Drive Thru Haunted House Keeps Halloween Spirit Alive

Families looking for something new to do on Halloween can bring their kids to The Tilbury Auto Mall for Trick-or-Treating on October 31st, and they won’t even have to get out of their vehicle.

But don’t expect a fast-food drive-thru window approach. This Halloween experience is going to be something completely different, and hopefully the start of a long tradition beyond 2020.

Tilbury Chrysler, Lally Ford and Lally Chevrolet will be transforming their service bays into three unique drive-thru Halloween experiences: a toddler friendly route at Lally Chevrolet focused on super heroes and cartoon characters; a moderate scare factor route through Tilbury Chrysler; and, a higher scare factor route through Lally Ford. Visitors are welcome to tour any single one, or all three if they choose.

“We’re going to have contactless trick or treating stops at each dealership,” said Tilbury Chrysler president Tom Mayhew. “The kids don’t even have to get out of their vehicle.”

“We don’t want to spoil the surprises, but we’ve got some fun, pandemic friendly ideas for ‘handing out’ our treats,” added Adam Lally. “So, if you’re not comfortable with the idea of your kids going out door-to-door this year, this is going to be a very safe alternative, and still a whole lot of fun. And if you are going door-to-door, plan on making us one of your stops too.”

Complete details of how it will all work are available on both the Tilbury Auto Mall website as well as the group’s Facebook page, but here’s the basics:

This FREE event will run from 6-8:30 pm. Everyone is welcome. Wear costumes if you want, but they’re not required.
