      honestly it didn't scare me much as a kid(I watched a LOT of horror with my dad). But as an adult the next time I saw it, after learning about the director, I started noticing how the creature is such a suggestive creep towards the teens it hunts in the first two movies and couldn't help but thinking of him as the creepy director's self insert, now I find him scarier if only in the ickyness of the character.
      If you think this one was bad with the creepiness of the creature towards a teen, it is more overtly disgusting in the second one.
      never watched the third movie.

    I don't know if anyone has pointed this out. But I feel like the reason it was Derry's eyes that the Creeper took was not only because of a cool homage to the song but because Derry saw everything the Creeper did. He saw him dump the body, he saw his last victim and the scar on his chest, he saw the urban legend couple and the multiple bodies. He saw the Creeper's crimes so the Creeper took his eyes as punishment.

    Granted, I never really enjoyed these films. By the time I was in 8th grade, I was desensitized to horror because I had played a lot of Dead Space throughout middle school so the Creeper was more dumb than scary to me

    Salva's victim gave a ton of public interviews during the late 2010s about his experiences, so you didn't have to not name him, but out of respect for your video, I won't use his name.
    The victim revealed that Salva was a close family friend & the abuse went on for about 6 years (from the ages of 6 to 12). Prior to becoming a hollywood director, Salva worked at a daycare center & would allow young boys to spend nights at his home.
    A friend of the victims mother ---whose daughter went to the daycare center---introduced Salva to the victim's family because Salva needed somebody to design props for a short film he was making, & the victims mother was artistically gifted. Salva then became a close friend of the victim's family.
    Salva auditioned young boys for a short film he was making called "Something In The Basement" & he ultimately cast the victim in the lead role. Salva also cast another young boy named Brian Mchugh in a supporting role.
    "Something In The Basement" screened at a film festival, & it won first place. Francis Ford Coppola saw the short film, & he gave Salva the financing to make a feature length horror film (Clownhouse).
    Salva cast the victim, Brian Mchugh, & a young Sam Rockwell as the 3 young boy protagonists in "Clownhouse".
    Some of the other cast members of "Clownhouse" noticed that the victim & Salva would interact in ways that are not appropriate, & they went to his mother.
    The victim told his mother about what happened & they immediately went to the police.
    After Salva was arrested, Francis Ford Coppola sued the victim's family for $5 million.
    Salva's victim said that he never went to prison, he served 16 months at a treatment center in Napa Valley.
    The victim made a documentary about his experiences entitled "The Boy", but it never got released (only a trailer for the film was released).
    Brian Mchugh (who was only 13 when Clownhouse was filming) revealed that Salva secretly videotaped him taking showers in Salva's bathroom (Salva had hidden the video camera in a laundry basket full of clothes).
    Salva likes to use his films to express his pedophilia, & the victim himself even pointed that out.
    Within the first 10 minutes of "Clownhouse", the victim's bare ass is exposed for at least 10 seconds. There's also a scene in which the victim is taking a bath, & Brian Mchugh is also in that bathroom taking a shit with his shirt off.
    In Powder, there's a scene in which the main character is peeping at a shirtless teenage boy giving himself a sponge bath, & the boy & his friends take the main character outside, strip him naked, & push him into a mud puddle.
    Jeepers Creepers 2 revolves around a bunch of teenagers--mainly boys-- trapped in a school bus. There's a scene in which some of the teenage boys are lying on top of the bus shirtless, and there's a sequence in which the creeper is licking the bus windows.
    Salva worked with 2 actors under the age of 18 in JC2 (Shaun Fleming & Drew Tyler Bell). One person who allegedly worked on JC2 noticed that Salva would give Drew Tyler Bell massages even though he was visibly uncomfortable.

    So, about the Disney not knowing thing....
    The reason Salva got off with a slap on the wrist was because he was friends with Godfather director Francis Ford Coppola. Coppola paid for Salva's lawyers, shamed said child in court, and kept getting him gigs. So there is a good chance that Disney did not know. Mainly because Salva wasn't a big name in Hollywood. It was not a Jeffrey Jones situation where everyone knew and worked with him and disowned him when he got outed. Salva was just a no-name loser that just happened to be friends with film royalty.

