Road trips are meant to be a fun way to vacation, but they can also be a source of stress due to being cramped together in a vehicle for hours on end. Especially if tensions are already high among the family involved. Throw in a haunted RV while being stranded in the desert? Well, that’s a road trip straight from hell.

This is exactly what happens for the estranged family at the center of The Toybox, from ClownTown director Tom Nagel. The Toybox stars Denise Richards, Mischa Barton, and Matt Mercer.

The Toybox opened in Los Angeles on September 14th for one week at Laemmle’s NoHo 7, and made its way on to Blu-ray, DVD, Amazon Instant, iTunes, DirecTV, Comcast, Optimum, Dish, and Google Play on September 18th, giving plenty of options to dive into one of horror’s more fun, and less celebrated sub-genres; the haunted vehicle.

To get into the spirit, we look back at horror’s 5 most memorable killer vehicles.

The Car

The definitive car horror film that inspired films like Duel and Death Race 2000, this one sees a mysterious black vehicle terrorizing everyone it comes in contact with in a small town in Utah. The 1971 black Lincoln racks up a high body count, running down bicyclists, squad cars, and just about anything else it can. It’s left to the local sheriff, played by James Brolin, to stop what’s revealed to be a possessed car. Sadistic and Satanic, just the way murderous cars should be.

Nightmares: “The Benediction”

This underseen horror anthology from 1983 has two segments that revolve around vehicles, but it’s the third segment that wins the prize as most intense. “The Benediction” stars Lance Henriksen as a priest facing a crisis of faith in the wake of a small boy’s death. Like The Toybox, the priest’s journey has him squaring off against a haunted truck that chases him across the desert. This car, though, is driven by Satan and it wants to take the priest to hell.

Maximum Overdrive

Written and directed by Stephen King, this sci-fi horror sees machines suddenly springing to life and turning homicidal after the Earth passes through a comet. It’s a human against machine sci-fi horror comedy that sees Emilio Estevez lead a cast of survivors fighting for their lives against the likes of every conceivable machine come to life. Lawnmowers, soda machines, gas pumps, and everything in between. But it’s the Happy Toys Green Goblin truck that won the most iconic villain of the film.

Duel

This directorial debut by Steven Spielberg was a made for television movie based on Richard Matheson’s short story. Set in the Mojave Desert, the film is a tense cat and mouse chase that begins with the lead protagonist, Mann, carelessly passing up a tanker truck on the road. The driver of that truck gets the worst case of road rage ever committed to celluloid, and relentlessly pursues Mann, trying to enact murderous vengeance. It’s extremely suspenseful, made scarier with the realization that this could happen to anyone.

Christine

The most beloved horror movie about a possessed car of all time, this adaptation of Stephen King’s novel of the same name benefitted from the directorial prowess of John Carpenter. The now iconic Plymouth Fury is a jealous, demonically possessed car, bonding with and then transforming the nerdy boy next door, Arnie Cunningham (Keith Gordon), into someone willing to murder to keep his equally murderous car. Between King’s source material that gives Christine such a distinct personality and Carpenter’s cinematic approach, it’s no wonder why this killer car film is a classic.
