The Love Bug is made-for-television film starring Bruce Campbell and a sequel to the original The Love Bug film. The sequel included a Dean Jones cameo, tying it to the previous films. Also, this movie introduced an evil black Volkswagen (and Herbie's part-time nemesis) named Horace, "the Hate Bug", giving the film a much darker tone than the other "Herbie" films.
