for it.
The station’s train schedule fades from normal to covered in black, uh, scary goo, transporting fans and commuters into the television show’s universe, whether they want to go or not.
