Scary at the car wash: car washes prepare for Halloween
With Halloween just around the corner, several car washes are preparing for a terrifying spectacle. From horror figures roaming the car wash to child-friendly ghost experiences; car washes across the Netherlands are putting their creativity to work to offer customers a thrilling experience. In this article, we highlight some eye-catching Dutch Halloween activities, from the Scarwash in Nijmegen to a horror circus in Harderwijk.
ANAC Scarwash on October 30 and 31 is not for cowards. On these days, customers will have a chilling Halloween experience in the car wash at ANAC Carwash Nijmegen. Horror character Scar promises a ride through the car wash “where the brushes have been replaced by knives and the suds are dripping with blood. Visitors can tune in to ScarRadio on 99.9 FM during their wash to be fully immersed in the experience. For those who like things a little less creepy, there will be a special Halloween Kidsproof Experience on October 31. The Scarwash will then be transformed into a kid-friendly haunted experience from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and free vacuuming will be available at the wash bays during these hours.
When the sun goes down, darkness takes over at Bubbles Carwash in Nederweert. On October 25, the car wash will be turned completely upside down during their Scary Night, with terrifying ghouls and exciting characters appearing everywhere. Due to the limited number of tickets available, it is recommended to order them early via the website.
One step further
At SchippersStop’s 50-meter-long car wash in Veldhoven, the images speak for themselves. ‘Last year we scared the hell out of everyone with our Halloween Carwash,’ the car wash proudly reports on social media. ‘This year we are taking it a step further and taking horror to a whole new level with The Madhouse of Shine. Prepare for even more scares, thrills and surprises.” The Madhouse of Glans takes place on October 31.
Mega Carwash Emmeloord is bringing Halloween back to life in the car wash on October 25. “Do you dare to wash your car?” is the challenging question the car wash asks its customers. Like last year, visitors can drive through the terrifying “Tunnel of Terror,” with Mega Carwash offering a special Halloween wash program: the most extensive wash for 12 euros instead of 19.50 euros, including a goodie bag. “We’re packing big, so hopefully you’ll come take a look. Or don’t you dare?” said Mega Car wash.
Niels Autowas normally organizes its horror party in Assen, but this year the horror circus is moving to the car wash in Harderwijk. On October 25 and 26, this location will be transformed into a Halloween experience, offering the best car wash program at a special rate of 16 euros.
No Halloween at ‘t Vosje
Carwash ‘t Vosje has announced that there will be no Halloween event this year. “Due to the incident with our co-worker last month, we do not feel it is appropriate at this time,” according to their post on social media. Last month, an employee of ‘t Vosje was seriously injured in an accident in the car wash. On Facebook, the decision was met with understanding. “We know that many of you look forward to this annual, exciting outing, but this year it is unfortunately not possible to continue this tradition. We hope for your understanding and look forward to hosting another spectacular Halloween in the future,” the car wash announced.
