DETROIT -

To help with Trick or Treating and more, OnStar hopes users incorporate its new special technology into their Halloween celebration.

Officials want users to avoid “zombies, vampires, werewolves, witches, ghosts and any other ghouls that may cause havoc this Halloween” with OnStar’s new “Monster Dodger” service.

Specially trained OnStar Advisors can help “save you from that herd of undead” by doing their best “Thriller” in the road ahead or provide turn-by-turn directions to the nearest costume shop.

“Halloween is a fun holiday, and our new Monster Dodger service reflects that,” explained Terry Inch, director of OnStar Subscriber Services.

“This year, in addition to OnStar providing help to subscribers who need directions to the closest costume shop or convenience store to pick up candy, we are offering families an entertaining button push opportunity,” Inch continued.

On Monday, subscribers looking for a Halloween treat can push their blue OnStar button and ask for the location of the closest “monster” so they can dodge a potential encounter. Advisors will provide the radius of the closest “monster.”

OnStar is joining with other organizations such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the Halloween fun.

On its website, the CDC recommends a creative Zombie Preparedness Kit to help in the event of a zombie attack. 

“Although a zombie attack maybe farfetched, our advisors are available 24/7 to help drivers with any emergency or service request they may have,” Inch added.

“We’ll continue to see customers through emergencies and less-serious situations — whether outpacing a zombie herd, or directions to a Halloween Monster Mash,” Inch concluded.
