BOO! A Spooky Gallery of Halloween Hearses

All Hallow's Eve! El Dia de los Muertos! Halloween! It's that time of year again, when there's a chill in the air and children's thoughts turn to making the goriest vampire and witch costumes. Here at Autobytel we know that cars can be creepy too - so let's take a look at some of the automobiles that might just go bump in the night even when they are turned off, starting with this line-up of classic hearses at the National Museum of Funeral History in Houston, Texas. Muahahahhaha!

A Ford rat rod was crawling with creepiness at LeMons in Monterey this past August.

Driven by Frankenstein, it seems to have found a rather ghoulish drive-in brains and burgers joint.

Also at LeMons, be sure to wear garlic around the Syren art car; this one's got fangs and methinks it wants your blood. Or your skull.

A haunted mansion on wheels, this rat rod at the Riff Raff Riot in Long Island was covered in grimacing gargoyles.

This Lincoln Continental doesn't seem very scary at first. After reading the "Kthulu" vanity plate, though, you realize it's named after H. P. Lovecraft's terrifying tentacled entity.

Quite the frightening skull perched atop the air filter at 2012's Rust Riot.

Scary monster or super freak? A very detailed werewolf doubles as a hood ornament.
