Okay, I will admit it. This was not the greatest planning on my part. I really biffed it. Yesterday was the spooky day, and today is officially Christmas. So, it’s a little weird that we are doing a spooky-themed answer of the day on November 1st. But, no matter.

We all make mistakes, and regardless you guess all had some pretty solid answers, even if I’m doing this a day later than would really make the most sense.

I don’t know what it is about some of your answers, but they really gave me the heebie jeebies. Threatening auras and all that. So, without further ado, let’s take a look at what you all think are the spookiest cars of all time.

ACTUALLY disregard everything I just said. Today is Día de los Muertos. That counts as spooky! Anyway, onto the answers.

The unregistered uninsured Nissan Altima

And in its ultimate form, it will be doing 20+ over with a donut.

Steer clear. A champagne-colored Nissan Altima with no license plate is like a heat-seeking missile aimed directly at your car’s door. It will find you, and it will get you.

The Phantom Corsair. It looks like a car that spends its nights murdering people. Even the name is spooky.

I’ve never seen one of these before, and now I’m upset that I have. It’s so menacing. The Corsair is going to haunt my dreams. I also can’t explain exactly what I mean by this, but I feel like it can shape shift.

I got several in mind but The Car is the one that really freak me out. But I see, someone else already posted this. So I’ll go with Christine.

I don’t fuck with The Car. I’m too much of a big baby. I will happily read the Wikipedia plot synopsis though. I’ll be right back.

Miat

We all know what the answer is

Please do not talk to me if you put fangs on your Miata. It’s cringe. Don’t be cringe, for the love of God.

Harold’s E-Type Herse

For hearses, the E-type from Harold and Maude was particularly haunting, especially with what happens to it at the end of the movie.

For vehicles that will undoubtedly kill you when you drive them, it would have to be the Reliant Robin...

Both of these are very strong answers, but I’m going to have to go with Harold’s Hearse because I love that movie so much. I cannot get through it without crying. If you haven’t see it, you really should.

Used Maserati Ghibli

Very attractive and extremely affordable at first, but look a little closer and you’ll find terrifying FCA parts and switch gear, which will distract you as it very quickly starts to implode limb by limb and find ways to murder you - or at least your bank balance.

If you buy a used Maserati Ghibli, you deserve everything you get. I feel no sympathy for you.

Maximum Overdrive Tow Truck

This tow truck from Maximum Overdrive. Even without the bloody fender, it’s a scary looking truck, but the cherry on top is the compressed air starter. The obnoxious, jump-scare-worthy racket it made while springing to life made this one stand out big time.

I’ve never seen this movie, but I really do not like the look of this thing. I reminds me of the Duel 18-wheeler. Bad vibes all round.

VANS

Nothing screams “lock up your children” like a late-80's, early-90's windowless, rusted out, powder blue van. My stepdad owned one of these (a Ford Econoline) when I was a teenager and I would use it to transport my zero-radius mower to jobs. The perfect juxtaposition of the Chester’s van stereotype and the period-appropriate Lawnmower Man film.

The current gen “Supra”. The styling manages to be both gross and terrifying.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Spooky handling, spooky noises whistling around that cloth top, spooky how fast they rusted and spookiest of all - only three lug nuts per wheel.

Plus most of the ones in my memory are orange, like a Jack O’ Lantern.

Awe c’mon! How could you think so cute could be scary. I love this lil’ fella, and I’m not even that into little cars like this, but even I find it adorable... even if this one is a little dirty

The Gremlin is fine! Just don’t feed it after midnight... or get it wet.

The poster didn’t leave any sort of comment, but I’ve got to agree with them. I sort of wish there was some some way to tell from the outside of a vehicle that autopilot was being used.

Blacked-Out Government Vehicles

Blacked-Out Government Vehicles

Here come the men in black.

In real life, seeing an unmarked black domestic SUV or large sedan with tinted windows and steelies immediately has me thinking “shady government shit is going down.”

And if all you know about “men in black” are the Will Smith movies, you’re missing out on nearly seven decades of lore about mysterious “government” officials riding around in black sedans, silencing witnesses to paranormal or top-secret activity. I live across the river from Point Pleasant, WV, and back in the ‘60s, during the height of the “Mothman” and associated UFO sightings, there were many tales of people being threatened by strange men in suits, driving “official-looking” vehicles.

Whether you believe in it or not is a different story, but seeing a couple of slow-moving tinted Suburbans or Crown Vics cruising your neighborhood would still likely creep you out. Could be your neighbor is a terrorist, could be your neighbor is an alien. You don’t know.

If you see one of these coming at you, your life is about to be different. Who knows if it’ll be better or worse, but it will certainly be different.

The Black Volga. Seeing one meant either you was being tailed by the KGB or someone on your neighborhood would get a free one-way ticket to Siberia.

Nice looking car, though

Nah, if you see one of these coming, you’re about to get fucked up. It’ll be bad for you no matter what.

The truck from Dual.

This is, without a doubt it my mind, the most menacing vehicle to ever make it onto the a screen. Everything about it is absolutely haunting.
