“Evil has many forms, now it returns as, The Car.
A car possessed. Who knows what it wants? They all know nothing can stop… The Car.

Happy Friday everyone! It’s good to be back in the swing of things after the holiday. I hope your new year is living up to the hype so far.

Try not to have nightmares!
See you back here Monday morning.
