OBSERVE THE SATANIC SPEED LIMIT WHEN YOU'RE DRIVEN CRAZY BY "THE CAR" -TONIGHT!

OBSERVE THE SATANIC SPEED LIMIT WHEN YOU’RE DRIVEN CRAZY BY “THE CAR” -TONIGHT!

Posted on July 1, 2023

Buckle up for a ride with a violent vehicle that leaves no one any defense against its fenders- when citizens of a small desert town are plagued by the deadly and devilish driverless destruction of- "The Car"!

In 1977, "roadkill" movies seemed to be in vogue, with "Christine" and "Maximum Overdrive" in theatres- and they were joined by this film (which opens with a quote from the late leader of "the Church of Satan"!? ) – which starts out serenely enough with two bicyclists cruising through a canyon-when a mysterious black car seems to decide that the road isn’t big enough for all of them! Soon after, a French horn-playing hitchhiker finds out he can’t compete with the strange car’s horn- in the worst way!

Sometimes the channel with MeTV comes in just fine, and sometimes it doesn’t. MeTV doesn’t seem to be a channel that I can stream. As for the movie itself, I haven’t checked to see if it’s a freebie.

I don’t watch Svengoolie for the movies; I watch Svengoolie for Svengoolie. His commentary is what keeps me coming back.

Enjoy your weekend.

Edit: one of the replies at the website said that the fryndly tv app carries MeTV programming. I’ll look into that.

More editing: it’s frndly TV, and it’s not free.
