Don’t forget to stop by House of Body Art where Ramone is celebrating Dia de los Muertos. A car out in front of the shop is decorated for the Day of the Dead and tires are planters for marigolds.

movie posters

As you explore Cars Land, be on the look out for some movie posters! Some pretty well-known Halloween films have been adapted to the Cars world. You’ll see movies like Hocus Spokus and Haulin’ Mansion.

radiator springs

At the end of the road near the entrance to Radiator Springs Racers, the Fire Dept. has been decorated as well! The Stanley statue now wears a witches hat, the garage doors of the building have orange cones for teeth, and the windows look like eyes. At night, those windows even light up to make the building look alive!
