To say that I was blown away when we walked into BlackCraft Cult would be an understatement. I…read moreremember opening the door and hearing my husband say "whoa." You walk inside and your eyes immediately go up to the enormously gorgeous witch statue that is hanging from the ceiling. I had seen photos and videos, but it is more beautiful in person. It is a tribute to one of the owners and her battle with cancer. The inside is decorated spooky with tons of orange and black everywhere - I wanted to stay here forever. They even had a life size statue of Edgar Allen Poe. They offer a ton of merchandise from apparel to mugs to even stickers and magnets. Everything is pricy as you would expect, but you can only get their items in store so I think it is worth it if you're looking for something unique. BlackCraft Cult also does a haunted house on the weekends during the Halloween season with live scare actors - you can tour it during the week too, but they do not have the actors then. Staff were friendly and helpful! I hope to come back some day to visit again! Check them out!

First, there are two listings on Yelp that are related and have nearly identical names and the…read moreidentical address. This review is for the goth Blackcraft retail place. Upon entering from the charming street, the eye is drawn upward through a massive space that is BlackCraft Salem. There is a great wow factor here! Most surfaces in the room are black, however the ceiling features a large glass area with a suspended life size witch sculpture. There is a pathway straight through the center of the room with children's clothing to the right and more adult sizes in the middle and rear. To the left are seasonal items and the checkout counter. On the left side from the entry, there is a great photo opportunity including a throne surrounded by candles. There is also a life sized Edgar Allen Poe statue on the right side of the room which also makes a fun photo opportunity. There is a good selection of items and sizes. There is an area upstairs that was available for small private events. It looks pretty cool. The coffee counter is in the far right rear corner and requires reservations during the spooky holiday season. (See review for my take about that item) This is a location not to miss overall. I highly recommend the hoodies and purses. This is where the BlackCraft Haunt Ttickets are available, and highly recommend it for adults!

The clothing has beautiful soft pastels, rich jewel colors, high quality fabrics, and well tailored styles.

Great customer service :) The style is on par with a fashionable New Yorker between 20-40. This will most definitely be my new go to shopping destination!

I don't think I've ever found the perfect shade of red and perfect smell for the gossip looks. I want until now. If I had more time (and budget), I would've looked at the jewelry and hair accessories. I will say that the prices were very high. I know that when it comes to Gothic culture and aesthetics, it's bound to cost a lot. I have my own thoughts about that as a whole and capitalism but now it's not really the time for that. I do acknowledge that a lot of the items in the store are from smaller businesses or meticulously made which is why I don't really have an issue with the prices. Just something to take a note of before you come here. Just to give an estimate, I bought five items (none bigger than the palm of my hand) and the total was close to $200. Overall, the people were amazing and I loved the atmosphere. I would love to return here and resupply myself with a lot more items.
