Storyline Edit. On their way back home during the spring break, Darry and Patricia Jenner witness a mysterious person dumping something down a tunnel. Deciding to discover what was dumped down there, Darry discovers a huge disturbing hideout full of modified bodies. Darry and Patricia set off to get help, unaware that the individual is now aware of who has been down the tunnel.
Darry and Patricia soon realizes that their pursuer is not just a mysterious person, but something even more horrifying, who has more in store than they could possibly imagine. Fear takes a road trip. Did you know Edit. Trivia Victor Salva wrote the main characters as brother and sister in order to eliminate any sexual tension and keep them focused on escaping the Creeper. Goofs at around 20 mins When Darry slides down the pipe, he is encircled by light which would have had to been shining directly down the pipe.
Seconds before he went in, he was staring into total blackness. Quotes Trish : [Darry wants to climb down in the pipe leading to the Creeper's House of Pain] You know the part in scary movies when somebody does something really stupid, and everybody hates them for it?
Exactly when The Creeper was born, or exactly what it is - many believe it to be a demon of some kind - remain unclear, but a deleted scene from Jeepers Creepers 2 confirms that the monster has at least been around and claiming victims since medieval times. Taking that idea further, licensed Jeepers Creepers comic books reveal that The Creeper participated in a human sacrifice during the time of the Aztecs, and that it was actually responsible for the infamous disappearance of settlers from America's Roanoke colony in the late s.
As for how The Creeper operates, it thankfully mostly lives in hibernation, coming out only every 23rd spring, and hunting for 23 days. To sustain itself, The Creeper needs to harvest organs from humans, and use them to replace whatever happens to be failing inside its own body. This cycle has clearly been going on for centuries, and while The Creeper has been challenged many times, he seems to be nearly impossible to kill. He's also quite intelligent, as revealed when he's shown to be able to speak English in a deleted scene from the first Jeepers Creepers.
By doing this he is not only able to amuse himself but it also works well in igniting more fear in his victims. However, once his time on earth nears its end, the Creeper can be extremely aggressive and ruthless, so he will continue to pursue his victims even when severely injured.
In the first film, the Creeper displayed more of a laid-back and almost human personality. He even uses some of the little time he has on Earth to make grotesque artwork from the bodies of his victims while listening to music. However, once his time draws to a close in the second film, the Creeper begins to put his full power to use.
Instead of playing road games with his victims and blending into human society he cuts right to the chase and ruthlessly hunts down his victims stopping only when he wants to "pick them out".
Despite being mostly animal-like and seemingly incapable of speech, the Creeper does display human emotions and intelligence. He is also shown to understand emotions such as amusement, anger, pain, and fear and at one brief moment it is hinted that he may understand compassion. When Trish begs him to take her instead of Darry the Creeper does actually listen to her and seems to give her offer some thought rather than just immediately flying away.
Nonetheless, the Creeper is merciless and unsympathetic for his victims and even goes so far as to turn their bodies into macabre art pieces which he then hangs on his wall like a hunting trophy. Despite being hundreds of years old, the Creeper seems to possess a very advanced understanding of modern human technology, weapons, and anatomy.
He can always drive a truck without difficulty, and has even found a way to make it travel at speeds that it normally would be incapable of. He also seems to understand the process of taxidermy as he is able to keep human bodies perfectly preserved for centuries and even uses left-over body parts to craft his weapons. The Creeper is also shown to be incredibly calculating and shrewd when pursing his victims.
He does not go full force on his victims unless they prove to be a challenge or if his time is short. Instead, he seems to prefer studying his victims from a distance by either donning a disguise or disabling their vehicles.
By doing this he can decide which ones would be the best candidates for him to pursue and strategically figure out how to catch them with the least difficulty. It is possible that he first took out the adults on the bus in the second film, since they could calm, or at least anger the teenagers enough that their fear would be drowned out. Another strange thing to add is that, despite being somewhat heartless and evil, the Creeper does not seem to kill people indiscriminately, only going after the people he chooses, and sparing the rest.
