Too Bad It Wasn't Car 54

THE CAR-1977-A driver-less car of death terrorizes a Utah community. The car indiscriminately kills various citizens including two bike riders, a French horn playing hitchhiker and the town sheriff (John Marley). Deputy Wade Parent (James Brolin) is left to figure out the mystery. The vicious vehicle attacks some grade school kids rehearsing for a parade. Their music teacher Lauren (Kathleen Lloyd) also Wade's girlfriend calls the evil auto a chicken. When the car won't enter a cemetery another deputy (Ronny Cox) surmises that it's some kind of entity but Wade doesn't believe him even after it kills Loren. Later Wade confronts the sinister sedan in his own garage. A wife beating redneck (RG Armstrong) provides explosives that spell a fiery and demonic end to the rampage. Terrible. 

Ok, I'm not going to speculate how Eliot Silverstein, the director of CAT BALLOU and A MAN CALLED HORSE wound up doing doing this low budget piece of junk but much of his later work was episodes of TV shows (like TALES FROM THE CRYPT) and TV movies. You figure it out!
