2018 October Horrorupdates Intro
Ever wonder what a NASCAR version of "The Shining" would be like? No? Well, regardless, @nascarcasm came up with classic horror films with NASCAR plot twists.

2 of 8

2018 October Horrorupdates Exorcist
Jack Roush calls on a priest to come by the race shop to exorcise the vile, demonic entity that has possessed the No. 60 car so that it can maybe finish one race.

2018 October Horrorupdates Blairwitch
A trio of students set off on a quest to film footage of an alleged coven of witches who inhabit the dense woods. They get horribly lost and at night they are terrorized by unseen beings. Turns out they accidentally wandered into Dale Jr.'s car graveyard and the unseen being was just an over-eager Gus humping their tent.

2018 October Horrorupdates Jaws
Requires very little imagination. Only issue might be the scene where Denny sees a lobster then makes a plea to get a bigger boat. That might not come off as believable.

2018 October Horrorupdates Fridaythe13th
Jason Voorhees ditches the hockey mask for a racing helmet, which provides greater comfort and protection, and with the addition off the cool box, allows him to terrorize Crystal Lake without getting too warm. Furthermore, if he's out of weapons, he can just throw the helmet at campers. Win-win, really.

2018 October Horrorupdates Shining
Instead of a hotel isolated in the mountains, the film follows young NASCAR drivers as a multi-day weather system keeps delaying the race, and they descend slowly into madness as the Fortnite server suffers a system-wide error, and then their WiFi stops working altogether, at which point they start writing "ALL RAIN AND NO RACE MAKES BLANEY A DULL BOY" in a note on their phones over and over.

2018 October Horrorupdates Thering
Dale Earnhardt Jr. has a phobia of metal jewelry so it's literally two hours of drivers chasing Dale Jr. around with a ring while he shrieks.

2018 October Horrorupdates Texaschainsaw
Leatherface wreaks havoc on a Texas farm up until he is informed of the newly-implemented guideline that only traditional battery-powered equipment may be used by disfigured lunatics. Leatherface is disappointed, but rules are rules.
