thepittsburghchannel.com has posted a list of the "scariest inanimate movie" list. Object number four is none other than our favorite 1958 Plymouth Fury -- Christine.
.
The list includes, The Refrigerator From 'Ghostbusters' and other horrific wonders. But honestly, Christine could wipe out that fridge!
.
The article says that King is a master of the everday object comign to terrifying life. Roger Ebert joked that King would soon announce his new book would be on the garage door opener to the famed Amityville house. Funny, Roger!
.
I like this line, "Jokes aside, the Plymouth in Christine is just plain evil. It's so evil it kills an assembly worker as it is being put together in the auto plant. Twenty years later, the car goes on a killing spree, driving itself around and taking out high school kids left and right."
.
By the way, Christine is not an "IT" (that's Pennywise), Christine is a She. But we'll let that slide.
.
The film has a silly premise, but in the hands of director John Carpenter, who also directed the horror classic "Halloween," it is able to transcend the premise and deliver quite a few scares and thrills.
