20 Horror Movie Characters We NEVER See

Time for a deep cut now, with 1977's cult classic The Car, in which a mysterious black vehicle goes on a rampage, indiscriminately killing the residents of a small town.

The driver of the 1971 Lincoln Continental Mark III is never once seen throughout the film despite the efforts of the townsfolk to figure out who is behind the wheel.

And while The Car has often been compared unfavourably to Steven Spielberg's (admittedly superior) 1971 debut Duel, which similarly features a driver whose identity is never revealed to the audience, this film ultimately takes on a wild supernatural bent.

In the finale, when the car is apparently destroyed by an explosion, a seemingly demonic force can be briefly seen amid the flames, though its form is ultimately too ambiguous to be clearly identified.

And honestly, the lack of a concrete explanation for what was driving the car is probably for the best - we know it's something supernatural and seemingly diabolic in origin, and that's really all we need to know.
