Post here your films of where a journey goes bad, or vehicles are out to kill. It can be any mode of transport. Trains, planes, cars, ships, even bicycles. Here is the first:  Horror Express (1972) - Train - A train journey on the Trans-Siberian Railway descends into terror when an anthropologist brings aboard the frozen remains of a creature he has discovered. Starring Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee and Telly Savalas. |

One of the first that comes to mind, for me, is Duel. It's a made for TV movie, directed by Steven Spielberg from 1971 about a random driver terrorized by a semi truck. Really well done and intense, proved you didn't need gore or T&A to make a good horror movie. Totally recommend it.  |

There are stories from movies, like there's Dead of Night from 1977 by the same guy that did Trilogy of Terror, Dan Curtis. EDIT: Dan Curtis also dfirected Burnt Offerings which I didn't know and is one of my favorite movies.
"Three imaginative tales involving a vintage car that transports its driver back to 1926; the mistress of an old mansion terrified by vampires and a mother tormented by the spirit of her dead son."
The car story was OK, but nothing great.
Than there's Tales That Witness Madness from 1973 about a guy who inherits a possessed bicycle. Alright for an anthlogy and a young Joan Collins, but not nearly as good as Tales from the Crypt.
"In a late night meeting at his modern asylum, Dr. Tremayne (Donald Pleasence) receives visiting colleague Nicholas (Jack Hawkins) and recounts the histories of four unusual patients whose cases he has solved. In "Mr. Tiger", Paul (Russell Lewis), the sensitive young son of wealthy but constantly bickering parents, befriends an imaginary tiger. In "Penny Farthing", antiques dealer Timothy (Peter McEnery) inherits a penny-farthing bicycle which seems to have time travel capabilities, as overseen by the apparently haunted portrait of Uncle Albert (Frank Forsyth). In "Mel", Brian (Michael Jayston) prominently displays a human-shaped dead tree in his home as a piece of found art, angering his jealous wife Bella (Dame Joan Collins). In "Luau", flamboyant literary agent Auriol (Kim Novak) hosts new client Kimo (Michael Petrovitch). Despite Auriol's overtures, he seems more interested in Auriol's beautiful daughter Ginny (Mary Tamm). As Ginny leaves for a mysterious holiday, Kimo's assistant helps Auriol prepare an elaborate luau for Kimo."
Lots of good stories tucked away in some older anthologies, and Amicus is awesome.
