SCREAM OF THE DAY: JEEPERS CREEPERS


Jeepers Creepers is the story of a brother and sister on a road trip where they encounter a flesh-eating monster on the last day of its eating spree.



Trivia:

*Victor Salva originally wrote the role of the Creeper for Lance Henriksen.

*Gina Philips (Trish) and Justin Long (Darry) were not allowed to meet Jonathan Breck before filming (in order to get a true reaction from them when they actually did see him with his full costume and makeup), nor did they see the BEATNGU truck before the opening scene was shot. When Philips first saw the truck, she said something to the effect of: "Is that the truck? Jeepers, that's creepy."

*The original title was "Here comes the Boogeyman".

*The original truck from the film is owned by a private collector in Maryland, who keeps it in storage awaiting the filming of Jeepers Creepers 3.

*At the time of its release Jeepers Creepers was the highest grossing film to ever be released during Labor Day weekend. The record would subsequently be broken by its own sequel, Jeepers Creepers II in 2003.

*Director Victor Salva wanted the countryside settings for the film to have an eerie quality about them. However Salva said that the Florida filming locations were so beautiful that often times the footage for the film would have to be darkened down to give the locations a more menacing appearance.
