A 1983 novel by [[Stephen King]] that was also adapted into a feature film in the same year by [[John Carpenter]]. The basic premise is that the [[Unlucky Everydude|most unpopular guy]] in a Pittsburgh area high school buys his first car, much like any other teenager the world over. The problem is that his car is [[Yandere|extremely and psychotically attached]] to him. The novel details his transition from normal, if nerdy and unhappy, teenager into a somewhat popular greaser loner, and eventually into a lonely psychotic as the the car and the ghost of the previous owner begin to exert an ever increasing amount of control over him.
