Some cool classic cars you may see in horror movies this Halloween PAGE 4 Halloween, the annual celebration of everything spooky, is upon us once again, which means a good many people will watch horror movies in the coming days. While they’re chock full of scary scenes, teenage victims and knife-wielding maniacs, a lot of horror movies feature cool classic cars, particularly those filmed in the 1970s and ‘80s. Here’s some of the best cars we saw while getting the pants scared off us. Happy Halloween! 1958 Fury – Christine We had to start this list off right. After all, Christine – based on a Stephen King novel of the same name – is a horror movie all about a possessed car responsible for the deaths of a slew of unfortunate characters. Fun fact: About 20 cars were used in the film, most of which were not Furys. Instead, legendary horror director John Carpenter used two other Plymouth models, the Belvedere and Savoy, dressed to look like Furys. 1959 Cadillac Miller-Meteor ambulance – Ghostbusters Not all Halloween movies are terrifying. Ghostbusters was a comedy hit and the Cadillac ambulance in the film has been an object of fan fascination since the film’s release. We’re serious. Few comic conventions are held without a replica Ghostbusters car parked outside, complete with the correct ECTO-1 license plate from New York. Of course, these probably run better than the original car, which actually died during filming – on the Brooklyn Bridge, of all places. Aston Martin DB2/4 Drophead – The Birds The name Alfred Hitchcock is synonymous with hor- ror, just as Aston Martin is with classic cars. While we could write an article just on Hitchcock’s use of vintage vehicles (maybe next year), the DB2/4 Drophead Coupe is likely the crème de la crème. Introduced in late 1950, the DB2/4 is a later version of the DB2 that had a revised rear chassis and smaller fuel tank. Like the one driven in the film, it was offered as a . It may seem like a bad decision to drive such a car when you’re worried about demonic birds, but just look at those curves… 1977 Volvo 245 DL – Beetlejuice Like all Tim Burton movies, Bettle juice walks the line between horror and comedy, all with some zany visual twists. One of those (at least on this list), is the Volvo the Maitlands crash into a river. Spoiler: The crash is fatal and the Maitlands go to the Netherworld, where they meet Betelgeuse (aka Beetle Juice). Honorable mention: 1967 GMC TDH 5303 –Hocus Pocus Given Hocus Pocus’ growing status as one of Halloween’s must-watch movies, it had to be included on this list. We could have added the generic Ford Explorer or the admittedly cool Kawasaki KZ 1000 P, but the bus scene is one of the greatest parts of the movie. It’s full of lewd jokes, the bus is a unique standout in a 1990s movie and it proves Thackery Binx can’t die. Um, spoiler?
