Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe original truck from the film is owned by a private collector in Maryland, who kept it as a relic and also provided it for the production of Jeepers Creepers 3 (2017). He also rents it for some events and conventions.
- Goofs(at around 49 mins) Trish's car obviously has a manual transmission but at one point we hear the car shifting gear while her hands stay on the wheel.
- Crazy creditsThe Creeper's truck drives across the screen after the final credits roll -- he's still hungry and searching the back roads.
- Alternate versionsThe UK DVD release omits Darry's screams at the end to secure a 15 rating (though they are audible on the director's commentary track). However the US DVD remains uncut and Darry's screams can clearly be heard in the film.

Featured review
Half A Terrifying Movie
Jeepers Creepers had me! It had me the way so few horror films have ever had me. For about 30/45 minutes, I couldn't move - I was paralyzed with pure fear. The mood was thick, the threat was frightening, the characters were pretty well drawn, the acting was good - everything was going swell.
And then the creature feature silliness starts.
It's a shame that Jeepers Creepers can't keep its energy up to a satisfying finale. Maybe people's mileage will vary. Personally, I'm not too scared by a creature that sprouts wings and flies off with people. It's just too goofy for me. It's a lot scarier to think that this creature might be something even spookier. Maybe if they'd kept the creature in the shadows more, it would have been scarier to me.
Still, the first act is one of the most terrifying things I've ever seen in my life and that's got to count for something.
