Talking to the man who makes the Upper East Side’s Halloween extravaganzas
If you walk around the Upper East Side in October and notice a Beaux-Arts townhouse with an elaboratedisplay — tasteful, with the lighting just so — or a Hitchcockian window motif, you may just be looking at Marko Matijas’s work. “Once I decorate a house, it becomes a competition on the block,” he says of the decade he has spent transforming the façades of some of Manhattan’s wealthiest addresses.
My background is in floral design for weddings and parties and then I opened up a catering company with a partner. From there, one of the clients asked me, “Hey, can you do décor for my kid’s Halloween party?” That’s how it grew. It was easy to get into that. I know the mechanics and logistics: propping up things, making them look like they’re flying from the roof, figuring out how I’m going to put a witch on top of a building or have skeletons appear to be raining down.
