The Haunted Car is a title re-released in the Classic Goosebumps line. The story centers on a seemingly ordinary, used car that turns out to be possessed or haunted. The young protagonist or their family acquires the vehicle and soon discovers it has a mind of its own—a dark, malevolent mind. The car attempts to control its driver, lock the passengers in, and even steer them into dangerous situations, becoming a terrifying, rogue mechanical predator. The book relies on a high-concept, everyday-object-turned-evil plot, typical of Stine's style, providing a suspenseful narrative about the creeping horror that can invade the most mundane aspects of suburban life.
