It’s that time of year: The weather’s getting colder, leaves are changing, college football is on TV and that scariest of holidays is fast-approaching. To celebrate, Cars.com enlisted the help of Car Talk’s Tom and Ray Magliozzi to give us their Top 10 Scary Cars of all time. Now, this list doesn’t feature any otherwordly cars out of a Stephen King novel. These are real cars that, for one reason or another, legitimately sent chills down the spines of drivers, passengers and onlookers — like the 1971 Ford Pinto shown here. To find out why it and the other nine made the list, go here.
