Rivian vehicles are known for giving drivers the chance to take the party on the road, whether its stowing a travel kitchen onboard or using its elaborate software systems to spice things up.

So with Halloween just around the corner, the Plymouth, Michigan-based auto maker is pulling out some treats from its bag of tricks: Rivian owners are getting a number of options to turn their vehicles into traditional spooky or full-on sci-fi entertainment hubs.

A software update available on the Rivian Mobile App until November 4 provides Car Costumes which, while in park, take over the vehicles screen, lighting, and sound systems to transform it into three different cars.

Nostalgic fans of the Knight Rider TV series will be pleased with the option to turn their Rivians into the famous K.I.T.T. crime-fighting car: After choosing the option on the app, the cars interior display system features K.I.T.T.s diagnostics on screen while playing the original show intro music.

Extra treat for Rivian Gen 2 owners: the exterior light bar will feature K.I.T.T.s iconic beaming red light, while playing its scanner sound effect.

No-less nostalgic fans of Back to the Future movies will also get their treat, with a chance to turn their vehicle into the DeLorean Time Machine. With this option, the screen turns into the classic time-traveling interface, while the audio system plays the movies music and acceleration sound effects.

Once again, Rivian Gen 2 owners get an extra treat: Hitting the key 88mph button will engage the cars lighting and sound effects in the front and back of the car to whizz you through the sound barrier.

For a more traditional spooky time, you can opt for the Haunted Rivian car costume, featuring eight different sound effects and three different color themes, ranging from purple, yellow, red and green. Static and ghosts will take over your interior display.

Rivian Gen 1 owners get a green animation on the outside of the vehicle. Gen 2 owners can turn the exterior light bar into whichever color option they find most frightful.
