The infamous Ritz Cinema in Sydney will be transformed into a terror abyss straight from the depths of the ocean as The Kraken Black Spiced Rum takes over the venue this Halloween – Wednesday October 31st.

I guess you can call Huxtaburger a pioneering business.

Though unlike some others, Huxtaburger’s popularity has…
