Location: Doncaster

3. Kelham Island Museum’s Haunted Tours

For older kids (and brave parents), Kelham Island Museum offers a hauntingly good time with its Halloween tours. Discover the dark history of Sheffield’s industrial past while keeping an eye out for ghostly figures. You never know what (or who) might be lurking in the shadows!

Famous Cars from Horror Films: The Spooky Showroom

Now that we’ve covered some of the best places to go for a spooky day out, let’s shift gears (see what we did there?) and take a look at some of the most famous cars from horror films. These four-wheeled nightmares have starred in everything from creepy classics to modern horror flicks!

1. Christine – The Killer Plymouth Fury

Stephen King's Christine (1983) is a film about a 1958 Plymouth Fury with a mind of its own... and not in a good way! Christine's gleaming red paint job and ability to repair herself after every accident would be cool—if she wasn’t a car bent on murderous rampages. If you ever see a Plymouth Fury flashing its headlights at you, run!
Spooky Factor: 10/10

2. The Ecto-1 – Ghostbusters’ Ghoul-Mobile

Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters! Ok, this one’s less about horror and more about ghost-busting fun, but the Ecto-1, a 1959 Cadillac Miller-Meteor ambulance, has earned its place as one of the most iconic spooky cars. It’s not evil, but it’s definitely paranormal, and it’s the perfect ride for chasing down ghosts and ghouls around South Yorkshire. Just imagine pulling up to the next Halloween party in this bad boy!
Spooky Factor: 5/10 (but fun factor 10/10!)

3. The Munster Koach – The Munsters’ Ride

Anyone who’s seen The Munsters TV show knows about their iconic car, the Munster Koach. This custom-built hot rod was created from three Model T Fords and has that spooky, gothic look perfect for cruising around a haunted mansion. And let’s face it, if Herman Munster could drive it, it’s good enough for us.
Spooky Factor: 7/10

4. The Death Proof Nova – Tarantino’s Terrifying Ride

In Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof, the 1970 Chevy Nova is driven by none other than a psychotic stuntman, and the car is his weapon of choice. While it might not be haunted, it’s definitely deadly. Tarantino fans will appreciate the over-the-top stunts and the sinister vibe that this car brings to the big screen. Just don’t accept any offers to go for a "quick spin."
Spooky Factor: 8/10

5. The Mystery Machine – Scooby-Doo’s Adventure Van

Alright, we had to include this one for a bit of Halloween fun! The Mystery Machine might not be from a horror film, but this bright green and blue van has chased down more monsters (well, technically criminals in monster costumes) than any other vehicle in TV history. Plus, we think it’d make an epic Halloween costume for your car—just grab some paint, pile in the kids, and solve some mysteries around Barnsley!
Spooky Factor: 2/10, but it’s a classic!
