*** After thinking about it, there are no shortage of songs that would work. "Just A Girl" by No Doubt, "With or Without You" and "Daddy's Gonna Pay For Your Crashed Car" by U2, "In Your Eyes" and "Steam" by Peter Gabriel, "Red Right Hand" by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds", "Heart-Shaped Box" by Nirvana.

Notably, there could be quite a few nods to other 1990s films and television shows such as "Disturbing Behavior" and "The X-Files".

** Or, since it hasn't been mentioned, it can be a second adaptation of the novel that's truer to the book, including the setting of 1979 and keeping Christine as a 1958 Plymouth Fury (maybe this time, using the 1957 Plymouth Savoy 4 door model being rebranded as a '58 Fury, as King made Christine a 4-door Fury, which never existed in real life).

** Or, you could consider this less a remake and actually a distant sequel. Christine's crushed remains, forgotten, end up getting sold for scrap, recycled and part of the unibody of a new 1994 Laser or 1998 Talon made in Japan and imported back to the United States. 25 years later, Christine is very much back to her old tricks. Her radio could play both 1990s ''and'' 1950s music to bridge the gap. Maybe even have certain elements of the Fury show up in the Talon/Laser such as her interior and exterior colors and her V emblem.

** The music is the tough one. Is there anything more apropos than "Itty Bitty One" or "Rock and Roll is Here to Stay" as taunts?

Adding details on why a 1990s sports car from a defunct car company can be just as threatening as a '58 Plymouth.

Or, if the truck was lifted, Talon's lower profile could cause her to launch a lifted truck into the air or into a roll-over crash if she ran at it head-on.

** As to menace. Besides the factory radio that would only play 90s hits, we have a pure-bred sports car whose menace is in precision. No scraping the walls or screeching rear-wheel-drive burnouts. Imagine a predator that would spool up its turbo and pounce on all four wheels after its prey. Before crushing Moochie, we have that turbo spooling up and then... pounce! She strikes right into his midsection. Not only that, but she doesn't even need to crush herself to get at him. Being smaller, nimbler and faster makes her even more dangerous. "He got hit so hard that he split in half. They had to scrape him up with a shovel."

* If we're talking about a Plymouth, there's the Plymouth Laser produced from 1990 to 1994 which is a rebadged Mitsubishi Eclipse. Those are rare, unique and they're pretty damned fast too in RS form (Turbo-charged with all-wheel-drive). So why not a 1994 Plymouth Laser RS with a 5-speed manual transmission in autumn red? It would be a suitable update to the Fury as both are top-of-the-line performance models and a formidable performer against modern vehicles. Being supernatural and capable of self-repair, the laws of physics can be tossed out the window making it crushing a modern Camaro not seem silly.

Or she could nose under a taller vehicle and flip it on its side. Being all-wheel-drive also means she can easily chase down vehicles and people on dirt and gravel roads and go off-road without getting stuck.
