The event begins at 5:00 p.m. and goes through 10:00 p.m. The business states "while you let our machines do the car cleaning, look around to see your favorite scary characters and scenes come to life!" The tunnel will be child-appropriate from 5:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., so head there early if you have little ones — after the sun goes down, the scare factor will go up! (All Events)

Patch deal of the day:

Good knives make all the difference in the kitchen, but you don’t need to overpay for them. Seido Japanese knives are made with strong high-carbon stainless steel (high-carbon knives are more durable and usually more expensive) and have an acute 15-degree angle for a noticeably sharper cutting face (most Western-style knives have edge angles of 25 degrees). For a limited time, Patch readers can get a 5-piece Seido Japanese master knife set for 71 percent off. At just under $70, this chef-quality set is perfect for any home cook and would also make a great gift for the holidays.
