In most thrillers, we talk about alarming characters like monsters or mad killers; however, did you ever consider a freaky vehicle sending a roar down your spine? Here is a rundown of the most famous vehicles found in pop culture today.
Grave Digger:
This is one of the most notable monster trucks on earth. This truck is featured in this list for its notable exterior, painted with creepy visions, beasts, and headstones. There are not many trucks like these that exist today on the earth; however, this is one incredible vehicle due to its structure and looks used in films!
The Truck (Duel):
The Peterbilt 281-truck is a massive truck with scary features used in the movie “Duel,” a debut film by Stephen Spielberg as a director. This was a truck which was chosen obviously due to its size and huge lights with broad glasses. The concept of a film was a mammoth truck chasing a salesperson who is traveling from California to Plymouth for a client visit. This truck chases the salesman with unknown intentions, and its features justify its selection as a horror-truck!
The truck in Jeepers Creepers:
This truck, utilized in the 2001 American blood and gore movie, is perhaps the most terrifying vehicle. This is an enormous and robust vehicle which a ‘creeper’ uses to crush individuals. It symbolizes the parts of the dead human body, and the ‘creeper’ utilizes it to finish its own body. Creepy, right?
The 1971 CHRYSLER NEWPORT in Joy Ride:
The plot of this film revolves around a character in Lewis Thomas, who is on his way to meet his love, Vienna. While traveling, he gets to meet Fuller, his troublemaking brother. Fuller convinces Lewis to play a prank on a trucker over the CB radio. This trucker, simply known by his CB handle, Eroded Nail, makes this joyful ride a scarier and scarier one.
THE BIRDS – 1950 ASTON MARTIN DB2/4 Drophead Vehicle:
Who doesn’t know about the suspense movies of Alfred Hitchcock? “The Birds’’ is one such famous suspense-thriller. The vehicles used in Hitchcock films irrefutably have killer looks. In this film, you will see Tippi Hedren driving in a stunning Aston Martin vehicle. So far, her trip is enjoyable, however, all of a sudden, when a swarming flock of ferocious birds attack her, then her trip turns out to be a nightmare, and she is stuck inside her vehicle. Not what she would have hoped for in a pleasant outing!
CUJO – 1978 PINTO RUNABOUT:
This film is not something where you can say that the car used in the movie acts as a horror car. The story revolves around a mother and her kid stuck inside a four-wheeler (1978 PINTO RUNABOUT) during a scorching day. They are stuck inside, and whenever they try to get out, a colossal and wild St. Bernard (Cujo) tries to attack them. You can say the vehicle turns into a savior for them instead of a frightening vehicle. Don’t you agree?
Finally:
Most of the cars that were used in horror movies were not only chosen perfectly according to the plot but, additionally, designed by competent professionals. The designing, alongside the features, made those vehicles very popular to those who watched those movies. This is the reason why we remember them quite vividly even today!
