Christine

Stephen King is a funny fella. He's written a slew of iconic horror stories, sometimes directed by himself, usually not, thank goodness. This time, it's the master of horror, John Carpenter!

Plot: Christine is a red and white Plymouth Fury car. We initially see her coming off the assembly line in the late 1950's and she wastes no time. She's rather a mischievous girl. Already miffed from birth, she kills one of the factory workers. The years roll by and she ends up in a yard as a rusting, old, beat up beast...until she's rescued by a geeky kid. They bond, they kill, they have fun...what's not fun about a devilish car that kills the folk you hate?

Budget: $9,700,000

Gross: $21, 017,849

Fun Fact: Alexandra Paul (Baywatch chick) is the girlfriend. Music, as ever, by John Carpenter too.
