THAT HONKING OF THE " HORN " WAS ENOUGH TO 😱 SCARE IN OF ITSELF.

1) Christine
2) The Car
3) The Wraith
My holy trinity of scary car movies

This is one of my favorites, loved it since I was a kid. I was 9 years old when this came out. 77 was a great year for movies

There was an episode of Futurama called the Honking in which Bender was turned into a Were-car. The episode was an homage cross between The Car and An American werewolf in London. Worth checking out!

I watched that movie in 77 at the young age of 8yrs. Scared my mule back then. Now 47yrs later, love this move. Good video.

NO other horror car movie can ever top *THE CAR!* Neither "Christine." *"THE CAR"* shake mountains and could go 0-60 in 3.4 seconds on a rainy day.
*Thanks for the memories with this one.* 🤗👍

Being a 54 year old Gen X'r, The Car is definitely one of my favorite movies of all time. My first time seeing it was the edited version when it came out on TV, as everything in my life at the time was Star Wars. This is around the time my budding love for horror was taking shape. I didn't become the full horror geek till later on in life, but The Car is very fondly remembered. I don' t remember much of how I felt at the time, but I do remember hating The Car and placing my bets with, and hoping for humanity. I remember all the characters struggles and of course hoped for the defeat of The Car. I think it's time I watched The Car again. Thanks!

I think it has the best car V8 engine sound ever put on movies when it's racing across the desert. It just sounds fantastic.

The thing that made the car so creepy is that it was obviously from Hell, as it was bullet proof, it had no driver, it could not enter hallowed ground, it showed up unexpectedly like the boogey man, and in the climactic end when it exploded, the face of the devil can be seen in the fire. All those supernatural elements make it an awesome scary movie and a cult fave.

I saw this movie in high school back in the late 70s.
This is absolutely one of the most underrated movies ever !! The scene where the car is in the garage and the headlights come on, still haunt me to this day.

The Lincoln it self looked brutal. Even without the custom desing

[vanbilly]

Great choice to post! Much appreciated!
That car scared the absolute hell out of me when I saw it as a teenager. When it ran over someone, it didn't just run them over once. It backed up and made sure there was nothing left alive.

I actually did see this in the theater when it came out in '77. I was 9 and never forgot this movie. One of my favs

[wkanost]

I saw this in 1977 at my local theater which was walking distance from home. So my sister and I walked to the theater and back home, looking over our shoulders for THAT car! Ha! It was such a a fun horror movie. It is one of my favorite guilty pleasures and I own an ERTYL 1:18 scale model of it. Fun stuff! Thanks for sharing.

I saw that movie on TV when it came out. 👍🏿It really freaked me out but I loved that ominous horn.😬😁🤣

I own this movie on DVD! And remember getting to see The Car at the drive-in when I was a kid! And boy, did I love it!

[tylee]

I was a kid when this came out. Our local TV station ran it on a Saturday for the Creature Feature hour. That ending scared me to death! Never forgot about it. Loved it cause it was a Lincoln....our family had Lincolns. I searched for years for The Car until I finally found it. It's now in my personal movie collection.