This might be due to the fact that he does not have time to do so or that he simply does not like to kill unnecessarily. Although it is less probable, this last idea can indicate that he does not kill people out of pleasure, but out of necessity, despite showing a degree of amusement when hunting his victims. However, he did fill his truck with traps to maim indiscriminately, though this could also be due to the fact that in the third film the Creeper seems to want to keep his secrets a secret going to the lengths of hunting down an old part of himself and basically breaking down in fear and anger when he realized that he had no way of getting to the people who found out about his origins.
The Creeper does not seem to discriminate between the victims he chooses going so far as killing children in order to continue surviving. Evidence of this is the fact that there were missing children posters displayed in the Poho police department, to which one can assume the Creeper is responsible for.
According to Jezelle Gay Hartman from the first film, once the Creeper has the scent of something it likes, it cannot stop hunting its prey down until it gets what it came for. In the third film, it is explained that with a will that is strong enough, a person can force down their fear and simply just become an annoyance to the Creeper; he will kill such a person, but as they do not give off fear, he will never eat any part of them.
According to Darry from the second film, the Creeper knows no mercy and consumes everything. The Creeper is also known to use intricate symbols and designs for his weapons. In the second film, after capturing Billy Taggart, he leaves behind a knife which is found by Billy's father and had the sign of the Creeper flying away with his son. The same happened for Darry in the first film as the Creeper used his belly button for a throwing star. The Creeper is also shown to be very proud of its truck.
It became enraged when someone peed on it in the third film and proceeded to hunt them down and kill them. The Creeper hunts its victims by their fear, Jezelle states that when it finds something it like, it hunts the prey down. The Creeper employs a variety of weapons in his pursuit for food. He commonly carries daggers and throwing stars made from the flesh and bones of his victims and, possibly, himself.
He also uses a medieval battleaxe in the first film, which may indicate that it has once lived somewhere else. The weapons he creates are shown to move of their own accord or, perhaps, return to their master in the second film, where a knife flies across a room under its own power, traveling through a leather lamp before embedding into a nearby wall. Later in the film, the same knife has been converted into a harpoon-like weapon to be used against the Creeper by allowing it to guide itself to its target.
In the third film, the Creeper seems to have some form of telekinesis, as he is able to command his truck to move to his will while he rides on the roof. Physically, the Creeper is inhumanely powerful, demonstrated by how it can effortlessly tear apart humans, also being able to bend metal, shown when it peeled back the entire roof of a truck to attack its driver. It is also quite agile, as it could quickly backflip off the bonnet of Trish's car and also jump up and run over its roof without falling.
Also, when Trish managed to throw him into the air by speeding into him and then proceeded to drive over him several times, he was shown to be rather durable, as a car driving over an average human several times would almost always crush and kill them, although the Creeper was still badly injured afterwards.
The two massive wings folded against its back are incredibly strong, being able to carry not just the weight of The Creeper, but also a adult human. With these, it is near impossible to escape, for its wings can easily keep up with a truck going at max speed.
The Creeper drives a very large, old-fashioned, rusted truck equipped with a cow catcher on the front, which he uses to transport bodies dead or alive to a mysterious cave underneath an old church through a sewer pipe where he sews his victims to the ceiling that it calls its House of Pain. He also uses his truck to scare potential victims. The truck can attain unusually high speeds at least mph despite its decrepit exterior.
In the third film, it is revealed to have been booby-trapped by the Creeper to kill any live prisoners inside of it who attempt to escape or those who venture too close on the outside to keep them from stealing it or stowing away inside it. The truck can shoot a spear out of the exhaust pipe, fire landmines, has retractable spikes in the back to kill or injure anyone who gets too close, is completely bulletproof to the point that bullets will bounce back and kill shooters even the tires have this feature , and the driver side door can shoot a spear from the inside to kill any prisoners who attempt to escape through the passenger door.
The true elements of Jeepers Creepers are derived from a series of Michigan-based events in the summer of , with the Jenner's chance meeting with The Creeper drawing eery parallels to the crimes of Dennis DePue.
The disposal of DuePue's wife's body coupled with his subsequent, protracted manhunt are clear influences on the final Jeepers Creepers backstory.
In , Michigan resident Dennis DePue was the target of a police manhunt after he murdered his wife and disposed of her body behind an abandoned school house. Different elements of the case were added to the fictionalized narrative of Salva's story, and while the movie is still too strange to be considered close to a real account, the DePue case certainly leaves an impression on the Jeepers Creepers franchise.
