In the end of the novel it’s implied that Christine is still active, as everyone involved with the original story keeps dying in traffic related accidents and the final character is left knowing that Christine is slowly working her way across the country towards the last survivor

[@castortroy1727]

That was the reality. No happy ending. Christine couldn't be destroyed permanently. In the end Christine was fully regenerated and en route cross country to kill Dennis and Leigh last.

[@castortroy1727]

No doubt Christine's demonic female entity that possessed the 1958 Plymouth Fury (Christine was a succubus in my personal fan made theory and analysis of Christine as a sentient evil object and entity that possessed a Plymouth Fury on the vehicle assembly line in the 1950's.) A succubus typically being a female demon that seduces human men in their sleep, except Christine possessed the first Plymouth Fury on its assembly line in 1958, used the car she possessed as a vessel to seduce and possess her male human owners. Christine possessed supernatural powers and abilities including complete invincibility, regenerative abilities, supernatural force powered speed, and Christine in the book also absorbed the human souls of her victims as eternally imprisoned, enslaved and trapped ghost passengers. Christine couldn't be killed or destroyed. No doubt Christine eventually hunted down both Dennis and Leigh across the country and inevitably killed both survivors. As well as Roland Lebay's younger elderly brother George Lebay etc.

[@JeffTheHokie]

@@castortroy1727 She also had a cameo in the novel It.

[@castortroy1727]

@@JeffTheHokie True. Even as a psychological illusion/image used by It or fabricated by It to escort Henry Bowers to the Derry town hotel to kill the adult Losers Club. 😂

[@castortroy1727]

@@JeffTheHokie I believe Christine herself and her demonic, malevolent female entity that possessed the 1958 Plymouth Fury on the vehicle manufacturing assembly line when she was first built, was a succubus/female demon that seduces mortal men in their sleep, except Christine possessed a vehicle, the first 1958 Plymouth Fury on the vehicle assembly line, and seduced and possessed the living male human owners of the Plymouth Fury she possessed. Including the already mentally ill, born evil and twisted, cruel Roland D. Lebay, Arnie etc. In both the book by Stephen King and Carpenter's 1983 Hollywood movie adaption of Stephen King's Christine, Christine herself was always alive, sentient and possessed with a self-aware mind, supernatural powers and abilities, a jealous, vengeful, raging, murderous female personality and demonic spirit of her own. Roland D. Lebay while alive sacrificed his wife and their infant daughter Rita to Christine to possess Christine in the afterlife after his would be mortal death and be immortal. Either having attacked and incapacitated his wife to place Mrs. Lebay inside of Christine's driver's seat so that Christine could kill his wife, whose death Lebay staged as carbon monoxide poisoning and suicide. After elderly Roland Lebay sold Christine to Arnie, he died and possessed both Christine and Arnie as well the more time Arnie spent driving and repairing Christine. Possessing Arnie's body when he was away from Christine unless he was either asleep, or working and Lebay's ghost drove Christine to kill her/their victims and enemies.

[@patrickracer43]

It's actually explained in the book why Christine is a red, white and silver 1958 model instead of the standard beige on gold that was on offer, it's because Christine's original owner, George Lebay, custom-ordered the car through the factory... Also as been mentioned in other comments, in the book the car is the four door hardtop Belvedere while in the film it's the two door hardtop

[@rafaelfiallo4123]

In the book it's a Fury too, but they mention it's a 4 door, which didn't exist in 1958 but did exist for 1959 when a sedan was added to the Fury range. I've wondered if King didn't have a 1959 Plymouth in mind when the book was written.

[@JRC99]

Roland ordered it, not George. Both in the book and the movie. The difference is that in the book George is a kind old man who hates the car and wants to see it destroyed. In the movie he sells it to Arnie because Roland had already died.

[@mangrove]

The movie gave Roland's disposition and back brace to George. Roland is th eone who sells the car to Arnie, and he dies naturally.@@JRC99

[@JennyJeong425]

Only Stephen King could make a hotel and an old car seem terrifying.

