Context Trivia / JeepersCreepers

Go To


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.
