Happy Halloween, everyone! 🎃 Got any epic plans tonight? Any trunk or treating with cool car setups?

Halloween and cars have an awesome history of spook-tacular pairings, from car-themed costumes to haunted drive-ins and even legendary ghostly rides. Many car enthusiasts go all out by transforming their vehicles into haunted rides with spider webs, fake blood splatters, creepy hood ornaments, and glowing lights. Some even dress up as horror icons while driving around town, giving trick-or-treaters and party-goers a fun scare.

Classic horror movie cars like Christine, the possessed 1958 Plymouth Fury, and the Ecto-1 from *Ghostbusters* are now Halloween icons. They’re favorites at Halloween events, whether as replicas or just in spirit. For something more family-friendly, trunk-or-treat events add a Halloween twist to tailgating, where people decorate their cars, pop the trunk, and hand out candy to kids in a fun, safe environment. People get really creative, with themes ranging from mini haunted houses to spooky forest scenes.

The car world has its share of haunted legends, too. James Dean’s "Little Bastard," a Porsche 550 Spyder, is rumored to have brought misfortune to anyone who owned it, while “Golden Eagle,” a cursed 1964 Dodge 330, has been linked to strange accidents. Haunted car shows are another Halloween tradition, where the dress code isn’t just for people. Classic cars roll through haunted neighborhoods, and many towns host Halloween-themed car shows with ghostly decorations.

In recent years, some gearheads have started transforming their vehicles into apocalyptic rides perfect for a zombie outbreak, adding “armor,” weapons racks, and emergency supplies. Halloween is the ideal time to show off these creations, blending automotive creativity with a bit of survival flair.

Do you have any favorite spooky car traditions, or are you planning something special with your ride this Halloween?
