* OneSceneWonder: The axe the Creeper uses to cut off Gideon's head is never seen again for the rest of the film or in the sequel, aside from its brief appearance as one of the weapons that landed on Trish's car after CarFu'ing the Creeper. Also shown in the Creeper's hand on the third film's poster.

*** Considering that it can apparently rip limbs off of other people and then stick them onto itself and have them instantly grow together, id be worried that each part would grow a new monster if there were multiple parts

* [[WhyDontYouJustShootHim Why Don't You Just Destroy the Corpse?]]: After Jack kills the Creeper at the end of the second movie, instead of doing the sensible thing and chopping the corpse to pieces and/or setting the pieces on fire, he ''stitches it back together'' and uses it as a tourist attraction, knowing it might reanimate 23 years later. Jack had proven to be incredibly BadAss throughout the movie, but that decision alone may prove him to be TooDumbToLive.

* CompleteMonster: The Creeper in contrast with many mute monster predators is more emotional and it's implied he doesn't kill and/or eats people just for feeding himself but he probably [[ForTheEvulz has fun in doing it]]. Just look the SlasherSmile he has on his face when he's about to do something horrible.

** If the monster has to eat parts of people to repair the corresponding parts of itself, then how is it supposed to repair damage to its ''wings''?
*** In the second film, the Creeper replaces his ruined head with [[spoiler: that of one of the students]]. The screeching appendage that grasps the new head and incorporates it into the Creeper's body implies that the Creeper is more than just an assemblage of human body parts that need replaced.
*** According to its page on TheOtherWiki, the Creeper's wings and clawed hood are a separate, nigh-indestructible entity.

* FirstInstallmentWins: The original is generally seen as being much creepier than the sequel due to the lighting, atmosphere and other horror elements. The fact that the Creeper is shown more in the sequel also kills the scary factor somewhat. There are also other factors that make the sequel seem more like a generic teen horror film than the previous film.
