El Car Wash Becomes a Haunted Carnival
As Halloween approaches, Miami is about to experience a spine-tingling twist to the typical car wash routine. On
October 21, 2026, El Car Wash, located at
6695 W. Flagler St., will temporarily transform into a Halloween haven known as the
Tunnel of Terror. From
5 PM to 9 PM, eager participants will get their vehicles cleaned while being entertained and frightened by characters from the famous
House of Horror. This special event is designed to offer an exhilarating mix of a car wash and a haunted attraction, preparing the community for a thrilling spooky season.
The event promises a night filled with excitement as the wash tunnel is decked out with eerie red lighting.
Howie, the carnival’s infamous villain, along with other scare actors from the House of Horror, will be ready to give unsuspecting car wash customers a fright as they drive through the tunnel. In addition to a sparkling clean vehicle, every car will receive an exciting bonus: two complimentary tickets to the House of Horror Haunted Carnival, while supplies last. This incentive aims to continue the adrenaline rush with access to five chilling haunted houses located at
Tropical Park.
According to Tony Albelo, President of
Loud And Live,
“For 25 years, House of Horror has scared Miami inside our gates. This season we wanted to bring fear to the neighborhood, and a car wash tunnel at night is about as trapped as you can get.” This innovative partnership between El Car Wash and House of Horror sets the stage for a unique Halloween experience that combines an everyday task with a thrilling adventure.
The House of Horror event at El Car Wash is a sneak peek into their upcoming
25th-anniversary season, which promises all-new haunted experiences at
Tropical Park. The carnival will feature attractions such as
Howie's Blind Terror, a haunted dark rollercoaster, unlimited carnival rides, spooky scare zones, and even low-scare options appropriate for families. Additional themed nights and free parking make the House of Horror a must-visit this Halloween season.
