The phrase references the increasingly popular trend of temporary, location-specific events staged during the Halloween season. These events allow individuals and families to experience Halloween-themed attractions and activities from the safety and convenience of their vehicles. A typical example would be a decorated route through a park, farm, or parking lot featuring displays, actors, and potentially contactless treat distribution.
This type of event offers several advantages. It addresses accessibility concerns for those with mobility limitations. Furthermore, it has proven especially valuable in recent years by providing a safer alternative to traditional Halloween festivities, mitigating health risks associated with close contact and large gatherings. The concept has evolved from simple trick-or-treating alternatives into elaborate, immersive experiences, reflecting a broader societal adaptation of drive-through models.
