THE CAR

It was long before James Brolin became Mr. Streisand. It was long before he put on his overacting clinic in "The Amityville Horror". It was years before the novel, "Christine" by Stephen King and the John Carpenter masterpiece adaptation that followed.

It was "The Car".

For some reason a very large vehicle that is of a rather nondescript and unidentifiable design is possessed by the devil. Why? You got me there.

It is "The Car"

It hangs around peoples houses and revs it's satanic engine and honks it's rather unintimidating devil-horn. It's future victims walk around in the dark and appear shocked, make stupid phone calls, and for some reason, when it's headlights, accompanied by a synthesizer "sting" explode into brightness get frightened beyond all help.

Because it's "The Car".

It waits outside metal graveyard fencing for the innocents hiding inside to come out, for it cannot enter hallowed ground. It's metal. It can wait.

It is "The Car."

At the end, the car falls off a cliff and blows up, and a devilish face can be seen in the rising conflagration emanating from it's detanation.

It is "The Car".

And I stayed up late for it.

And slept like a baby.
