Classic Hitchhiker Movies

Gives new meaning to the term "roadkill."

Up ahead, outlined by the headlights, a stranger stands on the side of the road. He looks innocent enough. Besides, no one should be outside in the pouring rain on such a cold night. You click on your turn signal, pull over, then reach to open the passenger door...but what are you letting into your car? A harmless kid who needs a lift? Or your worst nightmare?
