Cobblestone Car Wash of Doom Oct. 27 and 28 Multiple Valley locations If you’ve ever been in a car wash and thought, “This could be spookier,” you’ll want to roll into one of three Cobblestone Auto Spa locations Halloween weekend. The Car Wash of Doom experience includes a light wash, plus eerie music and creepy characters. (For a less-scary time more suitable for kids, flip your hazard lights on as you go into the tunnel.) Cost is $15 for Cobblestone Unlimited members and $20 for nonmembers, and $2 from every nonmember purchase benefits Boys and Girls Clubs of the Valley. Since cars don’t receive much of an actual wash, the ticket price includes a voucher for a free Polish & Shine wash for use at another time, and every car receives a discounted oil change voucher to use on a future visit. Hours are 6 to 9 p.m. on Oct. 27 and 28, at the following Cobblestone locations: 5050 W. Bell Road, Glendale; 3235 E. Queen Creek Road, Gilbert; and 9969 S. Priest Drive, Tempe. Visit cobblestone.com. Howl-O-Ween Sunday, Oct. 29 Two Pedal Haus locations Call us corny, but we’ll never get tired of seeing animals in costumes. If you feel the same, bring your pup (or just yourself) to Howl-O-Ween at the Tempe and Chandler locations of Pedal Haus Brewery. From noon to 4 p.m. on Oct. 29, attendees can enjoy some beers and feast their eyes on a bevy of costumed canines. Guests who bring a dog in costume get their first beer for $1, and Pedal Haus will be giving away gift cards to the winners of the costume contest, which includes categories for best superhero costume, owner and dog matching outfits, spooky costume and movie-themed costumes. During Howl-O-Ween, 50% of sales of Day Drinker Light Lagers and Watermelon Margarita will benefit local animal charities. The participating Pedal Haus locations are 730 S. Mill Ave., Tempe, and 95 W. Boston St., Chandler. For more information, visit pedalhausbrewery.com. ‘The Raven’ at Rosson House Tuesday, Oct. 31 113 N. Sixth St. Halloween is one of those holidays built on traditions. Hence all the costume- wearing, pumpkin-carving and candy- collecting fun that occurs during the spooky season each year. One local Halloween tradition worth checking out is “The Raven” at Rosson House, which will feature members of Arizona Curriculum Theater reading Edgar Allan Poe’s 1845 poem inside the Victorian-era building at Phoenix’s Historic Heritage Square. The annual Halloween night event, which is in its 15th year, will occur every 20 minutes between 8 at 10 p.m. Tickets are $20 per person. Visit poefest.org. ‘Night of the Living Dead’ Tuesday, Oct. 31 Orpheum Theatre, 203 W. Adams St. There’s no better night of the year to watch a classic horror movie at one of Phoenix’s oldest and spookiest theaters. George Romero’s “Night of the Living Dead,” about a group of strangers who take shelter in an abandoned farmhouse when the zombies start to rise, starts at 6:30 p.m. at the Orpheum Theatre downtown. Considering the many ghost sightings at the Orpheum over the years, it should be a spooky good time. Cost is $16 for adults and $11 for children, and proceeds go to help preserve the theater.
