He also directed Jeepers Creepers 2, Dark House, Rosewood Lane and Peaceful Warrior before returning to close out the Jeepers Creepers trilogy, although it seems this franchise may still continue. He served 19 months in jail for his crimes, and went on to direct The Nature of the Beast, Powder and Rites of Passage before starting the Jeepers Creepers franchise with the first movie in 2001. Victor Salva was convicted in 1988 for engaging in oral copulation with a minor, after he videotaped himself performing sexual acts with 12-year-old Nathan Forrest Winters, the star of his movie Clownhouse. The director did finally get production under way last year in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The production shift was forced by The Canadian Performers Union, which stopped a casting call from going out for the film, once the union caught wind of director Victor Salva's criminal past, which has always been a controversial topic in regards to this movie, and the franchise as a whole. While we still have a few weeks left until this special event, there has already been plenty of controversy swirling around the movie.Įven before production began, we reported last March that the Jeepers Creepers 3 production was being forced to move, just before the production was supposed to begin in Canada.
Jeepers creepers movie trailer full#
This trailer is a full minute longer than the first trailer that dropped two weeks ago, giving fans a better look at the iconic Creeper (Jonathan Breck), and those in the small town who band together to put an end to the Creeper's reign of terror once and for all. I prefer the second one to the original, but this will always be one of the true greats of horror.Screen Media Films has released a new trailer for Jeepers Creepers 3, which will get a one-night-only theatrical release from Fathom Events in theaters nationwide September 26.
He knew that people wanted to see, what they were scared of, and what would make for a good movie.Ī lot of elements in this movie are dated (particularly the effects), but on the whole this movie is still fun to watch and stood up relatively well. Where Salva's first horror effort, Clownhouse, was boring and fell flat, when Salva approached Jeepers Creepers, he really had his finger on the pulse of America. It's campy, but nobody approaches one of those movies expecting a Shakespearean production. The acting in this movie is about what you would expect from a slasher. It's an interesting concept, and a double-edged sword: it creates an urgency for the creeper as it stalks its prey, but it also causes extreme limitations in terms of sequel planning because the creeper is only around for that limited period of time (it's like Disney with their moratorium program get it before it's gone for years to come!). Every 23 years for 23 days, the creeper gets to feast. The movies are often talked about (for the good and the bad) and debated (mostly about the director) but, at the end of the day, this franchise's first entry will be remembered for many years to come. Jeepers Creepers has stood the test of time and gone on to become one of horror's greatest franchises. It was creepy, had some good jump scares and enough gorey horror content to satisfy the youthful audience at the time who demanded to see it.
Jeepers Creepers was a fresh and unique movie when it came out.