      It's curious because Disney missed at least two of its employees whose names are on the list of sex offenders: Victor Salva and Brian Peck.
      The question is: how would they not know? Even though Victor was not famous, his victim went to protest at the Disney studio for hiring his abuser (he does not want Victor to EVER work with minors again, for a very good reason).
      Don't make excuses. Hollywood studios are as concerned about this issue as the justice system.

      @@kaylalw3283 I don't believe it was originally human but that's my guess. We don't actually have an answer of what the creeper is unless the comic books of Jeepers Creepers has given the answer. The reason why he drives the truck rather than always fly is to hide during the day. It's easier to notice a creature flying in the sky during the day rather than night. That's why in the first and second film you see it flying around more often at night because it'll be harder to see it in the sky due to it being dark. Yes, the creeper did reveal itself multiple times to other people such as the police force in the first film and the farmer dad and son in the second film but It probably thought it didn't need to worry about anything knowing that people wouldn't believe their story of there is a demon like creature eating people.
      Obviously in the second film it does fly during the day but I believe that's because it knows it doesn't have to worry since the victims are in an isolated area making it difficult to call for help or run away from it. The truck is nothing more than a way to hide during the day and collect it's victims before returning back to it's hideout to dissect whatever it wants from them. For the other questions, I'm not sure. I assume he got the license plate from a victim or designed the license plate its self. Sorry for long text, hope this answers some of your questions.

    Salva got positive recommendations from e.g. Francis Ford Coppola to keep him out of jail for pedophilia. Clownhouse's main character's actor was continuously abused by SalvA and crew (reading lines at his house) and this abuse got overlooked by authorities because of the support Salva got from big producers and directors. He had been in jail earlier on in his live. So they all knew.

I had no clue about his crimes until I got online like 8 years back and it definitely shifted my entire perspective of the movie concept. It's almost like the creeper is just an allegory for his pedophilia

      @@Chudchanning Totally, Knight did a great job of pulling in those parallels and once you see them it’s kind of tough to ignore. For what it’s worth, there’s a great comic book series that came out around 2018 that doesn’t appear to be associated with the director, aside from him probably profiting off it, that you might be able to enjoy. It’s more about the origin of the Creeper iirc, I only got 4 issues in. I’m sure you can find the scans free online.

    I learned from Roanoke I think, could be wrong, but they scientifically explained the creeper and what it actually is. With all the abuse it takes and still lives, basically (in short) the creeper is the thing around its head, the facehugger type thing, because that’s the only part at points in both the first movie and the sequel that stays the same. I can’t remember if it was determined if it was alien, or demon, but either way that’s the actual original thing. Pretty sure it was determined that it’s an alien, because why would a demon have to hibernate?

      Demons (in mysticism) are neither discarnate nor corporeal. They are said to be a consequence of creation rather than a part of it. They eat, sleep...and breed.
      What they eat though....is down to the individual demon.

It was a movie that I’d throw on pretty often until I found out about the director, I can’t watch it anymore without being kind of uncomfortable, which is too bad because allot of talented people worked on this film.

    This movie is still great today and it's a true shame that the franchise will die-out with 'Reborn' being the final entry.
    But no matter how horrific the Creeper was the true evil was the director, looking back on this movie with the help of Knight here really shows how Salva inserted his own creepy personality into it, a lot of scenes now hold a very different feeling, almost like he was using this film to laugh about getting away with his crimes with such a light sentence, proving that if you have enough money and powerful friends you could (and sadly probably still can) get away with almost anything.

    Dunno if you go into it later in the video, but one part missing from the Victor Salva section at the start is that FRANCIS FORD COPPOLA was an executive producer on a bunch of Salva’s films DESPITE KNOWING. Which makes Coppola’s conduct on the set of Megalopolis a lot more understandable. Creeps protect creeps.
