THE long-awaited Season 4 of Stranger Things has finally arrived, and with it comes the Upside Down. 

Blurring the line between reality and fiction, Netflix is bringing the #BalikKeTerbalik experience beyond the confines of your screen. This is where the dark forces within the Upside Down threaten to take over KL Tower and Kwai Chai Hong. 

Alongside 14 other iconic landmarks across the globe, KL Tower will serve as a canvas for the Upside Down upon sundown with a projection show teasing scenes from Seasons 3 and 4, before the Rift cracks open and unleashes the monstrosities that had been lying in wait in the Upside Down.

Besides the projection shows, there are also photo opportunities aplenty on the lawn of KL Tower. At the foot of the Tower, a Stranger Things 4 sign greets your arrival with vibrant neon lights before you continue past the tower to a recreation of the mysterious Creel House, complete with true-to-series props and the house’s ominous grandfather clock.

Steel your hearts – at the end of your sojourn through Creel House, you’ll come face to face with Vecna – the big bad of Season 4 – alongside the Mind Flayer and Demogorgon.

The gateway to the Upside Down at KL Tower is open to the public from now until May 29, with the projection show set to play in 30-minute intervals between 8pm and 12am. 

The power of the Upside Down has also spread to a heritage area located just a few kilometres away, starting with a mural installation at Kwai Chai Hong.

Created by Malacca-born artist Amir Andhar, better known as @andha.ras on social media, the mural is sectioned into different “rooms” inspired by key moments from the past seasons.

Keep an eye out for the shift when the sun sets – by nightfall, the Upside Down becomes apparent. Monsters such as the Demogorgon, Mind Flayer, and Season 4’s Vecna step into the light.

Your journey continues through the heritage alley of Kwai Chai Hong, where the area’s usual lighting has been replaced by the famous Byers alphabet Christmas lights. Let the trail of lights lead you over the bridge into the Upside Down to another Rift opening in a deep corner of the laneway. 

Check out the impressive mural and experience the Stranger Things takeover at Kwai Chai Hong from now until June 12 between 9am and 12am daily.

Stranger Things 4: Volume 1 is now streaming on Netflix, followed by Volume 2 premiering on July 1. – The Vibes, May 28, 2022
