Check out our list of some of the spookiest cars in TV and movie history. 

Tumbler — The Dark Knight

The Batmobile is almost as famous as Batman himself. Like the lead character, the Batmobile also has seen multiple updates and changes to its appearance over the past few decades. One of the latest iterations, the “Tumbler” was heavily featured in the 2008 film,The Dark Knight. This particular car was quite different from its predecessors, taking on more of a militaristic vibe than ever before. Most notably, this is one of the only Batmobiles to date to not feature batwings somewhere within its design. However, the tank-like appearance coupled with the matte black paintjob made it appear as menacing as ever before.  

Imperator Furiosa’s War Rig — Mad Max:Fury Road

While the Mad Max franchise has featured a number of mean looking vehicles, the one that has really stood the test of time is the “War Rig”. This truck was constructed by combining together a Tatra truck with a Chevrolet Fleetmaster. It had 18 wheels with six-wheel-drive and was powered by twin V8 engines. The front was outfitted with a mechanized shovel and spikes all around. While this large tanker already looked malicious, the icing on the cake was the human skull adoring the front of the vehicle.  

Creeper Truck — Jeepers Creepers

This truck was based on a Chevrolet COE. In the movie, the villain uses it to attack the car of the lead characters. It was also used by the villain to transport dead bodies. While the truck itself looks rusted and battered, it represents the presence of the devil in the movie. For viewers of this movie, a glimpse of this truck is enough to make the skin crawl. 

Chevy Nova — Death Proof

This was a typical Quentin Tarantino movie, featuring some really gruesome unbearable scenes. The plot revolves around a stuntman using his death-proof car to murder young women and plotting these as accidents. The car used was a 1970 Chevrolet Nova painted in a dark matt scheme. The highlight was the skull logo on the tank in contrasting white. While the Nova is a classic muscle car, the killer character behind the wheel made it dreadful.
