Spanning four decades of film production, these horror/suspense classics feature the requisite plot twists and unexpected frights of the genres, yet we suspect you can guess just what our favorite parts are, all told.

That's right, the classic trucks, from the 1960 Peterbilt fuel hauler in Steven Spielberg's feature debut, "Duel," to the killer (literally) 1989 Freightliner FLC in the Australian "Road Kill" flick, with its sweet button tuck and, well, penchant for murder.

Though Overdrive strives to be your source for daily trucking news and equipment, business and regulatory information -- subscribe to the daily newsletter at this link: [ Ссылка ] -- today we’re here just for fun. Sometimes, it’s fun to be a little bit scared, right?

For the most part, these films are more about suspense and psychology than blood and guts, and while these movies may vary in tone, as noted our favorite parts of all of them are the classic trucks. They’re all best watched in the dark at a lonely rest stop, so pull over, kill the lights…
