Hitchhiker Wraith is the antagonist in The Hitch-hiker segment of the 1987 horror anthology film, Creepshow 2.

A spilled ember from the cigarette she was smoking causes Annie to lose control of her car at a slippery corner, where she runs down a Dover-bound hitchhiker. The hitchhiker wraith then pursues Annie as she tries to kill it over and over. "Thanks for the ride, lady!" is all the wraith ever says as Annie slowly succumbs to madness, destroying her car and eventually, herself.
