cross-reference bingo!

So at LepreCon this weekend, probably at the "Killing Your Characters" panel, matociquala was talking about the Demon Logging Truck that cruises Hollywood movies looking for convenient victims, and I said, "It's the truck from Duel!"

There's a problem with this, of course, in that at the end of Duel, the truck goes over a cliff, and we see the wreckage.

There is a Supernatural episode (Route 666, I believe) about a ghost-truck that had become so infused with the hatred of its owner that it kept killing after the truck and driver had been killed and sunk in a swamp.

When I was a slip of a girl, about 37 years ago, I drove over 30 miles on a narrow two-lane behind a, although perhaps not the, demon log truck. She had a double trailer, and the logs on the rear trailer stuck out over the back end about six feet. I gave up all hope of passing when I saw what happened to the Ford Mustang behind me that got impatient and pulled out to pass us both. The driver cut back in before the oncoming livestock hauler full of hogs hit him, but I suspect his car seat, as well as his trousers and underwear, was a total loss.

Do not mess with demon log trucks.

There's a Stanley Ellin story about that.

Over here in New Zealand we take precautionary measures against demonic logging trucks by ensuring all of our roads meet a quota of precipices and hair-pin turns. It seems to work.
