**The Car** is the titular main antagonist of the 1977 horror film of the same name and its 2019 sequel *The Car: Road to Revenge*.

The Car in question is a demonic black 1971 Lincoln Continental Mark III modified by the late George Barris, known for modifying custom cars for film. The car has no visible driver; it is strongly suggested that the car itself is animate, possibly an incarnation of either the Devil or some other demon, or that such an entity was the driver of the Car. The Car existed to destroy and like many horror antagonists was almost completely unstoppable, despite the heroes' best efforts to defeat it.

The sound effects for it were provided by Dennis C. Salcedo.

## What Makes It Pure Evil?

### The Car

* It drives down the road and targets two bicyclists cycling on a canyon: at the bridge, the car proceeds to knock one cyclist off the road, and ram the other from behind, catapulting him off the bridge. A hitchhiker, hoping to get a ride, encounters the car and insults it after it purposefully tries to run him down. In response, the car runs over him several times and leaves. T
* he local sheriff's office, called to the first of a series of hit and run deaths, gets a lead on the car that appears heavily customized and has no license plate, as pointed out by Amos Clemens after he sees it run over the hitchhiker.
* It runs over the sheriff, leaving Chief Deputy Wade Parent in charge. During the resulting investigation, an eyewitness to the accident states that there was no driver inside the car, furthering Wade's confusion.
* The car enters the town and attacks the school marching band as it rehearses at the local show ground. It chases the group of teachers and students into a cemetery. Curiously enough, the machine will not enter onto the consecrated ground as Lauren taunts the purported driver that any of the townsfolk have yet to see.
* Seemingly angered, the car destroys a brick gate post and leaves. The police chase the automobile along highways throughout the desert before it turns on them, destroying several squad cars and killing five of Wade's deputies in the process. Wade confronts the vehicle and is surprised to see that none of his bullets put a dent on the car's windshield or tires.
* It kills Lauren when it jumps driving straight through her house and rams her, right when she is speaking to Wade over the phone.
* It pursues Luke into a mountainous canyon area where his remaining deputies have set a trap for the machine. In a final confrontation, Wade and Luke, at the edge of a cliff, bait the car into running straight at them, then jump aside as it goes over the cliff.

### *The Car: Road to Revenge*

* It embarks through a dystopian cyberpunk city for vengeance on his murderers.
* After killing each member of the gang, the car goes on a vicious rampage across the city until the remaining gangs use cars and motorbikes to corral the car into an old quarry where Talen smashes it before Daria pushes it over a cliff into a lake below.
* At the lake's bottom, the car's headlights turn on, implying that the car will return to cause more corruptions.
