Halloween sometimes horrific, sometimes hilarious

People get more creative every year in decorating their yards for Halloween, mixing hauntingly scary images with humor.

This year, the Haunted Hall is focused, amusingly, on Muskegon’s lost gold conspiracy. Every Friday and Saturday in October from 7-10 p.m., folks can come to the Lakeshore Mall for a scare. It costs $15 with $1 off for each canned good brought for donation to Love Inc. (3 max.)

The 2019 Haunted Tunnel at Van’s Car Wash on Apple will take place Nov. 1-2 (also 7-10 p.m.). Because of the large volume of cars expected, Van’s is holding its fifth annual expanded event when the car wash is not operating. All proceeds from the $10 admission go to Pioneer Resources.
