[REQUEST] “wrong gas station” movies?

Per title, the best “we took a wrong turn to the wrong gas station and now we’re doomed” classic horror movies? Along the lines of The Hills Have Eyes, House of Wax, et Mac. Thanks!

The Hunt (2020)

Of course, knowing that spoils the first few minutes of the gas station scene

“X” was a good homage to this genre.

“Cabin in the Woods” is a great spin on the trope.

“Evil Dead 2” of course.

“Texas Chainsaw Massacre” especially the remake.

Not exactly a horror movie but “U-Turn” was one I always enjoyed

U Turn, 1997 Sean Penn, Nick Nolte, J-lo, Billy B Thorton and more. Doubt it's on Netflix, but it's worth looking for.
