Phantom Car and Slashers - GTA Online Halloween Events

Halloween is just around the corner, and many games received spooky-themed updates. One of these is GTA Online, in which you will be able to encounter slashers and phantom cars. Inspired by horror classics, getting these to spawn requires that you fulfil certain criteria. If you are interested in some horror action in GTAO, keep reading our in-depth Phantom Car and Slashers – GTA Online Halloween Events guide to learn how to get these scary monsters – and vehicles – to appear and give you a scare.

GTA Online Phantom Car

The Phantom Car is a very obvious reference to the most famous evil car of all time – Stephen King’s Christine. This red Declasse Tornado can appear and try to kill you, even though it doesn’t have a driver. Creepy, right? To get it to spawn, you will need to:

• Be in freeform mode, and not inside.
• It has to be nighttime, between 9pm and 5am.
• You have to be either on foot or in a regular vehicle (so, no helicopters, planes, boats, and other special vehicles like the Oppressor).
• A minimum of 16 minutes since you joined the session will need to have passed.
• There need to be at least two players in the session.

If all of these are met, then the Phantom Car can appear and attack one of the players. It is very difficult to destroy and the event will end once the car, or the player it is attacking, is dead.

GTA Online Halloween Killers Event – The Clown, The Psycho, The Driver, The Slasher

The Halloween Killers are based on the famous horror icons such as IT, Freddy Krueger, and Jason Voorhees. The requirements to get these to appear is very similar to the ones for the Phantom Car:

• Be in freeform mode, and not inside.
• It has to be nighttime, between 9pm and 5am.
• You have to be either on foot or in a regular vehicle (so, no helicopters, planes, boats, and other special vehicles like the Oppressor).
• A minimum of 16 minutes since you joined the session will need to have passed.
• You will need to be inside a spawn area. This special area is selected by the game.

Like the Phantom Car, these can be very hard to defeat. Once again, the event will be done once either the player or the Halloween Killer goes down.
