Hooniverse Asks- What’s Your Favorite Scary Car?
Halloween is almost upon us, and that doesn’t just mean hobgoblins and ghosts, but scary movies and egging trick or treaters from your car. And if you choose to do that, you’ll need a ride befitting all hallows eve, what would be the best one for that duty?
Of course there’s lots to choose from from Hollywood and TV. Christine, the demonically possessed Plymouth Fury might seek you out, while the filthy 18 wheeler from Duel would simply hunt you down. Even the car from The Car would probably seek you out.
Other creepy cars would probably wait for your arrival – Kitt from Knightrider, for instance. Or maybe Tony Soprano’s SUV. Whatever the car, either movie or real, what Halloween calls for is one uber creepy ride, something that’ll really scar the crap out of the kids right before you hit them with the tiny samonella grenades.
What’s your favorite creepy car that you wish you could cruise in this halloween, and if you’re going to a party, what are you going as? All ladies must post pics of their costumes. Guys, I know you’re going as either Richard Petty or some sort of Star Wars character.

Scares the hell out of me right now.
But Phantom Corsair is an incredibly cool name. Only Vigilante Tomcat could have been better.
I've always been partial to it's stage name, the "Flying Wombat."
Not to be confused with a "Combat Wombat."

I'd like to name at least one or two of my kids that.

Ms. Satan likes to take her brood of little demons to torment school and scare practice in this.

Daimler Double Six. I know for a fact it's what Satan and his henchmen roll up in.

Oooo, nice! That's my idea of an elegant ride. What could we do to make it a triple 6?
I usually give these a really wide berth, especially the blacked out HIPO version… <img src=http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQkGv9m1qmZUyIFGb7MkgP7eDNZosBELwzJuafF2Wq5DX6H3eo&t=1&usg=__eAjmniCrEeG6C5BKQYzewh4A_rI= width=500>
Not so much for the car (which is nonetheless quite imposing), but more for the ghosts of its probable riders.

Viper ACR-X frightens me.
'Jeepers Creepers' truck. Stupid stupid movie, but it still scared the bejesus out of me.
But I don't take to scary movies well.

I'd give this a little more room on the highway and since it was predetermind that we are going as a Star Wars character.

Malta Van,- This site even told me it was creepy, but it is also awesome lest we forget

Malta Van is Both Creepy and Awesome
For a moment I thought my browser had closed – that photo is my wallpaper.
Yeah, creepy and awesome nail it. The blocked off side window areas really heighten the 'creepy' factor.
Peterbilt Vs. Valiant
that truck from Duel
If any of you haven't driven an early 70s american car there pretty scary too.

Dare you look under the carpets?
Dare you peel off the underseal?
Dear you trace a wiring fault?

She'll kill you in the end.
It would surely be a slow death.
Once you start, the torture never stops.
Continuing in the truck vein, this guy:

Enter cheap shot at any LeMons racer. But I love them too much for that.
Lord Humungous truck thing from Road Warrior/Mad Max 2.
<img src="http://madmaxmovies.com/cast-and-crew/road-warrior-cast/Kjell-Nilsson/Humungous.jpg" width="500">
I would say most of the vehicles from Mad Max and the Road Warrior are scary cool. Lord Humungous himself is just plain scary. Two of my favourite flicks of all time.
"All ladies must post pics of their costumes." Here's hoping for some Princess Leia, and you all know the outfit we're looking for.
Shelby Cobra 427 Super Snake….because it WILL kill you, if you let it!__<img src="http://wickedcars.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/shelby-cobra-427-super-snake-1966.jpg">
The two-wheeled version: different equation, but the same result:

I believe you. It's beautiful, but it still looks like imminent death on 4 wheels.
This is quite obviously owned by a hillbilly chainsaw serial killer.

Looks like a v8 up front, driving controls from a Quad, a geodesic roll cage, and room for passengers. What's not to love?
The unknown baddies in the 1974 film Slither shadowed James Caan in a pair of Rectrans Adventurers. It might not look it too creepy in this picture, but they were painted flat black in the movie and looked pretty ominous.

Improper application of the skinny pedal on the right can scare the crap out of me.

What? Seriously, what?
A poorly maintained '83 Chevette, driven along Windsor's Huron Church Drive (part of the busiest border crossing in North America. Will it accelerate without stalling? If it stalls, leaving me in the path of a rampaging 18-wheeler, will I be vaporized on impact? Will it stop? Will it poison me with gases?
DUH.

There could be no better answer…on so many levels.
Damn! That'll give me nightmares now, you bastard!

Alternate: My 75 Eldorado convertible jumped out of park when the engine was running and I was outside the car. It built up a fair amount of speed before I was able to wrestle it to a halt. It ran me over in the process, and I was hospitalized for two and a half weeks, and unable to walk for another two months after that.
While I was convelescing, I watched a lot of TV, including three showings of Christine. Somebody asked me if I was going to crush the car after I got better, but now I'm afraid of it coming back to finish me off.
Seems pleasant enough…

Not "favorite." Just "scariest."
I think this should have been what the Daleks look like in the new Dr. Who:
