3* The introduction of the Creeper in the first movie. The two siblings are just driving along when suddenly this god-awful horn honks and some DrivesLikeCrazy dude attempts to run them off the road! Awesome JumpScare and what a way to introduce someone! This also doubles as terrifying.
4** On top of that, the use of {{Meaningful Background Event}}s throughout the film, whether it's headlights approaching from behind, an [[FeatheredFiend errant raven]], or the Creeper perched on the roof of the police car behind the siblings. The focus of the camera is given to the foreground even when the background is where the action is taking place.
5* The director deserves kudos for some of the film's visual details, like how the state police car's taillights shining behind the siblings' car sends red light straight through the rear and front windows, making the windshield look like it's covered in blood.
6* Trish repeatedly running the Creeper over with her car to keep him down. It doesn't work, but she deserves points for trying.
