1 | * The two main characters were purposely written as siblings in order to remove expectations of sexual tension or nudity in the film. |
2 | * ActingForTwo: A minor example. Jonathan Breck, who plays the Creeper, also appears as the bald cop towards the end of the film. |
3 | * CompletelyDifferentTitle: The term (and subsequent rhyme) "Jeepers Creepers" is generally only used in the Anglosphere, so a lot of foreign markets had to make do. Some went for TheForeignSubtitle (as noted below), but several other markets translated the title to something else entirely. |
4 | ** Belgium and French Canada: Morts de peur ("Dead of fear"). |
5 | ** Brazil: "Olhos Famintos" ("Hungry Eyes"). This one led to The Creeper himself being popularly known as [[IAmNotShazam Hungry Eyes]] in Brazil. |
6 | ** Hungary: "Aki bújt, aki nem" ("Who hid, who doesn't"). The name of a equivalent nursery rhyme. |
7 | ** Mexico, Peru, Venezuela: "El Demonio" ("The Demon"). |
8 | ** Poland: Smakosz ("[[IAmAHumanitarian Gourmet]]"). |
9 | ** Romania: "Tenebre" ("Darkness"). |
10 | ** Serbia: "Strašno strašilo" ("Scary Scarecrow"). |
11 | * DawsonCasting: Despite being portrayed as a college student, Creator/GinaPhilips was actually 30 years old at the time of filming. |
12 | * DyeingForYourArt: Jonathan Breck shaved his head for the role, inspired by the notion that the Creeper was naturally hairless and would have to "borrow" hair from victims. |
13 | * EnforcedMethodActing: Creator/JustinLong and Gina Phillips didn't see the Creeper truck for the first time until they were on-set. In addition, Jonathan Breck made sure he didn't meet either of them until they were all on-set together. |
14 | * TheForeignSubtitle: The markets unfamiliar with the titular rhyme that did not go the route of translating it to something entirely different merely added subtitles. Some examples: |
15 | ** Argentina: Jeepers Creepers - El Terror existe ("The Terror Exists"). |
16 | ** France: Jeepers Creepers - Le chant du diable ("The Devil's Song"). Italy used the same title ("Il canto del diavolo"). |
17 | ** Germany: Jeepers Creepers - Es ist angerichtet ("Dinner Is Served"). |
18 | * RealitySubtext: Victor Salva, the director, was previously arrested for raping a 12 year old, who he had been grooming since the age of 7. The first film in particular makes for a much different watch with this knowledge. |
19 | * TheOtherDarrin: Minor example, [[https://www.instagram.com/p/CG-N2NDpORF/ the Creeper in the last scene of the movie]] is actually Creator/JustinLong, not Jonathan Breck. |
20 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: |
21 | ** Victor Salva originally wrote the role of the Creeper for Creator/LanceHenriksen. |
22 | ** Music/DebbiMorgan and Music/TinaTurner were considered for Jezelle Gay Hartman. |
23 | ** Gina Philips was asked to cameo in the second movie. |
24 | ** There were talks for a prequel showing the Creeper hunting in the Wild West era, but this never came to pass. |
25 | * WorkingTitle: ''Here Comes the Boogeyman'', named after the song by Henry Hall. |
