Benjamin Leatherman Haunting from p 23 haunts and $38 for admission plus a fast pass that will cut down on wait times. 13th Floor Haunted House 2814 West Bell Road 602-456-2250 13thflooraz.com North Phoenix’s 13th Floor Haunted House offers two distinct state-of-the-art haunts within its 6,500-square-foot location. There’s “Midnight Mania,” where you’ll be stalked through a condemned house by a masked slasher and members of his cult, both of whom are in search of fresh victims to sacrifice. Meanwhile, “Daywalker” features a bat-like ancient vampire seeking to “rule over every warm- blooded being on Earth” and “quench his endless thirst” (for blood, we assume). In other words, you’d better move fast while journeying through the haunt unless you’d like to become a human-sized juice box. Hours and prices: Operates nightly through Halloween, except October 10, 11, 12, 17, 18, and 24. Hours vary. Admission is $27.99 to $32.99 in advance. You can add a fast pass for $10 more or skip the lines alto- gether for an additional $20. Fear Farm 6801 North 99th Avenue, Glendale 623-866-5378 fearfarm.com Fear Farm is not only the largest and longest-running Halloween destination in the Valley, it’s also the scariest. The 26-acre attraction boasts five different haunts — including the abattoir-themed “Chop House,” a post-apocalyptic called “Nuketown,” the sideshow-like “Outcast Carnival,” and the nautical-oriented “Legends of the Deep” — it’s populated by more costumed fiends than a Spirit Halloween store. You can also stumble through “The Reaping,” a 20-acre corn maze populated by psychos and monsters, or hang out at a midway area with food vendors, roaming characters, and live entertainment. Some of the creepy creatures you’ll encounter outside of 13th Floor Haunted House. Hours and prices: Operates nightly through Halloween, except October 10 and 17. Hours vary. Admission is $27.99 to $32.99 in advance. Fast passes are an extra $10 while skip-the-line privileges are $20 more. Scarizona Scaregrounds/ Fright in the Lights 1901 North Alma School Road, Mesa 480-444-2590 scarizona.com frightsinthelights.com A pair of terrifying experiences await at Mesa’s Scarizona Scaregrounds, the largest haunted attraction in the east Valley. At “Mayhem in the Madness,” you can encounter a chaos-filled hell realm containing “clowns, blood, guts, gore, [torn] human flesh … and other shocking experiences.” If you’ve got some adren- aline left, “Startled Darkness” allows you to walk through a pitch-black environment where constant sounds, jolts, and unseen scares will get your heart pounding with fear. Anyone who isn’t afraid of the dark before entering definitely will be afterward. If you’d rather have some Halloween fun behind the wheel of your car, Scarizona’s owners are also offering the Frights in the Lights drive-thru, where you can cruise along a mile-long path deco- rated with illuminated ghosts, pumpkins, spiders, and more. Hours and prices: Scarizona Scaregrounds opens at 6:45 p.m. October 7 to 8, 14 to 16, 20 to 23, and 27 to 31. Closing times vary per night.

ROCK DOWN TO ELECTRIC AVENUE: 2022 HYUNDAI IONIQ 5 N ow in the streets there is violence. And, and a lots of work to be done. No place to hang out our washing. And, and I can’t blame all on the sun. Oh no, we gonna rock down to eclectic avenue and then we’ll take it higher. Oh, we gonna rock down to electric avenue and then we’ll take it higher. The 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Limited is awesome. Gives you a futuristic Looks: Pick-Up: Handling: Comfort: Passenger Comfort: vibe but still has a little throwback feel. I wish it played Electric Avenue on repeat because the Ioniq 5 gives off those vibes. The exterior looks futuristic but not douchey and the interior doesn’t scream “I’m in an electric vehicle, look at me” but has a cool, design and style. You can get about 265 miles on a full charge which is decent but I’d love to see that number be around 350. I hate not having a charging RATING (out of 5 McFly’s) Access to Controls: Safety & Security: Sound System: Bells & Whistles: Overall: 2022 HYUNDAI IONIQ 5 Questions? Feedback? Email me at [email protected] • Follow me on 25 station at my house but since I just test electric vehicles every so often, they are a pain in the but to charge. The only way to roll in an electric vehicle is to have one at your home that you charge nightly. Otherwise, they don’t fit into the American lifestyle, yet. Priced at $55,920, the Ioniq 5 is worth it but a little more expensive than the Mach-E. phoenixnewtimes.com | CONTENTS | FEEDBACK | OPINION | NEWS | FEATURE | NIGHT+DAY | CULTURE | FILM | CAFE | MUSIC | PHOENIX NEW TIMES OCT 6TH–OCT 12TH, 2022
