My daughter is turning 8 Oct 2 I wanna take her to carowinds but I know they are having scarowinds is it scary? I don't want her to be scared her first time going.

Any age can go to Scarowinds. You can opt out of going into the haunted houses/mazes, but people in scary costumes do roam the park. You can purchase, for an additional cost, a no scare light up necklace to tell the Scarowinds personnel not to scare your child. I think they are $10 and called No Boo necklaces.

Scarowinds happens from 7 pm until midnight. The regular park hours don't do the scary stuff. They close the park at 5 pm and then reopen at 7 pm for Scarowinds. There is an additional fee to go to the later event and I believe there is an age restriction for Scarowinds.
