My wife is the ultimate connoisseur of all things "haunted" this time of year. If it's a haunted house, haunted trail, haunted bridge, haunted jail, haunted hospital, etc., she and our son have found it and survived its terrors. That being said, I never heard of her going to a haunted carwash. Through Halloween, the Aquawave Express Carwash in Belmont, North Carolina, transforms into the "Tunnel of Terror."
The fun takes place each weekend (Friday-Sunday) from 7-11pm. The Aquawave Express Carwash in Belmont is located at 6415 West Wilkinson Blvd. The cost is $30 a car with a portion of the proceeds benefitting The Holy Angels. Their ministry provides specialized, round-the-clock care for children and adults with intellectual developmental disabilities and delicate medical conditions.

So, come out and support a fantastic cause in Belmont while enjoying some great, haunted fun. It's the "Tunnel of Terror" taking place at The Aquawave Express Carwash at 6415 West Wilkinson Blvd. The fun begins at 7pm and continues through 11pm.

6 Of The Most Terrifying Haunted Attractions In North Carolina
Scared yet? Spooky season is upon us which means it's time to plan your Halloween fun. And what is Halloween without visiting at least one Haunted House, trail, or attraction? Why watch a horror movie when you could experience it for yourself? There are many haunted attractions in North Carolina, so chances are there is one near you. Some are haunted houses or indoor mazes. Others are outdoors through corn mazes, woods, or perhaps lakeside. And the best part? Most of these haunted locations have a number of attractions so you get lots of scares for your money.
I've chosen to highlight six of the best-haunted attractions in North Carolina. These are all in the greater Charlotte region, within about an hour and a half drive from the Queen City. And even if some of these are a little far- they are worth the drive for sure! Each location on this list offers something unique and is either one I personally have visited or has come highly recommended by friends! As with any haunted experience, the goal of these attractions is to find any way to scare you. One even says if someone hasn't peed their pants by the end of the night well they didn't do their job. So these are not for the faint of heart. Most have restrictions and will not allow children under the age of 12 to visit.
So visit or enter at your own risk. If you dare. Keep reading to see 6 of the best haunted attractions in the Charlotte North Carolina region. Have an attraction you love that I missed? Be sure to reach out to us on social media to let us know! Happy Haunting.
