Halloween has become big business for retailers, with the National Retail Federation predicting that consumers will spend a record $13.1 billion this year on candy, costumes, decorations and visits to haunted houses.
Now even those retailers that traditionally didn’t nab much Halloween business are getting into the spirit, trying to scare up some of those trick-and-treat dollars for themselves.

A growing number of car washes are transforming into Halloween haunts this year. A good example? Tommy’s Express.
The national car wash chain transformed several of its car washes into haunted attractions this year. The chain’s Tunnel of Terror car washes popped up in the Midwest with locations in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, Tennessee and Wisconsin. The chain also opened its Tunnel of Terror car washes throughout Texas.
These haunted car washes include towering skeletons, slashers from popular horror movies, demons, flashing neon lights and plenty of fog and screams.
