Halloween is a time of the year that is fun and entertaining for both children and adults alike. From spooky hayrides to haunted house tours, come late October, most cities are filled with Halloween happenings for families and friends to enjoy. Of course, all of these events and activities are just a prelude to the main event: Halloween night itself. In some places, the night of Halloween is an absolute free for all, with parties and parades and, of course, trick or treating. After all, no child can truly feel complete until he has stuffed his trick or treat bag with enough miniature candy bars to fill up an entire supermarket snack aisle. These days, even older kids who once scoffed at the idea of dressing up and begging for sweets are now jumping back on board to get a piece of the Halloween action.
Halloween has become such a booming industry in and of itself that these days, even limousine services are beginning to hop on the holiday bandwagon. Some companies have recently introduced the idea of haunted limo rides. The concept is simple yet incredibly creative. First, you decorate a limo with fake cobwebs and other such popular Halloween paraphernalia. You then put together a soundtrack of scary music and creepy sound effects, dress the driver up in costume, and get ready to roll. Children are bound to love the spooky limo atmosphere, and parents can save themselves the trouble of decking their own houses out in Halloween décor by offering an “on the road” alternative.
The great thing about haunted limos is that they aren’t limited to children alone; plenty of grown-ups also like to indulge in an eerie atmosphere. Since Halloween happens to be a major party night for adults without kids, a haunted limo is the perfect compliment to a night full of fun and fright. Those who hire haunted limos get the added benefit of not having to worry about how they’ll be getting home after a crazy night of wine and spirits.
Of course, putting together a haunted limo takes a fair amount of time and effort. Chris Welsher, the owner of the Missouri-based company Murcielago Limos, is happy to do his part to ensure that his customers are able to make the most out of the all too limited spooky season. In fact, every October, Welsher runs a “haunted house special” that caters to both adults and kids. Welsher and his team will stock their limos with plenty of (no-alcoholic) drinks and decorate the limos to suit the season. They’ll add in some Halloween music and movies so that by the time their first customer enters the limo, the haunted environment is set. Best of all, he completes the package with a special seasonal rate that leaves plenty of money leftover for parents to buy enough Halloween candy to satisfy even the hungriest of locals.
While riding around in a haunted limo is an experience unto itself, many customers are also able to make good use of the transportation. Some people like to arrange haunted house limo tours, where the passengers are transported back and forth between the various haunted houses in the area. Other customers might use a limo service to take the legwork out of trick or treating. In areas where houses are spread out, a haunted limo can actually come in quite handy by facilitating the trick or treat process and helping children fill those candy sacks to thebrim. Regardless of the reason for hiring a haunted limo, one thing’s for sure: It’s bound to be a frighteningly fun time for all of the lucky passengers on board.
