If 700-plus horsepower isn\u2019t scary enough, Dodge is dressing up its muscle-car monsters for Halloween with Hemi Orange and SRT Black packages.<\/p>\n

The sinister wardrobes are available on everything from V6-powered\u00a0GT models up to blood-sucking Hellcats.<\/p>\n

The holiday candy\u00a0adds to a lineup of Dodge muscle that has captured America\u2019s hearts, vaulting the Auburn Hills-based automaker\u00a0to the best-selling muscle brand in the country with 130,420 units sold in 2020 between the fire-breathing\u00a0Challenger coupe and Charger sedan. Including the ridiculous, 710-horsepower Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat SUV, Dodge averages more horsepower across its lineup than any other American brand.<\/p>\n

\u201cPerformance-vehicle owners are unique, and these two packages offer our customers the chance to stand out even more on the street,” said Tim Kuniskis, chief Dodge hell-raiser.<\/p>\n

The packages are comparatively subtle for a brand that has offered treats for its current lineup ranging from hood shakers to superchargers that shriek like a coven of witches.<\/p>\n

The Hemi Orange package \u2014 available on the V6-powered, rear-wheel-drive GT and earth-shaking, 485-horse V-8 Scat Pack Widebody models for Charger and Challenger \u2014 is distinguished by a grille-to-tail orange stripe embedded in Gunmetal black. It can be paired with a variety of colors, including Granite Crystal, Smokeshow, Triple Nickel, Pitch Black\u00a0and White Knuckle.<\/p>\n

Like ghouls’\u00a0eyes at midnight, other orange accents include grille and fender badging, and\u00a0\u2014 on the Scat Pack Widebody \u2014\u00a0orange Brembo calipers. The calipers contrast with Carbon Black\u00a020-inch wheels, naturally.<\/p>\n

The accents continue\u00a0inside the crypt \u2014 er, cabin \u2014 with orange stitching on the instrument panel, upper doors, armrest, console lid, shifter boot, and flat-bottom steering wheel. The seats are highlighted by orange stitching and a Dodge Rhombi\u00a0logo.<\/p>\n

The SRT Black package is reserved for the insane, 717-horsepower Charger and Challenger SRT Hellcat and 797-horse SRT Hellcat Redeye models \u2014 if you can catch them. The costume\u00a0is distinguished by blacked-out exterior badging for the grille, fender and spoiler for Challenger \u2014\u00a0grille, fender and decklid for Charger. The Durango SRT 392 also can be outfitted like its muscle car siblings.<\/p>\n

The Hemi Orange package will be available for order in the fourth quarter of 2021. Price: $2,995 for the GT RWD and $1,500 for Scat Pack Widebody. The SRT Black appearance package will set customers back $695.<\/p>\n

Watch Dodge\u2019s Twitter and Instagram channels on Oct. 31 for additional Halloween-themed content. Better yet, hitch a ride in a Hellcat for a real scream.<\/p>\n