[@castortroy1727]

Yes. More so in the book. The malevolent ghost of Christine's original former owner, Roland D. Lebay, possessed Arnie next to Christine after Lebay sells Christine to Arnie and dies later in the book. As Arnie continues driving Christine, he becomes more possessed by Lebay's evil spirit. Lebay possesses Arnie when he isn't driving Christine and when Arnie is behind the wheel as well. In Carpenter's film its the sentient demonic female entity of Christine herself alone that takes over Arnie. But Christine was always sentient/self aware and alive from the day Christine was built on the assembly line in the 1950's. In both the book and movie. Roland D. Lebay himself sacrificed his wife and their infant daughter to Christine to bound/merge his soul into Christine so he could possess Christine in the afterlife. Lebay was the ghost driver of Christine aside from her self aware demonic female entity that possessed the Plymouth Fury.

[@jenbirdscully]

Definitely read the book, it’s amazing. Dennis and Arnie’s friendship is one of my favorite non-scary things about the book.

[@ilikebeanies3499]

It made me cry at the end when Dennis said he missed his friend and that he wishes he didn't die. Those last few paragraphs hit hard. :'(

[@adventurekitty101]

I got close to halfway through the book before I stopped reading it, and I haven’t touched it since (I have ADHD which makes it hard for me to focus on reading, which leaves me with a lot of untouched or unfinished books and I’m hopeful I can finally finish Christine sometime now that I got an actual diagnosis and have started to work on ways of keeping focus) and I remember that I was rooting for Dennis to try and pull Arnie out of his Christine induced spiral, because I loved their friendship so much. Especially since at that time I hadn’t really seen any stories where the nerd and the jock archetypes actually had an amazing friendship.

Me too! Buddy Repperton and his gang of lowlife juvenile delinquent street thugs and bullies were just typical wannabe tough guy bullies and cowardly punks that could only bully the weak/those smaller and weaker than themselves, using a weapon/weapons or ganging up on one smaller, weaker individual that wouldn't/couldn't fight back but chickenshit in a real fair one on one fist fight or against another gang. In the book Arnie actually not only fought Buddy one on one but wrecked Buddy righteously inside of Darnell's garage before Buddy and his gang retaliated by ganging up on Arnie at school and Buddy pulling a switchblade.

Eeehhh...I can see why someone would use this as a bargaining tactic. It's a high-risk, high-reward method for sure, but if you're dealing with a serious collector, it sets you up as a possible kindred spirit, in the hopes of endearing yourself to the seller. Despite the counter-intuition of it, this line can actually work, though, especially when you're dealing with an item that, either due to condition or a miniscule niche market, can get you a better deal than cutthroat negotiation. Seriously, folks, watch some American Pickers; they pull this kind of line all the time.

@@roninikari I collect vacuum tube radios and restore them and I often use this technique with rare sets, especially since I'm 26yo and the people I buy from are all over 70.

Telling them how valuable their item it is to them make them realize that at least it goes to someone young and that will take care of it even when they will not be here anymore

[@h.u.n.k493]

I've always loved Christine. The movie deals with obsession, materialism, and toxic relationships if you think about it. Arnie's friendship with a jock may seem unlikely unless you frame it as a long running friendship since they were young kids. I knew plenty of guys who stuck together as friends long after their interests started to change. So a jock and a nerd being friends is not only a nice change of pace, it's also a bit more tragic when Arnie dies. This movie is more than just an "evil car" movie to me.

[@elenachristian9860]

The book states this exactly. Dennis thinks to himself that if he let Annie drown in the toxic waste of high school, the best part of him will go down with him. So he keeps standing up for him right to the end.

Fun fact: Christine is inspired by a (supposedly) real story about a dodge 330 limited edition version Called the golden eagle which was used as a police car and all 3 officers who drove it went home and killed all their families then themselves, it was then purchased by a collector of haunted cars and lots of people who had heard of the story of the officers vandalised the car and every single one of them were killed in horrific ways. One person was decapitated by an 18 wheeler and another person was struck by lightning, the car never drove itself but everyone who messed with it was killed. Eventually one day, a small group of people completely tear apart the car and spread the parts throughout several different junkyards but the owner got help from people online and mostly reassembled it. There are probably some possible explanations for this story but I don’t know It may have a kill count in the movie of 7 but in real life it has a kill count of 14
