Now that fall is in full swing, Halloween will be here before you know it! The team at our Phoenix area Volkswagen dealership knows that you’re running around picking up candy, choosing costumes, and planning your holiday, and that those plans include trunk-or-treating for many of our friends and neighbors.
Trunk-or-treating is when a community gathers as a designated area, like a public parking lot, and opens up their trunks for little ones to go trick-or-treating from car to car. This makes it easier for parents to keep an eye on kids and ensure that they have a safe holiday. Of course, if you plan on participating in a local trunk-or-treat event, you’ll probably want to decorate your vehicle for the occasion. Here are a few of our favorites!
A Halloween Spooktacular
Goblins, ghouls, and spooky ghosts are all Halloween favorites. If you want to go this route, things can be as simple or as complex as you like. Some cardboard tombstones and fake cobwebs are easy enough, or you can go all out with a portable fog machine and inflatable monsters.
Reusing old halloween costumes is a good move here, too. Hanging spooky costumes from your open trunk with fishing line or thread can be an easy way to create specters that move with the breeze.
The Classic
Of course, Halloween doesn’t always have to be scary. Decorating your favorite Volkswagen vehicle with some fall favorites can capture the Phoenix area’s autumnal spirit, too. Pumpkins, hay bales, and even a scarecrow can quickly turn the area around your car into a scene from your favorite pumpkin patch.
Better yet, all of these things can be easily transferred to your front porch or yard afterward to keep the spirit going after you head home. Just be ready to run through your trunk with a vacuum!
The Last-Minute
Don’t have time to run out for Halloween-inspired decorations? No sweat! Just like a Halloween costume, your theme doesn’t have to be related to the holiday. Simply pick a theme and grab whatever you have around. Love sports? Hang some jerseys from the trunk lid, lean your gear against the trunk, and fly a pennant for a makeshift theme.
Whatever you go with, be sure to take photos! If you’re ready for a treat of your own this Halloween, be sure to contact Lunde’s Peoria Volkswagen by calling (602) 714-3968 to schedule a test drive in a vehicle you’re sure to love all year long.
